We are working closely with the local authorities and our colleagues within the funeral industry to ensure that we provide the services that are needed, also providing the necessary care and protection for both you and also our colleagues.

The situation will continue to change on an almost daily and hourly basis and we will acclimatise accordingly, but right now these are the actions that we have put in place to ensure the welfare of all.

We already work with the highest levels of hygiene and safety standards across all of our funeral homes. We have implemented additional supervision and cleaning procedures in line with guidance from Public Health England to ensure the safety of our staff and all visitors.

We are here 24 hours a day seven days a week. You can find our local funeral home on this website, or you can speak us.
Please be persevering if we take a little longer to answer the telephone than normal, we are here for you.
If you have a funeral plan – there may be some changes with how it is used or what it covers.

Please call us with your funeral plan documents and you will be given the appropriate guidance for you.
We will do our utmost to provide you with the dignified service that you need.

We will advise you with clear guidance on what is possible during any arrangements

A Few Kind Words...

“Thank you for the care and support you gave to us all at the funeral of Annette Streetley, we did appreciate you kindness as we first stepped through the door at your Claygate branch and the days following. I know Tony, Rachel & Andrew were extremely grateful”

David & Betty Wakeford

“I would like to say a big thank you for everything. I had nothing to worry about, it all went so smoothly from the day of his death to the end of the funeral and in the circumstances could not have been better. Thank you so much.
I don’t have a great deal of experience in these matters, but compared to the other funeral directors I had to deal with, Greenwoods are the tops and you personally were a pleasure to deal with, you hit absolutely the right note.”

Ann Bishop

“Thank you so much for the care, support, compassion and understanding you showed with helping Chris and us to plan his funeral. You made a very difficult time for us more bearable for which we are very grateful. Thank you also for enabling all Chris’s plans to come to fruition. His ‘send-off’ was exactly what he wanted. Malcolm did a brilliant job too. Thank you, Jane, With love and sincere, thank you.”

Kathy, Samantha, Rosie and all the Sayer Family

“Would you please pass on our thanks to the young lady who conducted the burial of Joyce Ashby last week. She was so kind to Jean my very elderly cousin especially on the ride back in the Limo taking us through Richmond Park and chatting all the way. We then went on to have a family picnic in Jean’s garden in the sunshine a lovely way to remember Joyce and the perfect day for Jean. Very many thanks from all of us in North Wales.”

Clare

“The family would like to thank you and the whole team at Greenwood’s for your warm and professional service. We were delighted with your attention to detail and the relaxed but respectful manner of the Attendant and Bearers on the day itself. Many of our friends commented on the ‘dignity with lightness of touch’ and said it was one of the best-organised funerals they had attended. It was certainly a very different experience from my father’s funeral twelve years ago, and we shall recommend you wholeheartedly to others.”

Thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts. We would also like to thank the whole team involved in helping before, during and after my dad’s funeral. You truly are amazing, showing such dignity, compassion, care and professionalism. Thank you.”
