Hadaway & Denton Independent Funeral Directors Ltd

31/07/2026

For many families, cost is naturally an important part of arranging a funeral. At Hadaway & Denton, we believe families deserve clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras or unnecessary pressure.

As an independent family-run funeral director, we do not have the large corporate overheads of national chains. This allows us to keep our services affordable while still providing the personal care, compassion and attention to detail families deserve.

Whether you are arranging a simple funeral or a fully personalised service, we will always work with you openly, honestly and within your budget.

Not every member of the Hadaway & Denton team wears a suit 🐾

This is Rosie spending some quiet time with Jo at our Ashford premises.

Sometimes, during difficult moments, it’s the smallest comforts that can make the biggest difference — a calm environment, a friendly face, or a comforting companion by your side.

Rosie is always happy to offer a little extra warmth and reassurance to both families and our team throughout the day 💙

🕊️ Behind The Scenes – The Morning Of A Funeral 🕊️

Long before families arrive, there is a great deal of care, preparation and attention to detail taking place behind the scenes.

Routes are carefully planned, timings are checked, family wishes are confirmed, and floral tributes are delivered and prepared ready for the day ahead 🌹

On the morning of the funeral, Carl and the team are focused on making sure everything is exactly as the family requested — helping guide and support them through what can often be one of the most difficult days of their lives.

If you are in need of advice, support or funeral services, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our friendly team.

💙 Bereavement Support & Finding Help 💙

Grief can affect people in many different ways, and there is no right or wrong way to cope after losing someone close.

Sometimes support from family and friends can help, while at other times it may help to speak with a bereavement organisation or find professional guidance.

On our website, we have put together a helpful bereavement support page with useful information, organisations and resources that may help you or someone you know.

Please remember — you do not have to go through grief alone.

🕊️ Your Loved One Remains In Our Care 🕊️

At Hadaway & Denton, your loved one stays here in Ashford under the care of our team throughout the funeral journey.

They are not transported around the country or passed between third parties. From direct cremations to large personalised funerals, every person we care for remains with us on site, looked after with dignity, respect and compassion by the same trusted local team, led by Jo and Carl 🤝

For many families, simply knowing where their loved one is — and who is caring for them — brings comfort and reassurance during an incredibly difficult time.

As fully regulated independent funeral directors, we believe personal care and transparency matter. Our family taking care of your family 💙

Why choose a large national chain when a local independent funeral director can provide a level of personal support and care that cannot be matched?
