We are still asking for masks to be worn at all of our sites, on funerals and when in our vehicles. Stoneman Funeral Service was established in 1865 and is now a sixth generation family business. We are here to help and guide you, our advice is free and may be sought at any time. With our long experience as local funeral directors in Surrey, we are ready to act as advisers on all matters connected with funerals.
The earlier you contact one of our funeral homes, the more help we can give. Burials and cremations throughout the British Isles or abroad may be arranged with complete confidence through Stoneman Funeral Service. We believe that the funeral service should be as individual as the person who has died and therefore offer a wide choice of services which can be tailored to suit the needs, wishes and requirements of the family of the deceased.

Services
Liaising with the family and the cemetery or cremation authorities to arrange a convenient day and time for the funeral. Providing a clear estimate of both our fees and disbursements (fees we pay on your behalf). Organising the design and print of service sheets and hymn sheets, by liaising with the family, minister and designer.
We are well aware of the concern many people have, either in respect of funeral arrangements for themselves, or for a relative or friend for whom they are responsible. This is not just concern for the practical implications but most of all for the costs involved. Many people wish to organise and make provision for their funerals in advance of their own passing, in order to make things easier for their families.
When the deceased has left a will this needs to be proved at the Probate Registry. Once probate has been granted, the executors named in the will are then able to administer the estate. You can look for wills online, after probate has been granted here. If the deceased has not left a will they are said to have died intestate.
We are often asked to make a collection of donations in memory of the deceased, which are sent either in lieu of or in addition to floral tributes. Cheques should be made payable to the charity chosen and handed or posted to us, together with a covering letter. The donor's names are listed for the family's information and the final amount forwarded to the fund or charity.
He/she may write out a Medical Certificate of Death when visiting the house or may request you to collect from the surgery. If cremation is to take place, the doctor should be informed as they may wish to arrange for an independent doctor to visit the house before the deceased is removed. Once the Medical Certificate of Death has been completed, we are able to bring the deceased into our care.

Brian, Val & team, a huge thank you for all your support and help arranging our lovely mum's farewell. You all made it so much easier, still maintaining a very professional service, especially during these unprecedented & challenging times. Once again you have provided a top service for our family, first for our dad back in January and now our mum, you all are a credit to your profession, especially you Brian.
Kindest Regards

I cannot say how grateful I was to both Val and Brian for their kind, thoughtful and professional service when I used Stoneman’s in Tadworth for both my dad’s funeral in 2014 and my mum’s just 6 weeks ago. Nothing was too much trouble and they truly made what were traumatic and distressing times much easier. Stoneman’s was recommended to me when I lost my dad and I didn’t consider using any other service when I lost my mum. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Many thanks Val and Brian.

I used Stoneman’s in Tadworth in 2006 for my Aunt and the service was impressive. Brian & Val are experienced, professional, considerate & kind & have an ability to put one at ease. Nothing was too much trouble. So there was no doubt who we would use for my late husband. Brian even agreed, without hesitation, to visit my husband in hospital before he died to plan his funeral & make his wishes clear. Some of those wishes were not what I would have chosen but they were my husband’s so of course I had to respect & honour them.
I would not hesitate to recommend Stoneman’s in Tadworth.

We recently used Brian and his team for a family members funeral. They were compassionate, professional and polite from start to finish, and we would mot hesitate to recommend them. Their thoughtful service was carried out to the exact high standard you would expect and made a very hard day just a little bit easier.

Unfortunately in my life I have had the misfortune of dealing with many undertakers probably at least 15! who were compassionate, kind and sympathetic whom I would highly recommend. I found first impressions of Stoneman Funerals Tadworth disappointing and found Val to have an inconsiderate, rude and uncompassionate tone.

From when we walked through the door Brian and the team looked after us so well, when they collected my dad the lads were very respectful and accomodating as my mum didnt want to let dad go. They waited for a short while,not rushing her. We were constantly pleased with the service provided and when we went to see my dad he looked so peaceful and like my dad,everything went without a hitch and thats due to the team being true professionals and empathic to our needs. Thankyou so much , you made a very difficult time a lot easier.
