I was recommended AFD by a family member and I cannot recommend them enough. Nitesh was amazing at explaining the whole process and the options available and was in constant contact. He was quick with replies and was able to make adjustments and meet any special requests we had.

Your questions answered
Are London funeral services held on Sundays?
Generally speaking, yes – funerals are held on Sundays throughout London and the UK. However, certain venues and faith leaders may not be available on Sundays. Some Christian ministers, for instance, will not work on Sundays because it goes against the tenets of their faith.
Can you arrange funeral services for a Muslim?
Yes. As multi-faith funeral directors, we help people of all beliefs and backgrounds and have a deep knowledge of religious funeral rites. Learn more about our Muslim funeral services or the different types of religious funerals we cater for.
Can you arrange London funeral services with catering?
Yes. We offer a range of optional extras so you can personalise the funeral and say goodbye in your own way. That includes organising catering for the funeral or wake. Learn more about our funeral extras.
