Garner's Funeral Service Ltd has been supporting families across South West London and Surrey since 1982. Still proudly family-run, the business is now led by Howard Garner with support from his son, Daniel Garner, representing the third generation of the Garner family at the helm. The Kingston upon Thames branch is part of a network of four local branches, all committed to providing a truly personal and compassionate service to every family they serve.
The team offers a comprehensive range of funeral services, including cremations, burials, natural burials, direct cremations, and memorial masonry, all tailored to meet the individual needs and wishes of each family. Being a small, independent business allows Garner's to take the time to ensure that beliefs, traditions, and personal wishes are fully respected, supporting people of all faiths and backgrounds.
Garner's is a proud member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and adheres to their strict code of practice, giving families the confidence that they are in experienced and professional hands during one of life's most difficult times.
"The Funeral Director, David Oatham, could not have been more professional and caring in the way he handled all the necessary events."
— Adrian Gaunt (about David Oatham)
"The Funeral Arranger, Victoria Flick, with whom I dealt the most, was outstanding in the way she carefully took me through all the stages."

"Garners treated Dad with the utmost dignity and respect. Thank you for a beautiful send off and arranging his ongoing repatriation to his village in Cyprus."

"David paged the hearse down my Father's street where he lived for 56 years, to driving through his favourite place, Richmond Park, before going on to the Greek Orthodox church. This was just so very fitting for Dad's farewell and a very special moment for our family."

All the way from an initial call requesting their service through to the funeral itself, all the staff were respectful, courteous, empathic, and as helpful as possible with all aspects of the process. The Funeral Arranger, Victoria Flick, with whom I dealt the most, was outstanding in the way she carefully took me through all the stages. On the day, the Funeral Director, David Oatham, could not have been more professional and caring in the way he handled all the necessary events. Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend the company.

Dear Victoria and David We just wanted to say a very big thank you for the excellent service of yourselves and Garners for the care of our late Father. From all the arrangements during a very difficult time, to accommodating our wishes whereby David paged the hearse down my Father’s street where he lived for 56 years, to driving through his favourite place, Richmond Park, before going on to the Greek Orthodox church. This was just so very fitting for Dad’s farewell and a very special moment for our family. Garners treated Dad with the utmost dignity and respect. Thank you for a beautiful send off and arranging his ongoing repatriation to his village in Cyprus. Anna, Andrew, and all the family
