Stuart Poulton House, High Road, North Weald, Epping, CM16 6BU
The Only Poulton Family Funeral Directors
Our personal and professional service begins the moment you get in touch with us. Whether by our 24-hour telephone line or by visiting our funeral home in person, we are here day and night to provide immediate support.
Arrangements can also be made remotely if you prefer, with the same care, dignity and respect for your loved one.
Getting in Touch
When you first contact us, we will ask for a few essential details:
✓ The name of the person who has died
✓ The location of the deceased
✓ Your name and contact telephone number
If instructed, we will arrange to transfer your loved one safely into our care as soon as possible.
Planning the Funeral
We will usually arrange a convenient appointment at our funeral home to discuss the details of the service and guide you through the options. If a visit is not possible, all arrangements can be completed by telephone, email or video call — whichever you find easiest. Our priority is to make the process as simple and considerate as possible.
Decisions to Consider
During the planning, you may need to think about the following:
✓ Burial, cremation or repatriation
✓ Choice of coffin, casket or urn
✓ Dressing your loved one
✓ Where your loved one should rest prior to the funeral
✓ The location of the funeral service
✓ Religious or secular service preferences
✓ Who will conduct and speak at the service
✓ Floral tributes or donations to charity
✓ Who to invite and inform about the funeral
✓ Placing newspaper notices or obituaries
✓ Appropriate costs and budget
Arranging a funeral is more than a formality — it is a unique opportunity to celebrate the life of a loved one. Every detail, whether large or small, contributes to a meaningful service that reflects the person being remembered.
Our caring and professional staff are here to guide and support you throughout. Whatever your wishes, thoughts or concerns, please feel free to share them with us. We are here to help in every way we can.
