Funeral Directors

Welcome to A. France & Son – a family-owned funeral company established in 1764. Throughout our 250 years of history, we have provided support for countless local families, helping to arrange funerals, cremations, burials and memorial services that honour their loved one. 

Our caring, compassionate approach is coupled with our dedication to a personal yet affordable service, and this has led us to becoming one of the foremost funeral directors, serving families in London and throughout the UK – including Holborn, Kings Cross and Hendon.

Funerals, Burials & Cremations

We offer traditional funeral services, minimalist goodbyes or religious ceremonies, and we tailor every aspect of the day to fulfil your wishes, ranging from the coffin choice to the transportation and order of service. If you’re not sure, we’re here to guide you through this difficult time.

As a trusted local funeral director, we have accreditations and memberships to several core organisations, including NAFD, the British Institute of Embalmers, National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors and the Funeral Arbitration Scheme. This way, you can expect a high standard of service from our funeral undertakers, right from initial discussions to the final farewell. 

Here at A. France & Son, we’re here to bring you a warm, professional service that is built on our hundreds of years of history and experience. To discuss your needs with our team, please get in touch. We’re always here to listen and make sure every detail is taken care of.

FAQs & Advice

The Registrar will issue you with one copy. You will need another 4-5 copies to be able to send to the bank, solicitors etc. They cost approx. £11.00 each. In most cases we won’t require this certificate and will only need the ‘Green Certificate,’ which is sent to us directly.
Many funerals in the UK follow traditional religious practices with a typical service taking approx. 30-40 minutes. In some cases this may extend to over an hour. However there is also the option of a humanist or secular service which would include poetry, music and an appreciation of the life of your loved one. We are able to arrange a secular officiant for you if this is what you require.
