About Us
Stoneman Funeral Service purchased Sherlock and Sons Funeral Directors in Dorking in 2010. An established family business that has been serving the Community of Dorking for over 100 years. The two families now work closely together to provide a quality service to bereaved families in their time of need.
Sherlock Funeral Service believe that your loved one’s funeral should be individual to them, and they offer a wide choice of services which can be tailored to suit the needs, wishes and requirements of each bereaved family they serve.
They can support you through every aspect of planning and arranging a funeral, as well as guiding you through a range of memorial options to help preserve the memory of your loved one.
Whether your loved one wanted a traditional religious funeral or a contemporary celebration of life, Sherlock Funeral Service can help you plan the perfect farewell. You can choose from a range of coffins, including traditional hardwood, cardboard, wicker and bespoke designs. They also have a fleet of Jaguar hearses and limousines with matching number plates, which along with immaculate premises, staff and caring funeral directors make Sherlock Funeral Service a trusted provider of funerals in the Dorking area.
They are members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the National Society for Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), as well as the National Association of Memorial Masons.

What Families Say
AI SummaryFamilies frequently mention the care and compassion shown by staff throughout arrangements and on the funeral day itself, describing how they felt supported and guided rather than rushed through the process. Many note that communication was clear and responsive, with staff available to answer questions and address concerns promptly, which helped ease the stress of organising a funeral during grief. Several families highlight how particular details were handled thoughtfully—from liaising with celebrants, florists and crematoriums to small gestures of consideration—and how nothing felt too much trouble, with staff going beyond what was expected to help families achieve the funeral they wanted.
