It is often the smallest things that bring the most comfort — a hymn they always sang, flowers cut from their own garden — and we'll make room for whatever you'd like to include. You'll sit down with us when you're ready, tell us about the person you've lost, and go through each decision one at a time. The team here is experienced and part of the neighbourhood. Call our funeral home in Walworth and tell us what you'd like.
Your local team can talk you through an attended funeral in Walworth or an unattended funeral in Walworth, and help you choose memorials in Walworth when you feel ready. You can also see all our funeral directors in London.

I used Francis Chappell & Sons for the funeral of my best friend. They were so respectful and Julie was the best she helped with the arrangements and made everything smooth as it could be for such a sad time. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again. Thank you, Julie for your support and all your help through such a hard time xx❤️
