The Good Funeral Guide
INDEPENDENT FUNERAL DIRECTORS IN ASHFORD
Hello and welcome
Arranging a funeral is always a difficult process, and one that requires care, compassion and respect. At Hadaway & Denton, we aim to provide the highest levels of support, while also remaining flexible to your needs. As an independent, family-run funeral director (not part of a large corporate chain), we’re here to support people when they need us most.
Range of funeral options
Grieving the loss of a loved one takes emotional and physical strength and, at this time, we need people that we can trust in to look after us; we pride ourselves on offering a range of funeral options from a simple unattended service through to a bespoke service to suit all wishes and all financial situations. We do not put mark-ups on our products such as order of service or floristry to offer further practical support to our families, who can trust in our pricing; often our ethos can save families upwards of £1000 – £2000 compared to other funeral directors.
Please note that we also serve all of Kent inclusive of Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, New Romney, Faversham, Tenterden, Maidstone, all surrounding areas and often further afield…where you ask us to go; we go!
