The funeral service that caters for everyone’s needs

Julia Ann Sedgwick-Smith

(4th May 1938 - 21st December 2023)

In loving memory of Julia Ann Sedgwick-Smith who passed away peacefully at Epsom Hospital on 21st December 2023, aged 85 years.

Julia (who preferred to be called ‘Julie’) was the amazing matriarch of the extended Wright, Palmer and Sedgwick-Smith families. She was the glue that kept the families bonded together with love. She was simply the best. ❤️

Julie was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, step mother, nan, aunt and great grand mother.

She was a ray of sunshine who lit up the room wherever she went. She was funny, kind, thoughtful, caring, down to earth and an inspiration to all. She loved family gatherings, parties, dancing and drinking the occasional glass of red wine!

Julie was loved and revered by a wide circle of life long friends and former work colleagues. She will be sadly missed.

Julie’s funeral Service will take place at the North East Surrey Crematorium, Lower Morden Lane, Morden. Surrey, SM4 4NU at 3.20pm on Wednesday 7th February 2024. Dress code – please supplement with something pink or cobalt blue.

By request, family flowers only please. Donations can be made on the Just Giving section on this page to ‘British Heart Foundation’ or sent to Alan Greenwood & Sons, 25, The Street, Ashtead, Surrey, KT21 1AA. A donation box will also be available in the Crematorium Chapel.

A Few Kind Words...

“You make an extremely difficult time easier. Dad’s service was very fitting and I was so pleased to see him dressed in his uniform and hold his had one last time, Jess you did a lovely job. Thank you so so much.”

Clare

“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

“Thank you so much for the way you took care of Loui’s funeral for us. You really went the extra mile, we are really grateful for all your help with the arrangements with Louis and Mum.”

Sheila, Kenny & Family

“Thank you very much indeed for all your professionalism, support and guidance throughout the whole process involved in caring for my mother.

From the moment we met the staff at Holmwood Nursing Home until my collection of thank you notelets for my father to use I felt that everything was conducted in a most efficient and sensitive manner. I know that Clive spent a good deal of time with you and I was so pleased that we were able to have such a beautiful service very soon after the passing of our dear mother and wife. With thanks once again”

Jane Reg & Clive

“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

“We would like to thank you for a friendly and professional service and especially Adam who made a good job of the service, and a big thanks to Jane who was a great help and showed much kindness. We would recommend your company.”

Chris & Mike Whalen

“Dear Donna,

Just a little something to say thank you very much for all of your kind support during a very difficult time.

You really went above and beyond to help us and it was truly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us organise such a personal and fitting service for Margaret and everything else that you did for us.”

Bill, Sandra, Vicki and Family

“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.”

Carole Day and Family

“Dear David and Hannah,
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help and support over the last month or so.
The funeral was just as it should have been.
Your staff were lovely and the day went without a hitch.”

Michele & Caroline

“Thank you for all your kind attention during the funeral of my husband John on the 24th May. The arrangements were so efficiently and sympathetically handled that it lifted a huge burden from my shoulders. I enclose a cheque in favour of the Alzheimer’s Society in memory of my beloved John.”
