    About Ashdown Funeral Services

    Ashdown Funeral Services was first formed in Sidcup in 1995, with a second funeral home opening in Belvedere in 1999 to providing funeral services to the Kent communities

    The teams at our Sidcup and Belvedere funeral homes will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. 

    Here at Ashdown Funeral Services we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.

    Claire and Toni and all the team at Ashdowns Blackfen made an extremely difficult time easier to deal with. Always at the end of a telephone if needed. I cannot express my gratitude enough. My mum had the most perfect send off.
