I cannot speak highly enough of Edward Brunskill. From the beginning he was professional and took all the stress of my mums funeral away from me and my family. He visited us at home to discuss our preferences and guided us on the celebrant we used, Martin Shaw, who was also perfect. He organised flowers which were beautiful and was always at the end of the phone if I had a question. I would definitely recommend him and his associates

Michelle Sears 27th Dec 2019

A great professional independent company, after my Father passed away suddenly Ed & Julie (celebrant) both visited my Mother at home where she was made to feel at ease. Everything was arranged from home until the day of the funeral. Ed arrived on the morning & everything was carried out as asked even small detailed items. My Mother said it was perfect and had requested we use Edward Brunskills Services again for herself. Thank you from all the Family x

About Us

After a twenty-five year career managing several funeral homes across London, Edward Brunskill Dip. FD opened Brunskill Family Funerals, with his son, Joshua, so that he can focus on working with and caring for bereaved families.

Respect for the person that has died and attention to detail are their priorities and Ed and Joshua are committed to arranging traditional and modern burials and cremations, for all budgets, that reflect the beliefs and customs of your loved one.

Religious funerals of any faith and denomination, and non-religious and humanist services can be arranged. If a non-attended funeral is preferred then Ed and Joshua are also happy to organise direct cremations.

Brunskill Family Funerals work in partnership with a skilled stonemason to oversee the installation and repair of headstones.

Ed and Joshua focus on arranging funerals in the boroughs of Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, and Hounslow, West and South West London, Surrey and surrounding counties, but can attend at any death in the UK.

Brunskill Family Funerals are members of the London Association of Funeral Directors (LAFD) and have signed the Fair Funerals Pledge. They pride themselves on transparency and compassion and are happy to discuss arrangements 24/7, 365 days a year.

To arrange a funeral with Brunskill Family Funerals please do not hesitate to call them.

  • 5 Mandy Lawrence 18th Dec 2019

    I would highly recommend Ed and his team, he took all the stress away at our time of grief after our Mum passed away. He was attentive, kind and the whole experience which was hard was made so much better because of Ed. My Mum's send-off was what we wanted and the day was made so special because of the attention to detail provided by this company. I will be forever grateful to Ed and the team.

    I can not thank Ed enough for his help and support throughout the whole process of organising my father's funeral.
    Would definitely recommend Brunskill family Funerals

  • 5 Katie Dryden 2nd Dec 2019

    I highly recommend Brunskill Family Funerals. From beginning to end they offered support and guidance. They have the perfect balance of professionalism and care. After my dad died it was so daunting, I have never planned a funeral before. He was an old rock n roller at heart and wanted his own songs played at the funeral. Ed managed to source them and had them ready and waiting at the crematorium to play. My dads favourite flowers were daffodils, not something that is easy to sourced in November! Again, Ed managed to find a florist who produced a beautiful arrangement for on top of his coffin. They truly go above and beyond the call of duty, I can't begin to thank them enough. 

  • 5 Vania Correia 29th Nov 2019

    From the 1st contact with Ed I felt that I wouldn't need to worry.
    I knew that I could trust him to take care of my sister's funeral. Ed was always in touch and everything went well - very professional.
    After the funeral he kept in touch, which I found very kind of him.
    I would 100% recommend their services.

  • 5 Clive Wordsworth 28th Sep 2019

    We could not fault anything about Ed and his associates.
    From first contact everything went smoothly.
    Would recommend Brunskill Family Funerals to anyone.
    The whole family were impressed.

  • 5 Dawn Rowen 10th Aug 2019

    Extremely happy with the service provided and the support from Edward during such an emotional time. Everything was perfectly arranged and so beautifully staged. As a family it allowed us to grieve free from the worry of all the arrangements.

  • 5 Hazel Westbury 27th Jun 2019

    Ed from Brunskill family funerals organised the funeral for Stuart Dodds, a much loved dad of Sarah, Laura, Jemma, Eric and close friend of Hazel and Pam, Ed and his team were fantastic, he conversed with family members from Newcastle and London, he was so very helpful, compassionate and professional at all times.
    Ed especially made you feel comforted and helped us through every single stage, it felt like he was holding our hands and feeling our pain, even after the funeral he checked on family members and enquired about how they were feeling.

    Thank you ED

  • 5 Tracey Players 25th Jun 2019

    With the help of Ed & Family, we had the perfect final chapter to our Grandads story. Even with their professionalism, they had a sense of empathy which had us at ease, making our hardest decisions easier. The communication could not have been better from start to finish. I can not fault them in any way. Thank you for all you did to help us make our final farewells as special as our Grandad deserved them to be.

  • 5 Veronica Whitehead 14th Jun 2019

    Ed went out of his way to help us at this difficult time. What a caring man he is. We highly recommend his Funeral Service and the professional way in which it is conducted. Nothing is too much trouble.

  • 5 Val Pickles 13th Jun 2019

    I would highly recommend Ed, he was highly professional and I couldn’t of asked for more. He handled everything and always kept me informed of the process. He was also very reasonable priced for the quality of service he offers. Would thoroughly recommend. 

  • 5 Andrea Childs 2nd Jun 2019

    Ed couldn't have been more supportive and considerate during the planning and delivery of my mother's funeral. He went out of his way to meet us at a place convenient for us, helped us to make arrangements quickly, and faultlessly and discreetly managed events on the day. Most of all, his kindness and thoughtfulness in the circumstances made a difficult time easier to bear.

  • 5 Julia Hunt 1st Jun 2019

    My father passed away recently in Surbiton, and even though I was organising the funeral from Dubai, Ed has been an amazing support throughout the whole process. Visiting my very elderly mum on several occasions he always showed her the utmost patience and was so kind and respectful to her - especially on the day of the funeral. He has the perfect balance of being totally professional but also kind and approachable - I feel I have made a friend. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.   I think an undertaker’s role when someone you love has passed away is crucial in those first few days and weeks - and Ed’s calm and organised manner meant I could focus on supporting my mum and grieving myself, knowing that I could trust Ed to take care of all the practical arrangements and that he would keep me up to date on everything. 

  • 5 Alison Stevenson 11th May 2019

    Brunskill Family Funerals provided a thoroughly professional service with great attention to detail and a very caring personal touch throughout. They listened carefully to what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. Everything on the day of my mother's funeral went very smoothly, and my father and all the family could focus on celebrating my mother's life rather than worrying about the arrangements, as we knew they had them all under control.

    I highly recommend them without hesitation.

  • 5 Vandana Rawal 30th Apr 2019

    Culturally sensitive and professional service throughout. We needed to arrange a Hindu funeral at a short notice and Ed Burnskill provided excellent support to sort out practicalities with all the professionals. They took very good care of our mum and the service was respectful, dignified and well organised. The whole team was helpful. Thank you. I would recommend this private funeral director.

    Ed Brunskill replied
    Dear Vandana, Thank-you for your review, it was a privilige to assist you and the family during your time of need. Kind Regards Edward Brunskill
  • 5 Sally Blackburn 28th Apr 2019

    Ed and his son Joshua are truly caring professionals ensuring that the needs of the whole family were met during this difficult time. They listened and provided a service with sincerity and dignity. We were extremely grateful of their support, suggestions and attention to detail.

    Ed Brunskill replied
    Dear Sally, Many thanks for your kind words of thanks, they are most appreciated, Kind Regards Edward & Joshua.
  • 5 Paramjit Mangat 26th Apr 2019

    Everything was carried out wonderfully. They showed great compassion,care and respect for the family members and my mother. They took great care with the smallest details including incorporating the music we selected, flower arrangements and everything else. Edward was very polite, understanding and considerate of the Sikh culture and was always there for any help and advice that we needed.

    Ed Brunskill replied
    Dear Paramjit, Many thanks for your kind words it means a lot to us, and we are grateful that we are able to use our experience to provide the funeral you wanted for your much loved Mother...Edward Brunskill
