The Dilnot Smith family tree is fairly long and has been traced back to the invasion of William the Conqueror. Our side of the family has always remained in Woodnesborough. Although early family records were destroyed, I can prove 6 generations of Funeral Directors. John Dilnot Smith, my Great-Grandfather, moved to "Belle Vue" Beacon Lane, Woodnesborough in 1900 when the present house was built.
A funeral can be a reflection and celebration of a life as well as an acknowledgment of a loss. We believe in helping and supporting families in choosing a funeral that reflects the life of the person who has died. In life, many people are concerned about the environment and in death we are still able to continue these sentiments with a Green or Eco funeral.
When someone dies there are many decisions and arrangements to be made. Unfortunately these often have to be made at a time of personal distress. What needs to happen first will depend on the circumstances of the death and where death has occurred. This will also affect the type of documentation that you will need.
All funeral directors are legally required to publish this Price List for a standardised set of products and services. This is to help you think through your options and make choices, and to let you compare prices between different funeral directors (because prices can vary). This is a funeral where family and friends have a ceremony, event or service for the deceased person at the same time as they attend their burial or cremation.
Barham Crematorium is a beautiful place of beauty and peace set within acres of manicured parkland with majestic views across the Elham Valley. Built in the finest tradition, the Chapel is surrounded by beautiful gardens with rose beds, wide expanses of lawns and woodland.
This serene, natural parkland setting provides a place for peaceful contemplation all year round with the glorious displays from spring bulbs, to the summer fragrance of the rose gardens, this is a place of excellence, tranquillity and tradition.The crematorium is situated on the site of an old airfield used by Spitfire and Hurricane pilots during the Battle of Britain, and two of the gardens of remembrance are named after these planes.

I Used Dilnots for my wifes funeral on 3rd June.
What lovely people to deal with, they made things so easy for me even though i was feeling broken.
There seemed to be so much to do but with help from Denise, things all fell into place beautifully and the day was just perfect, even the weather was good to us.
I cannot recommend Dilnot too highly, not only were they very competitive on price, but they are with you every step of the way.
Thank you again for everything.

What a wonderfully amazing company. I would recommend them as the best funeral directors you could find. They are so understanding, caring, supportive, and helpful. Also, great value for money. They provided us with the perfect funeral for our uncle, everything we wanted and more. They are above a five star rating!
