Services
Thornalley Funeral Services Ltd comprises of two funeral homes, Thornalley Funeral Services, in King's Lynn, and Chapmans & Thornalley Funeral Services, in Swaffham. Thornalley Funeral Services Ltd is owned and managed by the Thornalley family, of King's Lynn. The Directors, Ray, Shirley, son Andrew and his wife Abi take pride in delivering the best possible service and care to bereaved families.
This section is designed to provide you with knowledge and options that can assist you in making decisions regarding funeral arrangements. While burial was once the only choice, there has long been an option for burial or cremation in this country. Cremations soon became the most preferred choice with now over 75% of people choosing cremations.
Do you require any limousine(s)? In each limousine there is room for seven passengers. Limousine(s) can be used to follow the hearse from a private address or collect the family from a private address and meet the hearse at our Chapels of Rest or at the service. Will you be having family flowers only and asking for donations in lieu to a chosen charity, flowers and donations or flowers only?.
Both Mintlyn and Breckland Crematorium have two wall mounted screens so families have the option of having a photo, slideshow or video played during the funeral service. This can run in the background throughout the service or can be played during a reflection time in the service. At the Crematorium it is possible for the service to be recorded onto an audio CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, USB stick or broadcast online.
We have our own in house design and printing department where we can provide Order of Service's that are printed to a high standard, giving you quality that looks impressive yet respectful. Whilst some people choose a design straight from our guide, others like us to create a bespoke design incorporating special photographs such as their loved ones garden, prized car, pet, special place and much more.

We cannot thank Andrew and the amazing team at Thornalley Funeral Services King’s Lynn enough. Throughout the whole process the team has been incredibly supportive and thorough.
As a family we were guided through each step and had complete confidence that Dad was in the best hands possible. We had some alternative arrangements made for the day and these were all taken care of seamlessly.
This isn’t something that anyone wishes to deal with and everything certainly felt so much easier with the support of Andrew and the team. Words will never be enough to thank them all.

My mum passed away 16 months ago but have only just felt able to write this review. Andrew and his team were very approachable, sensitive and caring throughout. They allowed us to change plans with very little notice and were very respectful of our wishes. Collecting my mums ashes from them was made extremely hassle free and smooth. They just made a very difficult time as easy as it could be and there dedication was very much appreciated.
