A Soldier by Unkwon, possibly J. R. (Jim) O’RourkeJ. R. (Jim) O’Rourke

A Soldier

Still a Soldier

I lay here today

I know some Don’t understand

I will try to explain it

The soldier and the man

I served my country

For many a year

I retired long ago

But the soldiers still here

I put on my uniform

I wore it to foreign lands

The soldier I was

Is still the man

I have been a good man

And a friend to many here today

But I’ve been a soldier all along

Even after so many years

And so my final salute

I render today

I’m still a proud soldier

I’m just on my way

Rest in peace soldier !

Our Mum by Andrea Jackson

Our Mum by Andrea Jackson

A special Mum is hard to find
For that we know is true
You gave to us unselfishly
Every single part of you

Your winning smile, those sparking eyes,
The way you made us laugh,
We know you were so peaceful
As you travelled Heaven’s path

Your memory is your inner strength,
Which last a whole life through,
God threw away the mould Mum
The day that he made you

Whenever we are lonely
And need your loving hand
We know that you will guide us
In life, to understand

That each day you’ll walk beside us,
We will never be alone,
The only thing that’s changed now Mum
Is that you are not at home

John 14:1-3, Bible New Testament

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Job 19:23-27, Bible New Testament

Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!

Nick and the team at Camberwell/Dulwich branch, were all very professional, organised and respectful. On the day of the funeral with Jack Uden at the helm, the cars and the team were immaculately turned out. With a disabled wheelchair user in the limousine, I very impressed with how they handled her wheelchair, stored and in place on six occasions without any issues, Thank you, mum’s funeral was perfect.

This is the second time I have used W. Uden & sons, Bexleyheath and they looked after both my parents in a caring and professional manner. I have nothing but praise for this family run Funeral Directors.

I cannot recommend W. Uden & Sons Family Funeral Directors Sidcup highly enough.From the moment we contacted them for my mums funeral the whole team were exceptional.I recall one of Spencers first words to us "I will look after mum as if she were my own", and that is exactly what he and the whole team did. Nothing was too much for him and he was always available and kept us updated with every step of he arrangements.Nothing was too much for any of the team from our first contact with them and even after my mums funeral.The whole team were very professional and extremely well presented on the day of my mums funeral and a special thank you to Callum for making sure the whole day went off without any issues or worries for us. He was superb. The whole team showed my mum and our whole family so much respect, and made a very difficult period a little bit more manageable.W. Uden & Sons are in my opinion a step above the other Funeral Directors around our area and I will definitely recommend them to anyone when the sad time comes that you need to use their services.

On behalf of my mother and the remaining family of Rudolph Weekes, I would like to sincerely thank W Uden & Sons for the exceptional attention, care and understanding shown from the collection of my father at home to the laying to rest at the cemetery.Every detail was impeccably seen to, the viewings in the chapel of rest were easily scheduled and the requirements for the funeral such as music checked and confirmed with the family.Special thank you to Darrel and Danny for their caring attention to my mother.An especially heartfelt thank you has to be said to the Funeral Conductor on the day Mr Andrew Uden who showed compassion, understanding of the family dynamic, the emotional weight of the occasion but also with a caring smile at the right moments.After leaving the church he directed the procession to pass in front of the family home where he placed a single rose an action which brings tears to my eyes as I write it here. Beautiful and befitting of my father`s memory.

Our family recently used Uden’s services in Eltham and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.Sarah is wonderful at what must be an incredibly difficult job. She went through everything with us very clearly and had a very calming manner. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was quick to respond to our questions. She looked after us throughout with real care and kindness.On the day of the funeral, Stanley and the other staff were so kind, compassionate and professional. On the day before the funeral, Stanley called to run us through what would happen on the day and check in with us. The staff and cars were immaculate on the day and everything was handled with dignity and thoughtfulness. Thank you for looking after our family so well.

Best funeral directors out there!W. Uden and Sons were amazing from start to finish (shout out to Jason, Adam, Lee, Bailey, Spencer and our fantastic celebrant Leo). They felt like an extension of our family - supporting us every step of the way through such a difficult time. We honestly can’t praise them enough. Losing mum at such a young age was soul destroying and quite frankly, I wasn’t ready to let go (like most people) and ‘feared’ doing all the funeral stuff simultaneously in such a short timeframe. This ‘fear’ went away when we appointed W. Uden & sons. We trusted them wholeheartedly and they truly captured mum like no one could on the day itself.It’s also worth mentioning we had a set of challenging requests and yet the team managed all effortlessly.1. Arranging a funeral service 2-3 weeks after passing due to family members leaving the country beyond this (please bear in mind that it normally takes 2-3 weeks to register a death so this was impeccable timing).2. Arranging mum to be collected ASAP (she was 2.5 hours away) so the family had plenty of time to see her before the funeral.3. Liasing with the hospital to collect mum earlier than the norm.4. Allowing 1-1.5 hours nearly every day from when they collected mum to the funeral day to allow us to visit mum in there quaint and peaceful chapel (of which the makeup on mum was stunning! Everyone commented similarly).5. We requested family members carry the coffin on the day itself.6. We requested an ‘upbeat’ tune on the car journey to the crematorium and shout out to Bailey for letting us sing mums favourite song ‘Build me up buttercup’.7. Collecting mums ashes in out of office hours.8. Arranging the witnessing of the charge after the service.Everyone on the day echoed what the family already knew- how fantastic the team and day was. We truly felt like mum was with us and this was all down to this team right here.As an added bonus (and I couldn’t not mention), all the guests were in awe of how handsome the team were carrying mum and giving her the final goodbye - we know mum would have been in her element too! ;)Thank you again from the Smith family 😃

I cannot praise Uden’s highly enough. They were very helpful at a difficult time. The service they provided was much appreciated.

★★★★★

The care and attention to detail given for my mums funeral were above and beyond expectations. The staff were immaculately turned out, the beautiful Bentley’s were gleaming and the respect paid to my darling mum on her final journey was so appreciated as was the care and kindness given to the rest of the family and mourners. I opted to use Uden’s services for my mum as they’d previously taken my beautiful sister on her final journey and I was blown away by their care and professionalism. I would never use another funeral director having seen the level of service Uden’s provide, there really is no comparison. Special thanks to Matthew Uden for taking care of every detail and helping me with sorting all the arrangements. I will always recommend your company as being the best of the best, thank you so much.

We used W Uden & Sons for the funeral of our beloved Cotilda Cooper. On the day of her passing, many family members came to visit her at the Camberwell Lodge, her residence for the last few years. We stayed all afternoon and towards tea time, two members of the Uden funeral home came to take Mum there. However, one family member was on her way to see Mum. The Uden staff were lovely and said they would wait until we wanted Mum to be taken to the funeral home.When she did leave, the Camberwell Lodge staff formed a guard of honour for Mum's exit.The main staff member who looked after us at Uden's was Danny. From the outset, he was polite, pleasant and attentive. He explained in detail everything we would need to do.On the day of the funeral, Jack, the funeral conductor, was friendly, but professional and he put all of us at ease. The hearse was dressed with flowers and when we asked for her photo to be placed at the back of the hearse, they did this effortlessly.They directed the family's pallbearers at the church and Mum was transported to the front of the church in a dignified manner.After the burial, we, the close family, were dropped off at the venue for the funeral repast in the limousines.We would highly recommend the W Uden & Sons' team for their calm, pleasant, professional manner and their discretion and attention to detail at all times. They inspired confidence in us before the day and on the actual day and we would like to thank each and everyone of them who was part of our loved one's funeral.

This is our third time using Udens to arrange a family funeral. As previously experienced, the service received was both sympathetic and professional from start to finish. Alan helped us with our initial appointment and subsequent follow ups, supporting us making decisions at such a difficult time. Andrew supported and guided us through the day, all of our wishes were taken care of. We would not hesitate to recommend Udens, for a professional and sensitive service.

My family & I are so grateful to Charlie, Callum and the rest of the team at the West Wickham branch for providing such exceptional service and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.They were all incredibly compassionate, understanding, respectful and kind throughout what was a difficult time for us all.We must also mention our celebrant, Nicola Taylor, who put together a truly beautiful service for our Mum and Karen at Re:Print for the lovely orders of service.Many people commented on what a perfect service it was so thank you to everyone involved.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️W.Uden and Sons family Funeral Parlour were absolutely perfect. Charlie, Jack, and the whole team made everything run so smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better send-off for my dad. They took such care with every detail — knowing he was a Fulham supporter, they even displayed the club logo on the screen along with his name. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that meant so much to us. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Andy M.

★★★★★

I am saddened to share that my son has passed away, and Uden was our chosen funeral director. They were incredibly professional and compassionate during this difficult time. They treated my son with the utmost respect and helped us navigate our grief. They were always available at the end of the phone to answer any questions we had.I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff and the Uden family for all the support you have given us.Regards,Andy & Emma

We attended the funeral of our dear friend Lyn Gentry at Eltham Crematorium on 30th July 2025. Everything was handled with great dignity and professionalism, and we want to thank Uden Funeral Directors for their care.It was especially moving that Lyn’s family were able to carry her coffin with such love. The funeral director leading the cortege was immaculately presented, and his smart appearance, calm composure, and use of the cane gave a sense of tradition, respect, and solemnity that set the perfect tone. His actions were proud yet sensitive — exactly what our friend would have appreciated.Having seen some unfair comments in the press, we want to say clearly that what we witnessed was the opposite: nothing ostentatious, only dignity, honour, and deep respect. We are very grateful to the Uden team for helping make the day such a fitting tribute.

I've used W. Uden twice in the last 8 months, for both my mother and father.They're very kind and compassionate, and honestly make you feel at ease during a very difficult time; every single staff member was so caring and patient it genuinely lifts some of the weight off your shoulders knowing the funeral is well taken care of.They offer recommendations when you're not sure, and talk you through anything you need help with, and are very quick to answer any queries through email or phone.I know they must be busy, being in London, but it always feels like they are dealing with only you, and never rush anything.The celebrants they had for both services were perfect - the one we had for my mum had us laughing through tears, it was beautiful.Both services were wonderful, I'm so glad I chose W.Uden, and I can't thank them enough.

I can’t fault our experience with W Udens after mum died. From the wonderfully compassionate and respectful chaps who picked mum up from her care home, to super efficient Kate in the office, and the guys who orchestrated the actual funeral - the service and kindness shown was exemplary.All of the suppliers that were recommended were also absolutely great.A first class experience from start to finish at what was obviously a difficult time.Thank you to everyone at W Udens.

Udens took care of everything for my father’s funeral. They’re were amazingly caring and personable in a very difficult time for the family. The level of respect they showed us and my father throughout the planning process and on the day of the funeral was amazing. They gave us the closure we needed and the celebration of life we wanted. They really went above and beyond to help us organise everything well.

Stephanie S.

★★★★★

First class service would highly recommend Udens. The staff were friendly, professional and approachable, nothing was too much trouble. On the day the staff could not have done anymore. Jay made me feel supported and nothing was to much trouble for him. Spencer was compassionate, friendly and helped me through the arrangements for my husband, he made me feel very comfortable. The young lady who took me to see my husband was professional and took her time with me. In such a difficult time its hard to know what to do first and Udens especially Jay & Spencer made the process easier for me. The service by Julie Powell was amazing she made it as if she personally knew my husband.

They guided us through every step of the process with patience and understanding, ensuring that all our wishes were honoured.

Barbara W.

★★★★★

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to W. Uden & Sons Funeral Directors for their support and for arranging the funeral of my father. From the very beginning, Sarah and Denise were always at the end of the phone—answering questions, accommodating last-minute changes, and offering advice and reassurance during a time when we were at our most emotionally vulnerable.A special thank you to Lee, our funeral coordinator on the day, and his team. They showed incredible respect throughout, almost blending into the background but always there when needed—whether it was quietly placing or removing flowers and orders of service, or appearing with umbrellas when the heavens opened.Lee was exceptional. He called the day before to ensure everything was in order and to walk us through the events of the day. On the day itself, he coordinated everything with dignity and care, guiding both our family and guests with compassion.The Bentley cars were a pleasant surprise and a most welcome addition—my father would have been so proud of that.Would I recommend W. Uden & Sons? Absolutely. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference at such a difficult time.

We made the perfect choice in choosing Uden's for our fathers cremation. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial appointment, to make the arrangements, until the time that we left the Crematorium, the staff were kind, friendly, empathic, approachable, professional, courteous, attentive and extremely helpful in ensuring that all our requirements were met and carried out to our exact requests. Ultimately, with Callum guiding us, making us feel very supported and special on Dads last day. Every member of Uden's team have impeccable manners. We never felt rushed or if anything was too much trouble. Thank you so very much from all of us, Dad's family and friends for your amazing service. We would also like to thank and highly recommend Sarah Sweeney Celebrant for her hard work and contribution, that made the whole service, bringing everything together. Thank you Sarah for making everything so special.

Michael Stanley HartMichael's funeral took place at Bluebell Cemetery on Friday 18th July 2025 and was attended by his family and friends.From the beginning of the funeral process, Nigel, at the Biggin Hill office, took care of everything for us. We chose the type of funeral we wanted including a photo tribute during the service and were offered recommendations for vehicles, celebrants, florists and printers.Jack Uden was our funeral conductor on the day and everything ran beautifully. Jack discreetly kept everything moving and no one felt rushed or pressurised at any point.The flowers, the Order of Service and the way our Celebrant, Julie Powell, read the Eulogy all just as we hoped for.I would highly recommend their services.Patricia Hart.

After finding my Dad passed away at his house we needed to call a funeral directors to collect him. I couldn’t really think straight so left it up to my husband. I’m so glad he chose W.Uden & sons. They were so kind and compassionate when they came to collect Dad and allowed me to spend as much time with my Dad as I wanted. I couldn’t watch them take my Dad away but my husband did and he said the respect they showed my Dad was amazing. I had no doubt they would take good care of my Dad.Spencer, at the Sidcup office, was wonderful and I was very happy that he also conducted my Dad’s funeral. He went above and beyond for us, after it took so long from my Dad passing away until his funeral. This was due to the coroner’s office and nothing to do with W.Uden.The celebrant that he chose for us (Joanne Bamford) was also amazing. The tribute she wrote for my Dad was unbelievable. A lot of people commented on how lovely Jo was and how lovely the tribute was.Sadly only a month after my Dad’s funeral my Father-in-law passed away. We had no hesitation in using W.Uden again. I would never use anyone else now and would recommend them to everyone. You will never get any better than them.

We cannot thank Uden & Son Funeral Directors enough for the dignified and respectful way they supported our family through the loss of our dad. From our very first meeting, they showed genuine care and understanding, guiding us gently through every step of the process.At no point did we feel rushed or overwhelmed. Their presence was always professional yet unobtrusive, allowing us the space we needed to say our final goodbyes in our own way. Every detail was handled with sensitivity, and their quiet support made an extremely sad time that little bit easier for us all.We are truly grateful for their guidance, respect, and compassion. They helped us honour our dad’s memory in the most fitting way possible.Philip & Jackie

The service that we received from W. Uden was 'second to none'. Both Jason and Spencer in the Sidcup office, were so kind and compassionate, as were the team on the day who were lead by Dean.Unfortunately, this was the second family funeral, in the last 7 months. However, both times we choose Udens, and and both times they delivered a superb service

The pall bearers and conductor were so in sync on the day, they made the whole process from the mass service to the burial, flow with such ease.I would sincerely recommend Uden's to others..sooo grateful for their expertise, as it was a relief to the family, to have their support in such a sad time.THANK YOU TO ALL AT UDEN'S BEXLEYHEATH FROM THE CASEY FAMILY

Jane E.

★★★★★

I cannot fault W.Uden & Sons since we had the sad task of arranging my partner's funeral. Nigel kept me updated along the way, the limousine and hearse were immaculate, they arrived at our address just slightly before the agreed time (which wasn't a problem), the staff were so well turned out and very polite. The Celebrant, Phil Painter, was exceptional and the printing company, which was recommended to us, produced a classy Order of Service. W.Uden & Sons even kept our neighbour's ashes for five years without once asking us to collect the urn. At such a very difficult time they made the journey as easy as it could possibly be.

Keith H.

★★★★★

We have used this company twice in the last two years and have found them to be just about the most perfect people to deal with in difficult circumstances. They deeply care about the service they deliver and they take a huge amount of burden off your shoulders with their expertise and professionalism. They always go the extra mile and make all the little things happen too. We cannot praise them highly enough. They have been of extraordinary support and reassurance to our whole family. Thank you to all at W Uden from all of the Hodges family.

Thank you all at W.Uden especially Kate and Charlotte who were so lovely to myself and my family on the passing of my husband for anyone losing a loved one it's such a sad time but the help and support from Udens made it so much easier to deal with from beginning to end we chose Udens because of the quality of service and the friendly but respectful way they dealt with us. For us this was the fifth funeral that we had chosen to use Udens for and the reason we've gone back time and again. Even today when I went to collect the urn containing my husband's ashes from the Beckenham branch Kate was again so helpful and friendly and she makes you feel so at ease . We couldn't have asked for a better all round service than they have us. So thank you all once again you helped lighten our load and made sure all went as it should. K. O'Sullivan.

We recently had the sad duty of arranging the funeral of my dear brother, who passed away at the age of 95. My wife and I, aged 86 and 91, found ourselves facing this responsibility during a time of grief, and we were unsure how we would manage everything.From the very beginning, the team at Uden & Sons showed such kindness, professionalism and genuine care. They quickly recognised the challenges we faced as elderly people ourselves and without hesitation, arranged for one of our daughters to be the main point of contact for all communication and planning.This thoughtful and compassionate gesture lifted a great weight off our shoulders and truly supported us throughout our bereavement journey. It allowed us to focus on saying goodbye without being overwhelmed by the practicalities.We are so grateful to Uden for their attentiveness and understanding. Their service was not only professional, but deeply human. Thank you for walking alongside us with such care and respect. Mr & Mrs West and Family! 🙏🏽

This was an obviously difficult time for my sister and I. It seemed that there was a whole other world to learn about and decisions to take. The team at Uden's made is simple, reduced any pressure and focused on what we wanted.

On behalf of my family and myself, I wanted to send our thanks for the level of care, professionalism and compassion you showed us during such a difficult time. From the initial meeting through to the funeral service, every detail was handled impeccably which allowed us to honour our mum in the best possible way.

Udens have been the funeral Director's for my family for many years. They collected mum from the care home, stored her in a coffin and made her up for viewing. They offered a sympathetic planning meeting and provided support throughout. They made the arrangements with the stone masons and the cemetery. On the day they were punctual, and the cars and staff were very smart. We were taken respectfully and punctually to the church, the cemetery and the wake.Thanks to Udens who looked after us and helped to make the funeral day go as smoothly as possible.Thanks also to Udens for sponsoring Crescent Tennis Club where I am a member.

Our beloved mother passed away suddenly, we met with Sarah who looked after us all the way to the day of the burial, they fully understood our needs for a traditional Chinese ceremony. We are so thankful for their attention to detail and compassion. On the day of the burial we met with Darryl the funeral conductor who was amazing and so respectful. We couldn't be happier with the service, thank you to everyone at W.Uden & Sons who helped. Sincerely Voong Family

I would definitely recommend to anyone unfortunate to lose a loved one.

Having used Uden (Sidcup) three times in the last 6 years I have to say that they are a fantastic company to deal with. It is obviously a traumatic time but they treated us with both compassion and professionalism that reduced the stress of arranging, and on the day of, the funerals.

After losing my dear Mum I cannot thank Udens Petts Wood for their help, care and humility in helping me navigate the process involved in arranging a funeral that had to involve two locations. I would particularly like to thank Allan in the branch for keeping me up to date with developments after we scoped out my requirements. In addition I would like to thank Clayton and his team of pallbearers on the day for their smartness, humility and the way they operated with military like precision. I would certainly recommend Udens Petts Wood for anybody who is put in the same unfortunate position as having to arrange a funeral.

We was recommended to W Uden and Sons from a friend and when we arrived we was very welcomed and the workers were so so polite and explained everything to us. We was extremely happy with how things went. On our special day everything was beautiful, the service and the undertakers were so polite and caring and put a smile on everyone’s face. The amount of comments we had from friends and family for how beautiful it was all done. They also looked after my husband extremely well and everything that was asked of them for the care of my husband was done. On a sad day we all ended with smiles on our faces due to all the funeral team and the celebrant they recommended. Would definitely recommend using them and would like to say thank you to all the staff for their help and compassion.

My experience with Udens for my Dad’s funeral in May was nothing short of exceptional. Adam was supportive and sincere right from the first point of contact. I felt very confident with them every step of the way. Adam was contactable whenever I had a query. He was understanding and sympathetic and patient with me. I really felt like Dad was in safe hands. On the day of the funeral Lee and the rest of the team did Dad proud. Professional and respectful. It made a very sad day that little bit more bearable knowing you were being looked after by such a wonderful company. Thank you once again for helping me say goodbye to my father.

Uden's made the process of saying farewell to my dad as painless as it could be.Darrell took us under his wing, from the first meeting when he helped my sister through her sadness, until the end when he Conducted dad's farewell. He was very professional, but most of all compassionate and caring.With the assistance of Adam and also Phil (the Celebrant), my dad was given the best send off anyone could wish for.I would thoroughly recommend anyone going through the same sad time to use Uden's to take care of your loved one.Thank-you Uden's, from all the family.

Excellent service from W. Udens, Bexleyheath, for my dad's funeral last Friday. I cannot rate them high enough for their professionalism, understanding, patience and aftercare. I totally appreciate now why they have been in the business for so long and would highly recommend them should you find yourself in position of having to arrange a funeral. Udens took all the stress away from what was going to be a very hard day for my family. Top notch guys, although, and I'm sure they'd understand, I don't hope to be back too soon!

You really could not do any better than choosing Uden & Sons to celebrate the life of and take care of your loved one. The whole team at West Wickham was absolutely brilliant from start to finish (and I am sure there are many more people behind the scenes). The planning was meticulous, nothing was too much trouble and Charlie walked the fine line between respect and familiarity perfectly.On the day, the whole event was flawless, and they instilled a confidence in us that meant we were free to mourn our Mum rather than worry about the finer details. Callum and Ray were amazing; respectful, organised, friendly and professional. The attention to detail in the whole process really made the difference. We used another company from the same area last year and the difference between the two was night and day. Thank you Charlie and your team - you are all a credit to your profession.

Following the death of my sister I called upon W. Uden & Sons, whom I found in the What Happens Next Steps Booklet. We found the funeral directors to be so helpful to us through a very challenging time. They were the first time we’d used these Funeral Directors so I was a bit anxious. However, they were professional throughout, talking to us respectfully and calmly in regards to what they offer in their service. Both directors we were involved with were patient yet meticulous. On the day itself, the funeral director was very thoughtful to what was a sad occasion taking us to the funeral service. He made sure that the service ran accordingly for the burial. The dignity was second to none during the casket handling and from start to finish the support was excellent. We couldn’t fault their diligence and understanding in such sensitive circumstances. Thank you.

We used Udens for my nan’s funeral and I can honestly say they were exceptional from beginning to end. The whole team were kind, compassionate, and incredibly professional – nothing was too much trouble, and they made such a difficult day feel that bit more manageable.The attention to detail was beautiful – from wearing ties in my nan’s favourite colour to creating a thoughtful little posy of flowers for us. The funeral bearers carried out their roles with such dignity and care, treating my nan with the utmost respect, which meant so much to us as a family.A heartfelt thank you to Stanley, who supported us every step of the way with patience, empathy and genuine warmth. You truly helped make my nan’s send-off so special, and we’ll always be grateful.

We have recently used W. Uden & Sons Biggin Hill branch for our close friends funeral. From start to finish Nigel at the Biggin Hill branch has been very understanding, helpful and attentive dealing with all the arrangements. Everything was handled extremely professionally from the initial preparations, visiting our friend in the chapel of rest, to the finer details of the service.The funeral was lead by Jack, our driver was Bailey, both were extremely helpful on the day and we felt safe in their hands. We choose the Bentley package, the cars were impeccable, the team extremely professional, the whole funeral was conducted to a high standard with excellent attention to detail.

My husband died this year after a long struggle with heart valve disease. Like many of you who might read this review, I was not ready yet to say good-bye, although I knew this moment was coming sooner rather than later. I did not want to have to deal with the funeral of my husband of 50 years, it was the part of the process I dreaded. I chose Udens mainly because of their reviews and I am so glad I did. From the first phone call to Allan, I knew I had made the right choice. I met Kate Georgiev for that first meeting to discuss arrangements. What a lovely, understanding and compassionate lady. She chose the celebrant for me, Phil Painter. He helped me with the planning of the funeral service. So many people spoke about how lovely and personal that was, reflecting my husband’s life. Andrew Uden and his team guided us through the “funeral” day. I cannot recommend them enough, if you are having to go through what I did a few months ago. They will understand how you feel, help you, be kind and sympathetic and much more. I cannot thank them enough.

Claire W.

At such a difficult time, Udens in Petts Wood helped us every step of the way, taking superb care of my beloved husband with care and compassion.

Allan and Andrew were both respectful and dignified and helped to give Chris a lovely send off. I can highly recommend Udens in Petts Wood

To arrange a funeral can be a very daunting process. I decided to choose Udens, Bexleyheath for my Mum. What was such a difficult time for myself & family, Adam made it a lot easier for me to cope with. He was so helpful and understanding and explained everything from the beginning to the end. He arranged for Roy the Celebrant to conduct the service and Roy did so with so much compassion it was as though he knew my Mum. Roy even added a special touch by wearing my Mums clan of tartan as his tie. The flowers were beautiful too. Everyone who took part looked very presentable and the cars were gleaming. It was a well organised funeral and ran smoothly. My Mum would have been so proud for such a lovely farewell for which she deserved. So a huge THANK YOU goes to Adam, Stanley, Roy, Tiffany and all the other members at Udens who helped make it such a memorable day. Would highly recommend.

Janet F.

I cannot express my eternal gratitude enough for Uden’s funeral services. They were poised, elegant, professional and most respectful in every aspect of my son Danny’s funeral. From first arranging the funeral and covering my exact wishes for my son. At every turn they made sure I was happy with everything, nothing was too much trouble for them. On the day itself lots of people commented on the poise, professionalism of all staff involved and their compassion, how smartly presented they were and how well they conducted the whole ceremony. I hope I don’t need to use them again, in a nice way, but I will only use Uden’s as I know I will be guaranteed a superb service. Again thank you Uden’s you did my son proud.

We recently entrusted W. Uden & Sons, with the arrangements for our mother’s funeral, and I cannot thank them enough for the exceptional service they provided. From start to finish, the team was professional, compassionate, and deeply respectful, guiding us through each step with clarity and kindness.They were consistently informative and communicative, ensuring we understood all the options available and were fully supported throughout. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal — they truly took the time to listen and accommodate our wishes.One particularly meaningful gesture was allowing my niece and nephew to travel atop the carriage, alongside the carriage driver, during the procession. This incredibly special moment brought great comfort to them and to all of us — a memory they will always treasure.Their thoughtfulness, flexibility, and attention to detail meant so much during such a difficult time. We are incredibly grateful for their care and support, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in need of a team who are not only highly professional but also genuinely kind and empathetic.

We had a tragedy in November 2024 and used Udens at the time.Then three months later in February 2025, we had to make arrangements for yet another funeral.

Through really difficult times Udens were a god send … I was thinking of 2 funeral directors to take care of my late beloved mother in her final days with us ! The instant i walked in it felt ‘right’.Charlie thankyou so much for all you did. Nothing was ‘too far ‘ or not dooable .. complicated by my mother’s culture and religion pre funeral days. They picked mum up rapidly which gave me great comfort. Listened to everything I said and needed … delivered everything I could ask for.The day of the funeral day was also so slick and executed to perfection. The drivers worked with dignity and respect and showed immense professionalism … so well presented and my mum would have been proud of them. The Bentley package was the least I could do for my mum and her love of posh cars. These are stunning and again I could feel her smiling …Sadly in life this may not be my last one to arrange and I will not hesitate to walk through the doors again if the need arises. Even if it’s my own !

Outstanding! Couldn't recommend Udens more!We changed funeral directors at the last minute because we didn't like the lax attitude of Dignity who we were originally going to go with - best decision we could ever have made.We were happy to leave our loved one in their hands. He was treated with dignity and respect, which I doubt would have been the case with the last lot.Always helpful friendly and professional, they took care of everything, ensuring the day went as we wanted it, even stepped in when needed. Always going above and beyond and exceeding our expectations.Our loved one got the send off he deserved thanks to Uden. Cant thank them enough! What an amazing team. Thank you for everything ❤

Udens kindness, care and compassion when looking after our Mum at such a distressing time was invaluable. As a family we felt cared for and supported with nothing being too much trouble. Alan was there to guide us throughout and has continued to offer support and advice since. The respect and dignity shown by the funeral conductor and the pall bearers during Mums funeral was exceptional. Udens Petts Wood should be very proud of the service they provided for us and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

Highly recommend W.Udens who recently handled my Downs Syndrome aunt's funeral and went above and beyond to help us ensure her funeral was a celebration of her long and happy life and her love of Disney. The funeral directors wore pink or blue ties and were happy to help us display Wendy's beloved Cinderella and Snow White dresses beside her coffin. We also wanted all her flowers around her coffin and they accommodated this too. They were kind, considerate and helpful throughout the planning process and on the day.

There are many Funeral directors in South East London but none are even close to Udens. On mums passing, Andrew quickly arranged for mum to be collected, lee and Adam showed so much respect and compassion for my family, it will never be forgotten.Charlie took care of everything, taking the pressure off me, when arranging the funeral.The Funeral was led by Lee, so many people, at the funeral, commented on how smart he looked and how professionally he conducted the funeral. Lee even made 3 posies for my brother, sister and me, such a lovely touch.Thank you to everyone in Udens, including the bearers, who made the entire process so special.- Simply Superb

My family & I have used Uden’s twice for our loved one’s funeral. Each time they have been very helpful, understanding & patient. Adam at the Bexleyheath branch arranged the most recent funeral for us - he was very knowledgeable and compassionate, from our first initial meeting and throughout the whole process.The funeral went seamless, and we are very thankful to the staff on the day who enabled this, as well as Matthew who delivered the service for us. They took the anxieties out of our hands, which let us celebrate the life of our loved one with minimal stress.Uden’s have managed to prove themselves twice to myself & my family and we would in no way hesitate to use them again.Thank you Uden’s for making an already very difficult time less stressful.

We entrusted W. Uden & Sons to lay my mum, Alice, to rest towards the end of February after she sadly passed away suddenly following a short stay in hospital. From the moment they brought my mum into their care while the funeral arrangements were being made, they were incredibly supportive accommodating our requests, answering any questions we had, and offering valuable guidance on best practices. Given the circumstances, we couldn’t have asked for anything better.We have used W.

Exceptional Service with a Personal TouchMatthew and his excellent team have consistently provided outstanding service over the years. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personal approach make a difficult time much easier to navigate. They take great pride in their appearance and the way they conduct themselves, ensuring everything is handled with dignity and care.When comparing prices with other funeral directors in the area, we found their service to be far superior while remaining competitively priced. The annual remembrance carol concert is also a truly thoughtful and touching event, reflecting their commitment to the families they serve.I cannot recommend them highly enough for their unwavering quality, compassion, and dedication.

Shortly after my father was discharged from hospital under the palliative care team, I phoned W. Uden & Sons and spoke at length to Charlie Uden, about the steps my family would need to take when we lost my dear dad.From the moment I first spoke to Charlie, through to when me and my family said goodbye to the team who oversaw my dad’s funeral, we couldn’t have been any happier with the service they provided to us.Not only did they treat my dad’s body with the utmost respect and dignity when they came to collect him, but their communication throughout what was one of the hardest times of our lives, was first class.We followed Charlie’s recommendation in respect of his choice of florist and printers (for the Order of Service) and were delighted with both.My family and I are so very grateful to Charlie and the rest of the team at W. Uden & Sons and would have absolutely no hesitation in using their services again.

We could not have asked for such an excellent funeral directors to manage the funeral. The attire that the staff wore was A Class and the directing to get the service started from the beginning to the end was amazing. I would absolutely recommend for those reading this true testimony to use W.Uden & Sons to get the service your loved ones truely deserve.

We went with Udens through a friends recommendation and we were very pleased with the whole process. From the start with Charlie at West Wickham , who went through all the process to us and made us feel we could contact him anytime, answered any questions we had promptly and could visit mum in the chapel whenever we wanted. On the funeral day all the undertakers were immaculately dressed, cars were immaculately clean, the undertakers were courteous, and respectful, they made the day go without any worries and took control in organising our families into the church and where to go. I would recommend them again, they were great, thank you!

An absolutely brilliant Funeral Directors. From the very start they showed a very caring approach. We had many questions along the way, which they dealt with quickly. And then on the day provide a respectful and excellent service .... even when we asked them to take an unexpected detour to my father's childhood home (where they stopped and laid a white rose)... By doing such a great job, Uden helped relieve a great deal of stress at a difficult time for us - thank you.

I wish I could add more stars. I can only add 5. Uden’s in Southampton Way were so kind and supportive at such a difficult time for us; they made everything feel easier. They were attentive, respectful and listened to our ideas and supported us in creating a celebration of a wonderful life for my Dad. I couldn’t list one person above any others, because everyone was exceptional in the care they took with us; from the drivers, the organisers on the day, the amazing celebrant and everyone beforehand. They made us feel safe and secure throughout and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Funerals are always a sad and challenging time. I had a choice between Udens and another funeral director. I had known of family friends who had used Udens so decided to proceed with using their services. Udens were amazing. We used the Bexleyheath branch. Adam was patient, compassionate and very understanding. He was quick to respond to emails and given my busy family circumstances was able to work around me not being able to come into branch. On the day itself , the team arrived in a timely manner , they were professionally dressed, empathetic and very lovely. Jack and Mike who were involved in driving our cars were brilliant and although I did not get the names of the other drivers they were lovely too. The co-ordination within the church service and at the graveside were perfect. Even though, it was a sad time Udens made it simple and much easier. They were incredibly responsive and everything they said they would do in the package did come to fruition. Thank you very much Matilda and Tobi Esan.

We are extremely grateful to Adam for all his guidance and advance from day one. He was very patient and did his best to understand our personal circumstances. The Funeral Service for my Dad was arranged with great attention to details. All Udens team involved on the day showed the highest level of professionalism and compassion to us. The family and friends who attended the Funeral asked for the details for future recommendations. In all our sadness saying goodbye to my Dad and my mum's husband - it was incredibly important to receive so much care and support. I would 100% recommend Udens services.

Many thanks to Lee (Jackson) who arranged and conducted Dad’s funeral, 07/02/25. From the initial home visit to the day itself all went well.

From the moment we called on a Saturday, out of hours, we knew we had made the right decision to have chosen Uden & Sons for Mum's funeral arrangements. Their professionalism, understanding, kindness and guidance throughout the somewhat difficult process at times was so much appreciated. Everyone we encountered were so respectful and helpful, especially Charlie and the three "Lees" on the actual day. We would highly and thoroughly recommend Uden & Sons at West Wickham and thank you again for all your assistance in ensuring that Mum was treated with dignity and respect on her final journey.

W.Uden & Sons were recommended to us by our Dad's care home and we would most definitely extend that recommendation. They are a family company that achieve the perfect balance between being professional, respectful and kind. We are very grateful to them for the service they provided. They went the extra mile to accommodate our dad's and our wishes. At a very difficult time it was reassuring to know that our Dad and us were being well looked after by them.

Thank you to Alan and everyone at Udens for the organisation of my mother's funeral. We lost her just before Christmas. Udens was the first funeral directors where someone answered a phone over the Festive Season, that was a relief in itself, to speak with a member of the team.We had some specific requests that were met with compassion and kindness, and everything was so well organised - bringing her home to the house the evening before - then the day of her funeral. Thank you again for your professionalism, care and compassion.

We used Uden & Sons in May 2024 for our Mum’s unexpected death, when we first met Stan who walked us through the entire process with compassion and warmth. He also led our Mum’s funeral on the day and Sarah, their photographer, came to take photos so that our father, who was terminally ill and unable to be at the funeral, could be a part of it. When our father died just nine months later, there was no doubt in our minds that we would use Uden again and we did so this January 2025, requesting Stan and Sarah again, both of whom were there and made the loss so much more bearable. Every member of staff there manages to express genuine warmth without compromising professionalism and that is something that can be hard to combine. We had the Bentley package both times and the cars were absolutely immaculate. They are a family business and they made us feel like a part of theirs, which was immeasurable at a time when we were losing our own. Thank you so much Stan, Sarah, Sarah, Ben, Jay and all at Uden & Sons for supporting us. You do a hard thing, wonderfully.

Having used W. Uden & Sons Sidcup for our Mum's funeral I can not praise them highly enough and they are worthy of 5 stars. Every member of the Uden team have been exceptional, from the first out of hours contact with Jack, the care in the handling of Mum on collection from home, and transfer to the Chapel in Sidcup, she was treated with such care, respect and dedication by the team.We would like to thank everyone at Sidcup including Jason, everyone on the day of the funeral, the drivers and pall-bearers who treated Mum so carefully and respectively.But I want to give a special thanks to Spencer who we mainly dealt with, he was so caring of both Mum and us as a family, he was professional, so supportive, kind and respectful with nothing being too much trouble. It was also Spencer who recommended Joanne who was our celebrant who officiated at Mums Funeral with a loving and personal service.We had a perfect day looked after by Spencer and his team, everyone was smartly dressed, the cars gleaming and everyone respected our Mum throught out.I would 100% recommend W.

I was recommended to use Udens having never arranged a funeral before. For my dad's funeral i was instantly impressed by the professionalism from start to finish. The Camberwell office setup is peaceful, stylish with small touches that make a huge difference to enhance a calm ambience. All my communications with Nick, Gareth and Daryl were attentive, gentle and dignified as they guided me through and answered my many questions and my requests were never an issue; they took care of everything/nothing was a problem. The funeral itself was handled with utmost respect and care which I truly am thankful to Lee (the conductor) and his colleague displaying traditional salutes, what a lovely touch. It is a truly difficult time mourning whilst having to sort formalities of a funeral that can be very overwhelming. You also want to choose a funeral directors that will look after your loved one and it was a huge point for me that i could pop in and view dad as many times in their chapel of rest (most competitors will charge extra for this). Again, it was never a problem. Udens provide exceptional service, put my mind at ease in all the arrangements and gave a great send off for dad. Thank you all.

On the day we were soooo impressed with Lee, Alfie & crew, all were super respectful & so smart.We could have not asked for anything more even the flowers on the hurst were positioned perfectly.

Maybe it's because Uden's is still a family business after 2 centuries, but the service really did feel so much more personal than any other funeral directors I have worked with.

My head was all over the place with the number of people coming to pay their condolences, and I struggled to meet the deadlines. Yet, you reassured me not to stress and handled everything with such care and professionalism.The photographs capturing the funeral were beyond anything words can describe—we will treasure them forever.We will wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone in need of your services.Thank you so much.

W. Uden & Sons are exemplary in every way - professional, respectful and kind. From my first meeting with Spencer to arrange my late Dad’s funeral, it was all carried out with sensitivity and patience. Joanne, our celebrant, who officiated Dad’s service, was excellent and most helpful. Stanley (our conductor), the drivers and the pallbearers, looked immaculate, as were the beautiful cars. The day went perfectly, I cannot thank you all enough for your truly outstanding professionalism at Sidcup.Carol Brent (daughter)

Hi all,W.uden & Sons did an excellent job. During this very sad time in our lives, everyone in the company we interacted with was extremely kind and made nothing difficult for us. Thanks to their help, we were able to say goodbye to our dear dad, husband, son, and brother with the honor he deserved. We all will face this moment one day, so if you need to lay a loved one to rest, W.uden & Sons comes highly recommended.

We recently entrusted W. Uden & Sons, Eltham branch, with directing our amazing dad’s funeral, and they were truly outstanding. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, helpful, and friendly during what was such a difficult time for us.Their communication was exceptional, particularly from Denice, who was nothing short of world-class. She is the loveliest, most approachable person, and her kindness and support made navigating this process so much easier. And when Denice wasn’t available, Ben treated us with the same exceptional care and respect alongside the most comforting smile (even when we were all full of tears and emotion).On the day, Jack and the team went above and beyond, showing so much care and attention to detail. The celebrant they chose, Jo Bamford, was the perfect choice for our dad. She was absolutely incredible and captured him so beautifully; she truly was a blessing.The whole team made time for our entire family, whether it was the multiple visits to the chapel of rest or addressing any of our concerns. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them.You never expect to have to plan a funeral unless it’s inevitable, but I can say with certainty that us Carpo’s will always return to W. Uden & Sons. They are, without question, the best in the business, and we can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us.

First class service from start to finish. I cannot express how much we appreciated the support and guidance we received arranging Mum's funeral. We were well looked after by Spencer who was patient, knowledgeable, kind and respectful when arranging what would happen on the day. He respected our wishes and helped us to personalise the day, ensuring we could plan the day exactly as we wanted. We were informed of all the choices and the prices were very competitive. Spencer regularly contacted us to let us know everything was in hand and dealt with all the other parties involved on the day (florist, crematorium, preacher etc), making sure everything went to plan. We also received a call the night before from Lee, who asked if we had any concerns and confirmed the plans of the next day, this really helped to put our minds at ease. Lee expertly directed the proceedings on the day and the other staff were professional, friendly and looked very smart. We had the Bentley cars so Mum could arrive in style and they were spotless. We appreciate the support and guidance that we received from W.Uden & Sons. They took care of mum, the family and everything else involved in giving Mum a lovely send off, it couldn't have gone better. I rate them 10/10 in all departments and recommend their services, especially if like me, you want to have your requests for the day to be carried out respectfully and profesionally, but without the stress of making sure everything goes to plan yourself. Many of my friends and family commented on how nice and professional the team were on the day and how posh our cars were! This is a heart felt thanks to all at W. Uden & Sons Family Funeral Directors Sidcup

We used W. Uden & Sons for a funeral of a family member. It was an extremely difficult time but Uden & Sons really took care of us. Charlie Uden in the office in West Wickham was just so accommodating and handled everything, Denice Griffiths in Head Office who went above and beyond to help us, and Jack, Lee and Jay all in attendance on the day at the funeral were incredible. Very kind, patient and respectful and ensured the day ran as smoothly and seamlessly as possible.The entire team have been a pillar of support and strength for us. Our heartfelt thanks W. Udens & Sons for supporting us all, during the most difficult of times.

We received the warmest and most courteous service from W. Uden in Eltham after the death of my beloved wife, Bronwen. Denise, who was looking after us, helped us sorting out and organise everything around the funerals. Through her we were put in contact with the nicest, most empathic and diligent celebrant, Ms Christina Carty, and the ceremony was a true celebration of Bronwen, including a nice webcam which went to the friends and family of Bronwen in Australia and New Zealand. I was truly dreading all the events around the funerals, but with the help of my children and friends, as well as Uden staff, we celebrated Bronwen life the way she would have liked.

This isn’t the first time we have used W.Uden&Sons and there was no doubt we would use them again for my husbands funeral.From the moment we walked in the door at their Biggin Hill office Nigel took care of us he was kind, courteous, caring and sympathetic.Everything was arranged seamlessly, and we had excellent customer service and was kept up to date from start to finish .We chose their Jaguar Package for my husbands funeral and it didn’t disappoint.Everything was taken care of, and at such a distressing time this was most welcomed. The day before we were contacted by Andrew and he told us he would be looking after us for the day of the funeral.On the day of the funeral the cars arrived and they looked immaculate. The gentleman were all dressed impeccably and wore ties in the colour of our choice, which was blue as my husband was a Chelsea fan.They took care of us all from the moment they arrived to the moment they left us. We couldn’t fault the service we received and would highly recommend W.Uden& Sons . Thank you for making such a difficult day more bearable for us all. We are truly grateful .

Thank you to Uden's for their kindness. The service they provided was 'perfect'. Nigel at the Biggin Hill branch was warm, compassionate and professional and is a real credit to the company. Jack Uden, with his colleague transferred my husband from home to the chapel with dignity. Jack also lead the funeral with his team with the same warmth, compassion and professionalism.

Thank you to Matthew and his team for their unwavering support during one of the most challenging times for our family. From the very beginning, Matthew took the time to explain every detail with care and was incredibly accommodating in answering all our questions. Our culture involves many specific customs and practices, but no request was ever too much. The team showed remarkable patience, especially with my mother, who tends to be quite anxious, and their kindness never wavered. The hearse was beautifully arranged, the event ran seamlessly, and we truly believe my father would have been very happy with his send off. As a family, we are profoundly grateful for the thoughtful and compassionate service provided.

They were extremely helpful and really made such a difficult time a lot easier. We went with the Bentley package for my dad and the cars were beautiful inside and out and extremely comfortable.

W.Uden & Sons have played an important part for the Young Family in the taking care of both my parents (these past years) on their passing and then their final journey. Their care and attention to detail from the first meeting to discuss arrangements, the liaison with the Celebrant and to the lowering of the coffin and transport home following the funeral was delivered with military precision. I cannot thank W Udens and sons enough for making a sad occasion memorable and a perfect send off for our loved ones. Thank you

Uden’s Funeral Directors are by far amongst the best there are in their industry. Our father’s funeral on the day was directed with perfect precision and was faultless. We had a church service and then on to the crematorium which was totally seamless. The director of our father’s funeral Spencer we cannot speak highly enough of. He was our contact from the start at Uden Sidcup and he updated us at every step along the way and made our Father’s day one not to forget. We had so much lovely feedback from our guests who said they had never been to a funeral like it. it was like a theatrical production from the arrival of the beautiful gleaming cars to the Soprano who led the hymns and sung solo. Also, a beautiful gesture from Spencer who handed my mother a flower from the flowers that were with my father, this meant so much to my mother. Spencer directed the Uden Drivers with military precision; all this making the family confident in his care. If this was indeed a theatrical production then Spencer would have won an Oscar for his direction. Thank you Uden’s you made for an unforgettable day.

W. Uden & Sons Family Funeral Directors have to say a personal thank you to this amazing business - from start to finish they have been outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone. From the moment I called them in the middle of the night and talking to Jack, visiting their amazing office in West Wickham and dealing with Charlie, Lee leading the way yesterday and Callum driving us (and everyone else involved that I don’t know your names) - each and everyone of them just exceeding my expections at every point. Family and friends have not stopped messaging me today complimenting them to the extreme! Thank you so much boys for making the worst month of my life as bearable as possible - and also Jo Bamford who you recommended was celebrant you should all be extremely proud of yourselves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My mum had sorted her own funeral through Udens in Biggin Hill and she made an 3xcellent choice. It was in trepidation I walked through those doors to find out what I did next.

From beginning to end I was supported by the kindest people and I feel that my mum would have been so proud of her dignified farewell. A big thank you to the whole of the Udens team

Especially in the chapel and afterwardsThe cars were beautiful..and we all very much enjoyed that experience. Especially for a good send off for Mum.The whole experience was made even better by Jo Bamford Independent Celebrant who worked with the team to make everything go smoothly. Jo is simply amazing, and tailored the service to fit us just perfectly. She took time to be with us, and get to know Mum through us. She then presented everything beautifully, with kindness and gentle humour. Highly recommend her.All in all Uden's added with Jo Bamford, and it was a very beautiful, carefully constructed day, with much attention to detail from both.

I cannot express enough how grateful my family and I are for the incredible service we received from W. Uden & Sons Eltham, during such a difficult time of grieving our dad.Throughout the funeral planning process, Sarah's professionalism and compassion stood out. She took the time to thoroughly explain all the available options, patiently walking us through every detail and she ensured that all our wishes were executed perfectly on the day of the funeral. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our family’s needs and was committed to making sure everything was handled with the utmost care and respect.On the day of the service, Stanley and his team were outstanding. They worked with professionalism, patience, and respect, offering the kind of support that went beyond what we expected. They were particularly attentive to my mother, who has a bad leg. The driver helped her fasten her seatbelt and Stanley showed her immense kindness by holding her had to support her when walking. These little acts of kindness made such a difference. They treated my late father as if he were a member of their own family. The dignity and respect they showed him was beyond words. The team's appearance was immaculate, and everything was coordinated flawlessly, which contributed to the peaceful and dignified farewell we were hoping for.At such a challenging time, organising a funeral can easily become overwhelming. The care and service provided by Sarah, Stanley, and their team relieved any additional stress, allowing us to focus on grieving and honouring our dad. What they did for us meant more than we could ever put into words. I highly recommend.

The team at Udens are truly fantastic. From the first phonecall to the comittal we were supported all the way. Their compassion and attention to detail is second to none. Having used them twice in 2 years we recieved a warm welcome and the service was still impeccable. Huge thank you.

It is hard to find the words to describe how amazing Matt and the Team at Uden’s are. They recently looked after my dear Mum and from the start they have been incredibly kind, sympathetic and compassionate. They have a unique talent of being able to understand their client’s individual needs at a time of great sadness. Absolutely everything they do is of the highest quality, standard and with the utmost respect no matter who you are or your circumstances. Matt and the Team take their roles very seriously and everything they do is done with a deep passion for ensuring your loved one’s final journey is as special as they are. Thank you Uden’s from the bottom of my heart for making my dear Mum’s final journey so special. 🙏❤️

I want to say a huge thank you to Udens for making a really painful time in my life as smooth and worry free as possible.We visited other funeral parlours when trying to decide who we should use to give my mum the best send off, but none of them gave us the same feeling as Udens, they just didn’t compare.We met with Charlie at the West Wickham branch who covered every little detail throughout our meetings, giving us lots of choice and options to create the exact funeral that my mum would have wanted. His compassion and empathy helped us to feel comfortable and assured that my mum was safe in their care and the professional standards of everyone who conducted the funeral for us were second to none, I just knew in the way that they carried themselves that they understood how important this was to each family, they took everything very seriously and they did my mum proud which I will be forever grateful for.I never felt that anything was ever too much trouble, no matter how many questions I asked, no matter how many times I wanted to recheck the details, they couldn’t do enough for us.Uden’s really supported our family; there is no-one else we would even consider using for any future needs.

Having to bury a loved one is never easy, but Udens made the whole process much easier! I was initially a bit uncertain about having a home visit, but with my elderly mother insisting on helping plan my Dad's funeral, it turned out to be the best decision. Charlie Uden was incredibly polite, respectful and took the time to carefully plan every detail. On the day, everything was executed perfectly. Couldn’t recommend Udens enough.

We chose Udens to conduct the funeral service for my husband Bill. From start to finish the whole thing was handled with huge sensitivity and compassion by Nigel at the office and we ended up having had the most perfect send off for him.Udens arranged for us to have a wonderful lady celebrant , Jo who was an enormous help in planning the service and certainly did 'hold our hands' throughout. She made some of the congregation feel as it she had known Bill well which made the service even more personal.... a true gift. Spencer our conductor was also delightful and just so sensitive to everyone's needs (including our faithful dog Pip) but also carried out his duties with precision and professionalism second to none. Thank you to all your team who helped us to have such a memorable and perfect send off for a wonderful man.

W.Uden & Sons are truly professional funeral directors.They handled my Father in Law with so much respect even though he had an unattended funeral.Udens also took care of my Mother in Laws funeral 10 years ago and their standards were the same then.Nigel and his team at Biggin Hill are wonderful.

Marie S.

★★★★★

Thank you. Professional, kind, caring and loving, are just a few of the words that I would use to describe those that cared for my mum from Udens. From our very first meeting, when you kindly visited us at home to discuss her funeral, we knew we'd made the right choice. The funeral was exactly what we wanted and the celebrant that you recommended was perfect. If you're thinking of choosing w.udens for your funeral arrangements you've made the right decision, they're the best x

We had previously used Udens when my father passed away, and so when our mum recently died, of course we wanted them to care for her as well. We saw on social media that W.Uden and Sons are opening up in West Wickham and Charlie kindly came to visit us at home to go through all of the arrangements. He made things really easy for us. He was compassionate and caring, and the whole thing from arrangement to funeral was absolutely beautiful. Every detail was covered, the cars were immaculate and the way they carried her with such precision was a truly magnificent thing. Thank you so much to everyone that helped to give our lovely mum the send off that she deserved.Best wishesGraham

From beginning to end W.Udens & Sons have been absolutely brilliant. Nigel showed us all compassion and was so patient and understanding at such a difficult time. Nigel handled everything with such dignity and was happy to coordinate with myself and my dad who was struggling to take in all of the information. Nothing was too much trouble and Jo the celebrant who he booked for us was absolutely fantastic - she is an amazing person and made the service so peaceful it really made a difficult day a little easier.Spencer our conductor - wow what a kind, compassionate and warm person. He is an absolute credit to your team. The day was flawless, he really did make us all feel like part of the family for the day. Nothing was too much trouble and seeing the care and compassion he showed Karen on her day was heartwarming. The drivers, the pallbearers were all so professional.I cannot Thankyou all enough for guiding me and my dad through this.Jade & Dean

I cannot fault the service provided by Uden's. Nigel was kind, caring and considerate from the start. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was handled with the utmost dignity. On the day of my father's funeral, Jack and Lee were constantly thoughtful in the way they interacted with us and the call from Jack beforehand helped to ensure we all knew what to expect. Thank you so much to you all for the part you played in making sure my father had the dignified, memorable funeral he deserved.

Incredible service, thoughtful staff, and attention-to-detail during a very emotional time for the family. They even wore (elegant) Millwall FC ties upon hearing my Grandad was a devoted fan. Cannot praise them enough. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Thanks so much.

★★★★★

Nigel at the Biggin Hill branch of W. Uden dealt with the funeral of my father with sensitivity and kindness. He responded promptly to messages and could not have been more efficient in setting up the arrangements. Lee, who conducted the funeral itself with great elegance and dignity, made a point of checking in with me the day before to make sure that everything would go smoothly. It was a day of great sadness but I felt that my father had been honoured and celebrated in a way that gave the family comfort and a sense of completion

★★★★★

It takes very special people to do the job W. Uden & Sons do. We had no idea what to expect or the process involved when our loved one passed away but Uden & Sons were the most compassionate and helpful Funeral Directors we could have ever wished to find. I must make a special mention to Lee at Uden & Sons Biggin Hill as I was completely blown away by the care and kindness he showed towards us all. I think he genuinely is one of the most warm and comforting people I could have met during this saddest of times for our family.The most heartfelt thank you goes to Lee, you will never know how much your words and your presence gave me great strength and for that I will be always grateful to you.With the warmest of wishes to you all at Uden & Sons.

Where do I start! Absolutely amazing team, so kind and considerate from the very beginning. They are so understanding and go out of their way to make things easy and as stress free as possible (which must be so hard in their work). I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who has lost someone very close to them. I am very grateful for your kindness and consideration down to the detail on my Dad's police flag.

The people who dealt with me and my partner were amazing every time we went to see my mum.On mum’s funeral day they brought mum home and treated her with such respect.Honestly they were so so kind and respectful about everything and nothing was too much for any of them.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is always difficult but Uden's are very caring and made the whole process as pain free as possible from arranging the funeral, getting the order of service printed and on the day of the funeral. Mum could not have been in better care. Nothing was too much trouble.

Robert Q.

★★★★★

I simply cannot recommend Uden & Sons highly enough. Having chosen them for my mothers funeral arrangements in 2006, I returned to them upon my fathers passing last month. I dealt with Nigel at the Biggin Hill office, who could not have been more sympathetic and helpful. The Uden team that conducted the funeral were faultless in their professionalism, courtesy and respect. I received many comments from mourners about how well the funeral was handled.

Sylvia B.

★★★★★

We had very recently, had occasion to use the services of W. Uden & Sons and cannot praise them highly enough for the caring and professional way that they conducted the funeral. At all times their attention to detail was second to none. From our initial visit with Nigel at the Biggin Hill branch to the actual day of the funeral we were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. We were given the choice of which crematorium we would prefer to use and they advised as to the type of service whether religious or not. In our case we chose a non-religious service and Udens recommended a wonderful Celebrant, Kate who helped us through the whole process both before and during the service. Our loved one was at all times treated with dignity and the wellbeing of the family was always at the forefront of everything they did.We were given advice as to printing an order of service and also useful contacts for the photo tribute which was set to music.The vehicles were immaculate as were the liveried chauffeurs and the funeral director. I can honestly say that the care and compassion along with Uden’s professionalism helped enormously to make an incredibly sad day more bearable. Well done Udens.

Nigel, Spencer and the team were truly amazing. They were the epitome of respectful, gentle , kind, totally professional, well organised and readily available.

We used Udens for my mother's funeral some 15 years back and were impressed and delighted with the service then. Last month we chose Udens again for Papa's funeral. Once more the quiet assured style and precision came to the fore with the entire team, from first engagement to last, performing impeccably. Much impressed and grateful for the care that was given.

★★★★★

A heartfelt 5-stars review for Udens Camberwell branch and its team for their services and professionalism as well as personalized experience during such a difficult time. The team at Uden has been very available to support and execute against everything we needed during the 1 month our dad's body remained in their facilities until they managed his repatriation to West Africa. Everything was well taken care of and went smoothly. Thank you!

John G.

★★★★★

We are so pleased to have chosen W. Uden & Sons following unwavering recommendations from friends and family who had used their services on other occasions. Caring and efficient from beginning to end during what was clearly a difficult time. Their professionalism and the support provided was faultless and I would highly recommend unconditionally.

Bridget N.

★★★★★

As a family, we have always turned to Uden's for our loved one's funerals.We find them to be very caring, considerate and of course very experienced. What is a very sad & daunting time, is made easier, knowing you can trust them implicitly.We entrusted our darling Mum into their care recently & Mum was looked after with quiet dignity until the service, which, with the help from Chris at the Dulwich office was all that we could have wished it to be for our Mum.Liaising with both the church & the grave personnel on our behalf, we would not have known where to start without his guidance.We would not hesitate in recommending Udens.

William H.

★★★★★

Udens took over this family funeral at fairly short notice from another undertaker, when the latter could not meet the desired funeral date. Udens were able to take over and meet all the requirements for the funeral, and provided a first class and dignified service throughout.

Sandra J.

★★★★★

Amazing Funeral director's!We were recommended Udens by the care home my uncle passed away in, and honestly they provided the best support, assistance and help. This is the first time we have had to deal with a death in our family, and they really held our hand through the process. They were patient with us, whilst the family was organizing the funeral overseas. We ended up doing a repatriation and they recommended a company based in Nigeria who would deal with things on the other end, and once again they did not disappoint. Very reasonably priced compared to the other directors out there. Honestly cant thank them enough!Special thanks to the Eltham & Camberwell team.

★★★★★

Very professional and friendly. Booked my Dad's funeral with them and they were very helpful and caring. They made arrangements for the care of my Dad from hospital to their Camberwell Branch. They advised me of everything I needed to do. The day before funeral the lead director dealing with the arrangements phoned me to introduce himself and told me what time he would be arriving with Dad, he checked if we had flowers for the hearse at our house so he could arrange extra time to place them on hearse and displayed nicely. On arrival at the Crematorium he made sure everyone had a order of service. They treated the coffin with the greatest respect. The hearse and 2nd two limousines were immaculate and the staff from Uden's were smart and professional. Also used Uden's a few years ago for my mum's funeral. Would highly recommend.

Lee

★★★★★

After losing someone close, making funeral arrangements is one of the most difficult and daunting times we all face at some time in our life.However, if I could give W. Uden & Sons 10 stars I would. Right from the very start they were highly professional yet compassionate, whilst also outlining and covering everything clearly during the meeting. The communication in the weeks leading up to the day was also exceptional.The day itself couldn't have gone any better. The level of service and professionalism was second to none throughout, of which my late grandfather would have been very proud. Literally, every detail, however small, was thought of and taken care of and they clearly do treat it as though they are looking after one of their own family.Therefore I cannot commend Chris at Camberwell and Spencer ( the Conductor on the day) enough for the effort they both put in. Exceptional true gentlemen.When the time sadly comes again, I can honestly say I would not hesitate in using anyone else but W. Uden & Sons.

Debbie L.

★★★★★

My Brother and I were very impressed with the professional way that Chris and the rest of the staff handled our Father’s recent Funeral.They were sympathetic and courteous throughout the whole process.A special thank you to Sophie who had to deal with a rather unpleasant person, she dealt with the situation perfectly!

Stewart G.

★★★★★

On the day, Adrian and Sam were reassuring, kindly and attentive. The procedures were carried out with dignity and reverence but were not over heavy in a way that would have lessened the sense of its being a family occasion.Prior to the day of the funeral, the manner of everyone we had contact with at Udens was always respectful and charming without being obsequious. Everything was explained clearly and all the organization and responses to our questions were done promptly and efficiently.The service was lovely. Before the funeral I was distressed and unhappy but thanks to you and Reverend Steve I now feel sad but calm.The only criticism that I have was that I would have liked to have been one of the pall bearers. I understand that there are probably legal reasons but, with covid and the fact that most of the attendees were elderly and travelling from many different places, it was impossible to organize that the family carried the coffin. I think that Udens could investigate the possibility of 1 or 2 family members supplementing the professional pall bearers in a way that doesn’t affect the security of the coffin and the congregation when it’s being carried.

W.Uden and sons were fantastic. We had to re-arrange funeral dates on 3 different occasions and they were professional each time and understood and cared each time . The service went well, staff made you feel at ease in distressing times. Thank you for such a great service.

When i had to arrange a funeral for the first time to be honest I didn't know where to start.I decided to go to W.Uden & Sons in DulwichI was greeted by by a gentleman by the name of Trevor who immediately put me at ease with his warm professional manner.He talked me through all aspects of the arrangements until everthing was clear and compleate.On the day of the funeral I was contacted in the morning by the funeral director Darryl,he talked me through the plans for the day and that put my mind at rest,when the time came he made sure everything was done ina respectful and careing manner and advisedmyself and the other mourners throughout thewhole time.The funeral staff are very smartly turned out,kind and helpfull and the cars usedare beautiful and well kept...I really could not have asked for more..so thank you W.Uden & Son for making one of the worst day's better.Yours SincerelyK.Stocking/Knight

I have lost 2 brothers, a mother and father in recent years, and Uden & Sons have managed their burials or cremations with the utmost professionalism, care and compassion. These events are awful things to go through, but having Uden & Sons by your side throughout makes a horrible process easier.

We used W. Uden & Sons for my mum's funeral as we had been given good reviews by other people in the past. I was not disappointed. Professional top service from all parties.
