Chandu Tailor and Son Ltd is a family-owned and run funeral directors based in New Southgate, London, specialising in Hindu and Sikh funerals for the Asian community. Originally established in 1993 under the name Indian Funeral Service by Chandu and Hansa Tailor, the business has proudly served London's Asian community for over ten years. Their son Jay joined the family business in 1999, and the company subsequently changed its name to Chandu Tailor and Son to reflect its family heritage and values.
The company specialises in Hindu and Sikh funerals, providing families with compassionate guidance in performing the final religious rites of passage. Their deep understanding of Asian funeral traditions ensures that families receive culturally sensitive and respectful care during their time of need.
Chandu Tailor and Son are proud members of SAIF (The Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors), demonstrating their commitment to professional standards and quality of service. They operate a 24-hour helpline, ensuring families can access support and guidance at any time.
"Chandu, Jay and Dee — a very special heartfelt thanks from all our family. You managed to make the process seamless and made us feel at ease, with no question or request being too much to ask. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
— Alpesh Tailor (about Chandu / Jay / Dee)
"You helped to ease the pain and despair of the final goodbye of our beloved father, grandfather, husband. Jay, your personal touches and personality we particularly appreciated — your communication, arrangements and calm approach was impeccable and seamless."
— Nass Gupta (about Jay)
"Jay guided us with a matter-of-fact, yet compassionate attitude. He confidently presented himself as an advocate for the family, stepping in and being a liaison between us and the NHS, the Coroner, and the Crematorium — even arranging to have the funeral service programs delivered directly from the printer to the parlour so we didn't have to go pick them up. Thank you Jay for making the process of dealing with a tragic situation as pain-free for our family as possible."
— Bret Isaacs (about Jay)
"In the last 13 years we have lost 5 members of our family. Chandu Tailor has arranged and conducted the final rites and ceremonies for each and every one of them — and I genuinely believe there is no one that does a better job. The levels of professionalism, respect and consideration of my family's wishes has been unrivalled. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for how he has looked after our family during our hardest times."
— Chris and Shefali Chittleborough (about Chandu / Jay)
"Jay was simply brilliant from start to finish — I would actually say too good to be true at such an emotional and stressful time. Nothing was too much; Jay would reply even late at night and weekends. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jay and everyone who helped give my Dad the wonderful and most respectful service he could have ever hoped for. You made our sad day that little bit easier."
— Vijay A (about Jay)
"In one of the most challenging times of my life, the passing of my beloved father, Chandu Tailor & Son Funeral Service stood as a beacon of compassion, professionalism, and unwavering support. From the very first moment we reached out, they enveloped us in a blanket of care that eased the burden of our grief. What stood out the most was their genuine caring attitude — it was clear they don't just view what they do as a service but as a calling to assist families during their most vulnerable moments. This heartfelt approach made all the difference, making us feel like we were part of their family rather than just clients."
— M P (Manish Patel) (about Jay / Chandubhai)
