Abbey Funeral Services Ltd

About Us

Abbey Funeral Services was founded in 1983 by husband and wife team, and former Presidents of the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), Jim and Chris Parker. Jo, the daughter of Chris & Jim, joined the company in 1993 and has been Managing Director since 2019.

This Funeral Home provides a wide range of funeral services to families in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and surrounding areas, from simple funerals, traditional burial and cremation services, green funerals including woodland burials and other environmentally conscious options. Their vehicle offerings include a selection of hearses and limousines, including horse-drawn hearses, motorcycle hearses and other, more personalised and bespoke transportation.

For anyone thinking ahead to the future, Abbey Funeral Services provides pre-paid Funeral Plans through Golden Charter, which are designed to cover the Funeral Director's costs and help contribute towards any third-party costs, such as crematorium fees and an officiant to lead the service.

Given our Mental Health is so important, aftercare is also made available, with Jo forming a community bereavement support program called ‘Friends Together’, which aims to assist families following a funeral. In addition to Funeral Directing and running the support group, Jo also runs Kent & Sussex Memorials, a monumental masonry company catering to the memorial needs of their families.

The family and their highly trained staff at Abbey Funeral Services are proud of their deep connection to the local community and offer services to high professional standards, in keeping with a strict industry Code of Practice.
