His mission was to care for the local community with Dignity, Compassion and Respect. Building on the growing reputation of his father, Bert Harold White took over the business in 1923. Harold White subsequently took over the business from his father Bert in 1958 on his return from serving alongside Montgomery and other Military campaigns and Humanitarian Aid after the war's end.
Whether you are dealing with the death of someone you love or you are simply planning ahead to ensure peace of mind for your family, we here at Harold White's and George White's offer to you a comprehensive, compassionate and dignified service. With over 120 years' experience, we are sensitive to the needs and the diversity of our community in which we serve, and welcome all faiths and beliefs, with a wide range of packages to choose from.
With this particular Funeral Service we request that all payments be made 48 hours prior to the funeral taking place. Whilst we will, with every effort, try to arrange the funeral on the day and time which is best suited to you, we reserve the right to arrange the funeral to take place at such time which may well be suitable to us.
For those who are conscious of our environment We have a range of coffin hand crafted by using traditional techniques, without the use of plastics or metal components, they are therefore totally biodegradable and suitable for Burial & Cremation. These coffins come in a variety of options. Willow, Wicker, Seagrass, Bamboo & Banana Leaf, they are extremely sturdy, yet have a tactile feel and finish.
For a unique keepsake that retain a small quantity of your loved one's cremated remains, 'Ashes into Glass' offer this with their creations of Tribute Rings, Heart Rings, Signet Rings, Earrings, Charm Bead, Round Pendant, Heart Pendant, Long Pendant, and Cufflinks in Sterling Silver, Gold and White Gold.

We can't thank Harold White staff enough especially Bernadette and Martin for their care/support after the loss of my dad.
They were there for us in this very difficult sad time and they made everything much easier for our family.
Even after the funeral i was able to contact them and nothing seemed too much trouble for them.
I would highly recommend them.
Yours Mrs S Kane and Mrs E Bateman.

I would like to thank Harold White funeral directors, Martyn and Bernadette but especially Bernadette, she is a very kind and approachable lady who helped us in so many ways, she made us feel so welcome and comfortable and was able to answer all our questions and be supportive, without her this funeral would have been very difficult for us as a family. It makes such a difference when someone is caring and understanding, I would highly recommend Harold White.

Having worked for Harold Whites as an undertaker for many years it was fitting that they performed this last service for Bob Plastow and they did not disappoint. Bernadette and Martin were wonderful throughout the whole time whilst arranging Bob's funeral. They made it stress free and Janet can't thank them enough for all their caring, sympathy and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble. Janet would also like to thank Gary and the other undertakers for their kindness and attentiveness on the day of the funeral. Janet was well looked after from beginning to end. Excellent service which Janet highly

Myself and the family couldn’t of asked for a better service. I’d definitely give them more than 5 stars ⭐️ From the moment I stepped in for an informal chat I knew this was the funeral directors I was going with it just felt right and it had a good feel to the place and Bernadette was so lovely.

We would like to thank Harold White from the bottom of our hearts for the funeral of our mum, Joan Allen, on Monday 1st February. From our first contact with them they were totally professional and compassionate and Bernadette was wonderful. The funeral itself was perfect; Martin looked amazing in tails, top hat and cane and led the funeral… procession on foot for some way. We felt that mum was being paid total respect on her final journey. At the chapel Martin and his colleagues were superb in supporting the three family coffin bearers.
The whole funeral, from beginning to end was calm

We would like to express our gratitude and thanks for making today special for the funeral of Frances Rubin (mother).
The coffin and flowers looked absolutely beautiful and we were able to give Frances a lovely send off. Bernadette, Martin and his team were so helpful in ensuring that things went smoothly and for waiting while we placed some of the flowers on Gary's parents' grave.
Parkview House Care Home where Frances lived for almost 6 years couldn't have given us a better recommendation to use your services and we are so grateful that we did, especially given the current pandemic. You were

We cannot thank Stephanie and Gary enough for their professionalism , attention to detail and heartfelt support they gave us throughout our time together planning and organising our dear mother's funeral. Gary directed us with supreme ease on the day of the funeral with respect and compassion and helped make a difficult emotional day a little easier.
They were fantastic and we could not have asked for more.

Harold White funeral directors are second to none. Respected every wish and found the perfect reverend. Anyone who needs a loved one cared for with dignity and compassion, Gary and Bernadette will make sure of this. We had a custom-made coffin for our loved one which was perfect! Thank you for everything you have done for us! Anyone who doesn’t use them are making a massive mistake.

We used this company for the funeral of my father-in-law and can say, without reservation, the whole process, from when we first entered their office at Chingford Mount to the end of the funeral, was immaculate.
I have been asked by all the immediate family of the deceased to convey their sincere appreciation to Gary and his team for providing such… a caring and exemplary service. We were treated like friends rather than customers and this went a long way towards helping us through this very difficult time.
Gary came across as a very caring person who really went beyond the call of duty
