Memories are honoured

At Mears Family Funerals our Managing Director Lisa McDermott, and her experienced staff, have been serving our local community for over thirty years.

We have seven local branches, Catford, Bromley, West Wickham, Ladywell & Lewisham, Biggin Hill, Beckenham and Eltham where we are always on hand to offer advice on all aspects of arranging a funeral or memorial.

Our Bromley branch is helpfully only six minutes walk from Bromley Registrars Office, our Catford branch is next to Homebase & Peter Pan Pond, our West Wickham branch is in the centre of the High Street and our Eltham High Street branch is just along the road from Francis Chappell Funeral Directors.

Our Principles

Mears Family Funerals, just like every company within The Steven Mears Group, is founded on three key principles:

1. Personal Service

95 yearsb Mears Family Funerals are able to manage every element of the tribute to your loved one. From detailed funeral arrangements to the repatriation of the deceased, from personalised floral designs to the erection of a lasting memorial, we provide help and support at every step.

We have, as a family, been caring for the Bereaved for four generations

Yet, you'll only have to deal with one person, your local Manager, who will be available and responsible for ensuring that everything is as you want it to be.

2. Professional Staff

We use professional training programs offered by trade associations such as the NAFD where appropriate, for example to keep abreast of the latest developments in important areas such as "green funerals" and the environment.

But just as important is the specialist knowledge and customer service ethos that permeates the whole Group, encouraged and sustained through regular "best practice" meetings and staff secondments to other parts of the organisation.

3. Exceptional Value

Wherever possible, we have simplified pricing - for example, we offer a single memorial price regardless of where in the country it is to be erected.

Similarly, we offer fixed price funerals for convenience. And where a variety of options makes it more difficult to work out the total cost, custom funeral prices for example, we have developed a funeral price estimator to help.

Finally, where we are required to make payments to third parties (often called disbursements), we clearly indicate these fees which we charge at cost.
