About Us

    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.
