Godalming Funeral Service was established in 2022 under the guidance of Senior Funeral Director Paul Weightman, who joined the Funeral Partners family and oversaw the restoration of a former funeral home in Godalming, Surrey. With over 40 years of experience in the funeral profession, Paul has helped thousands of families, serving clients and their loved ones with empathy, respect, and exemplary standards of care. In 2023, Paul's son Anghus Weightman — a respected funeral director in his own right — joined the team, bringing a strong family ethos to the business.
Located at Meadow Croft, Bridge Road, Godalming, the team is committed to creating tailored funerals that reflect the unique life of each individual. They offer a comprehensive range of services including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, and repatriation. The team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by telephone, and can also arrange home visits for those who prefer to discuss funeral arrangements in familiar surroundings.
Godalming Funeral Service also offers the Choice prepaid funeral plan, allowing families to arrange and pay for a funeral in advance, protecting loved ones from rising costs and uncertainty. As part of Funeral Partners Limited, the branch combines local, personal care with the support and resources of one of the UK's leading funeral service providers.
"Paul, in particular, stood out with his exceptional guidance and compassion. From the initial consultation to the final arrangements, Paul was there every step of the way, providing clear information and sensitive advice. His empathy and professionalism made a world of difference."
— Natalie McIvor (about Paul)
"During our discussions about the service and a lengthy tribute about our mum, Paul offered advice which was helpful, entirely appropriate and he was able to smooth the way forward. About 4 days before the service it was decided to have it livestreamed — this was organised very quickly so people who were not able to travel could participate. We very much appreciate this."
— Matthew Fry (about Paul)
"Paul, Angus and Christine were incredible during the passing of our mother. They regularly updated us on the arrangements. They were all very caring and easy to talk to. They made this process easier for me and the family. They were all outstanding."
— neil duncton (about Paul)
"We had had a dreadful experience elsewhere and Paul was able to help us remove and accept my late husband from there. After that nothing appeared to be too much trouble. The cremation service was organised so quietly and professionally, in the way we wanted and with such a gentle touch."
— Sue Wilson (about Paul)
"It felt like a 'marriage' from that first meeting — a genuine sense of trust and reassurance. Nothing felt rushed, and discussions about cost were handled with sensitivity and practical, honest advice, making what could have been awkward feel completely manageable. True to their 24/7 promise, we felt fully supported at every stage and that nothing was unachievable."
— Susan Whiting (about Paul)
"Within a minute of meeting Paul at GFS I was certain that my mum would be in safe hands. Sitting in their office felt rather daunting but immediately Paul simply spoke my language. No ambiguity, a fantastic reassuring manner where he distilled what mattered and what doesn't need to matter. These guys simply allowed us to think about our role in the passing of our mum rather than getting overly anxious. The service itself was a thing of joy, truly."
— David Johnston (about Paul)

Wonderful, helpful, compassionate help. We had had a dreadful experience elsewhere and Paul was able to help us remove and accept my late husband from there. After that nothing appeared to be too much trouble and the service sheets were proofed and beautifully printed in very short order. The cremation service was organised so quietly and professionally, in the way we wanted and with such a gentle touch. Thankyou

My family have known Paul Weightman for many years from his time at another Funeral Service provider and when he left there and started with this service there was no hesitation to switch our allegiance to you. Paul is a very professional, sympathetic and caring individual and is perfectly suited to the role. During our discussions about the service and a lengthy tribute about our mum, he offered advice which was helpful, entirely appropriate and he was able to smooth the way forward so that we were able to read what ended up being a 17 minute tribute. In addition, some the grandchildren spoke at the service. About 4 days before the service it was decided to have it livestreamed. This was organised very quickly and so people who were not able to travel to the service, could participate in it. WE very much appreciate this. We will continue to use Paul, Angus and the team when we need their services again. Thank you Paul for all for your care and kindness to us. 22/7/26

When my mum passed away last month her funeral plan brought use to Godalming funeral services. From our first contact through to her cremation the team has been amazing. During such a difficult time for my family they guided us through every decision with such grace. I cannot thank Paul enough for the attention to detail he & the team showed whilst arranging everything we asked of them

I cant thank Paul and his team at Godalming Funeral Services enough for the kind, understanding and efficient way they handled my mothers funeral service. Paul guided us through the planning process with sensitivity and some useful suggestions He liaised efficiently and effectively with all the other parties eg newspapers, florist, printers and kept us fully informed throughout. On the day he and his team ensured everything ran smoothly, they were a discreet and reassuring presence. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

It seemed an obvious choice to approach Godalming FS to provide a funeral plan for my elderly mother in the knowledge of renown experience and local presence. My wife and I met with clear choices and guidance for a ‘Simple’ type Service, the time friendly and courteous with in depth explanations. We entered into a prepaid plan with peace of mind. Unexpectedly my mother passed away just this Spring and the Company immediately took over management of the ongoing processes with sensitivity and diligence . Their achievements throughout have been notable with a certain vision of service to meet our needs.
