Harold Wood Funeral Services - Hilldene Funeral Home (Harold Hill)

Our founders Thomas & Margaret Coyte were inspired by their mothers, who assisted neighbours with birth & death practicalities. We work in a natural, traditional way, with the Same Care and Advice as for Friends. We have a quartet of premises in Harold Wood, Harold Hill, Collier Row & Hainault.

Our Consulting Team builds on decades of experience; a listening & conversational approach, joining you around the table with a coffee. We have good knowledge of local ministers, celebrants, churches, temples, crematoria & cemeteries (including “woodland grounds") and help find more modest options. We also help with “direct/unattended” events.

We are the trusted, gentle custodians of your Loved One. We welcome family requests to join us in their washing and dressing, in our pleasant facilities. Our viewing room presentation is comforting, on a semblance of a bed if wanted. We can arrange funerals within a few days, or care for the deceased for longer, while world travel arrangements are made.

On the funeral day our Operations Team are in "best bib and tuckers,” all shiny shoes and top hats, proud of our well-kept Mercedes vehicles. The sum of Harold Wood Funeral Services comprises the "Finer Fellows” you thought you might never find.

Our Hilldene Funeral Home has been established since the 1980s and is housed in the former church hall of St George's Church, which is located next door, at the top of the local Farnham Road Shopping Centre.

There is meeting space here to meet ministers and celebrants if needed, and our chapels of rest.

There is a washroom facility for family wanting to help wash and dress (not in use at present due to Covid social distancing needs).

There is a space for meeting with other family members before going onto a funeral.

Colleagues Julie Jones and Stacey Johnson have a wealth of experience in local funeral arrangements, including with our local churches and temples, and are supported by expert stonemason consultant Graham Walker.
