Lee and his staff were extremely supportive from start to finish. very professional and understanding. They took their time in explaining things and listening to what you want and did not try to sell anything that was not needed. They were the only funeral place that did not try to get any money from you before even meeting them . Well done Lee and staff and thankyou .

The reason for giving freedom funerals a five star is the personal touch that Lee gave to us as a family, it was exceptional.Lee explained everything from start to finish what stood out was his honesty and nothing we asked for was ever to much for him to help us with. So from myself and the family we would like to thank Lee and his team very much for their help and support through the duration of planning my sister Catrionas funeral. Regards Martha Liam & Roger

About Us
Funeral director Lee Jaschok and his friendly team are on call day and night, to support people in Colchester community and wider area, when somebody dies.
They believe that families should be able to arrange the funeral they really want, from a simple traditional service to a bespoke ceremony that reflects how someone lived their life.
A member of the Association of Green Funeral Directors, this considerate Colchester funeral home can tailor a woodland burial for your loved one, or a full traditional funeral, listening to families from the moment they first call and providing sympathetic support and advice.
It’s important to Lee and his team that families have the freedom to choose options that also suit their budget. This Essex funeral home believes in clear pricing with no hidden costs and respectful consideration of every family they serve. Payment plans are also available.
Freedom Funerals provides a wealth of funeral choices to help families personalise their loved one’s funeral, from Cadillac and campervan hearses, to coffins with meaningful motifs.
For people planning ahead, the Colchester funeral home provides a free Funeral Wishes service, while bereaved families can take their time to decide upon memorial masonry, remembrance jewellery and plaques available. For families who live further away, this funeral home can also provide a headstone cleaning and maintenance service.
Call Freedom Funerals for sympathetic care and practical support in arranging a meaningful funeral for your loved one.
