We are W. English & Son Funeral Directors, serving families from our funeral homes in North London. We understand that life with those you love is deeply personal, so it is a privilege to honour the final wishes of families as they say farewell to their loved ones. Our community is very special to us, and we are proud to have such close ties with many places of worship, ministers and local businesses in North London.
We cater for funerals of all faiths and cultures, burial and cremation services, and non-religious funerals. If an alternative funeral is most fitting, then we can arrange for bespoke services, such as woodland burials, green funerals and burials at sea. We are also here to give you careful guidance wherever it is needed, such as help with what to do when someone dies, legal advice, and emotional support. Your well-being is paramount to us, and we will do everything we can to make a difficult time a little easier for you.

With four packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one. If you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary funeral with a service, you should consider our Attended Funeral. If you want us to arrange a simple cremation without mourners present, our Unattended Funeral may better suit your needs.
The Attended Funeral
The Attended Funeral provides a tailored and dignified goodbye for your loved one. Whether traditional or contemporary, you can pay your respects in the supportive company of family and friends.
The Crematorium Service
Our Crematorium Service offers a service that will take place at a chosen time at one of our selected local crematoria. Here, a few people are welcomed to remember and celebrate the life of your loved one. A dignified and respectable cremation will then be carried out without mourners present.
The Chapel Service
We will provide a service at one of our chapels for friends and family to celebrate the life of your loved one. This will be followed by an unattended cremation, carried out with the utmost care and overseen by one of our qualified attendants.
The Unattended Funeral
The Unattended Funeral is a lower cost option that allows family and friends to remember your loved one in their own way, without the need for a traditional service or ceremony.
