Most people rely on funeral directors to bring sensitivity and dignity to funeral arrangements, and those are two of the fundamental principles of independently owned and family managed Abbey Funeral Services Ltd.
Founded by Jim and Chris Parker in 1983 and joined by their daughter Jo, in 1996 the award winning Tonbridge based firm have cared for families in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Southborough, Hadlow, Hildenborough, East Peckham, Pembury, Paddock Wood and neighbouring areas ever since.

At Abbey we recognise that funerals can be expensive and some people may struggle with the cost. We will make our most affordable funeral package visible to the public, including third party costs and we will charge clear prices for goods and services so people know what they're buying. We always communicate prices in initial conversations and prominently display full price lists in our office.
Please browse the gallery below to see some examples of our Coffins that we have available. We have many other alternatives so feel free to call and discuss the various options. Built using high quality Knotty Oak veneer with a honey stain and trimmed with double half round mouldings. Built using high quality Sapele veneer with a raised lid and trimmed with single mouldings.
Due to the high cost of land Cremation has become the more popular choice of funeral. Our local crematorium in Tunbridge Wells with its beautiful grounds has a pleasant chapel which can seat a congregation of 90, with a screen in the waiting room that can stream the service should the numbers be higher, in contrast there is a smaller chapel based in the Cemetery grounds.
Most of us, these days, have one eye on the environment and our impact on it and that includes funeral directors. We are keen to protect the environment in every way. All of our wooden coffins and caskets are purchased from a manufacturer in the UK who is a member of the FSC and who sources their timber from renewable forests.

Abbey Funeral Services in Tonbridge were recommended to me by family friends who were glowing in their reference. From start to finish, Abbey were professional, supportive and compassionate. I primarily worked with Karen, who is an absolute star. In the planning she was really clear and thoughtful in helping me select the appropriate ceremony for my father. There were a few external complications along the way (nothing to do with Abbey Funeral Services) and their communication and accommodation was fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure the ceremony went to plan, highlighting to they are

We cannot thank Abbey Funeral Services enough for their care and compassion during a difficult time. Having never arranged a funeral before Karen showed patience and understanding while guiding us through the process which resulted in the perfect send off for dad. We felt confident that everyone at Abbey was looking after dad with love and respect and this helped our grieving process. On the day Andy and his team were amazing, making sure everything ran smoothly and looking after us all. Thank you so much. Gill and family.

Abbey FS Tonbridge was absolutely excellent in every possible aspect with the funeral of a dearly loved one. From the first phone call till a few days after the funeral service, I can only describe the service received as deeply compassionate, supportive, encouraging, respectful and on the day every single matter was attended to with enormous attention to detail, professionalism and help in ensuring it all went smoothly. In particular I would like to thank Karen who was brilliant, kind and provided a truly first class service. Nothing was too much trouble. I am truly blessed to have met her during

Lisa and the team at Abbey Funerals are fantastic! Their customer service is impeccable nothing was to much trouble for them. After my first email enquiry Lisa gave me a call on the telephone she listened to my ideas and suggested Tunbridge Wells Crematorium Chapel which I had never heard of. It was perfect. Lisa was in constant contact with me thought the planning stages. She also called me two days before and on the day itself to ensure everything was going to plan. The day involved a horse and cart loop of the town, car transfer to the crematorium and three slideshows which were very difficult

Lisa at Abbey Funeral Service’s was so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and helped to make a sad day go without a hitch. Lisa even rang me the morning of the Funeral to ask if I was ok and that everything at their end was all in place. The directors at the Crematorium were brilliant. Thank you Abbey
