Early last year an executive decision was made to extend our acclaimed funeral services to residents in the north of Bexley Borough.

We needed a premier location to compliment our first class vehicles and staff; somewhere just off the Broadway, near to all the major retailers. Who would have thought that a disused public toilets could be transformed from a derelict eyesore to the beautiful building that we have created!

Purchased at public auction, plans for conversion were submitted to the local authority in August last year and building work commenced in October 2011. Our contractors, Brylane Construction & AMP Electrical have retained the external footprint of the building whilst completely re-structuring the interior layout, providing tranquil offices for the benefit of our clients. Work was completed at the end of February 2012 and we have already arranged several funerals since opening our doors in March.

We have appointed Nicholas Bennett as our new branch manager. ”Nick” is a local man, born and brought up in Welling, who now lives in Bexleyheath with his wife and young family. He joined the firm in 2002 and has worked at our Sidcup branch, looking after bereaved families in that area. He therefore brings a wealth of experience to his new role and is looking forward to extending the high standards of our company to this part of the Borough.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome two further members of staff who have recently joined our Company. Garreth Welsh, who has transferred as a manager from the Co-Operative Funeral Service, and Kevin Willows who is an experienced chauffeur and bearer. Both men are based at our Sidcup branch but will be frequent visitors to our Bexleyheath premises.

There has been considerable interest within the local community regarding our Golden Charter prepaid funerals. If anyone would like more details, please telephone our office on 020 8303 1279 or call in when passing and talk to Nicholas who will be pleased to advise you. We can also arrange to visit you in the privacy of your own home if you prefer. A few minutes planning for the future will make everything easier for your family and loved ones when that fateful time comes.

On June 16th we are holding an open day at our Bexleyheath branch where you can visit our premises and inspect our vehicles. Also on display will be a horse drawn carriage, together with a motorcycle hearse. Members of the Uden family and staff will be available to answer any questions that you may have. Please join us between 10 am and 4pm for refreshments and a chance to meet in social circumstances rather than at a time of need.

Best wishes.

February 2012 will forever be remembered in the annals of our Company for the opening of our new flagship branch in Bexleyheath, and for our involvement in the Bexleyheath Pancake Race.

Back in the summer of 2011 a small article in a local paper relating to sale by Bexley Council of a disused public convenience in Townley Road caught the eye of one of our employees. What at first seemed a preposterous idea of transforming an old and dilapidated toilet block into a modern funeral home soon grabbed the imagination of our management staff. Having acquired the site and subsequent planning permission, building work commenced in October last year and we now hope to open in late February.

Please look out for our new premises which are located at:

A picture tells a thousand words and all of them reflect credit upon our Company as Philip, Andrew and Matthew Uden, representing three generations of the family    business, joined with staff to proudly display their new fleet of Jaguar funeral vehicles now in service with W. Uden & Sons.

Three new hearses and six luxury limousines have now been added to our fleet, which also includes a contemporary Rolls Royce hearse and matching limousine. 

Based throughout our branches in South East London, these working vehicles are now in daily use on all our funerals and reflect the high levels of quality and service you can expect from our company.

 Photographed on Blackheath by Sarah Knight, even the rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of our staff who have the daily pleasure of driving these luxury vehicles.

Equipped with every modern accessory, these cars provide safety and comfort to grieving families as they accompany their loved one on his or her final journey.  

For the technically minded, the vehicles are based on the Jaguar XJ Series with an aluminium body and (3,000cc) engine. The cars are hand built in Berkshire by Willcox & Sons, specialist coachbuilders. 

I welcome your comments and opinions on our vehicles, our premises, our staff or any other matter relating to our company. Please email matt@wuden.com

You will see from the photographs in our gallery that the quality of finish to this prestigious building reflects the standards we apply to all our work and we now look forward to extending our service to the wider community of Bexleyheath, Welling Erith, Crayford and Dartford.
