Southall Funeral Service is an established, independent, family-run funeral directors located at 70 Western Road, Southall, West London. Founded in October 1982, the business has grown across three generations of the Tiney family — beginning with John and Jennifer Tiney, continuing with their son Michael, and now extending to Ben Tiney — making it the only family-owned funeral directors in Southall with over 40 years of trusted local service.
The team is committed to providing compassionate, personal, and dignified care to every family they serve, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Southall Funeral Service is a proud member of both NAFD and SAIF, adhering to strict codes of professional practice and undergoing regular inspections to maintain the highest standards.
Their services include a range of funeral transport options, from a modern fleet of Jaguar XJ and XF hearses and limousines to a traditional horse-drawn hearse service with 2, 4, or 6 horses. They also offer UK and international repatriation, green funerals, embalming, and a wide selection of memorial products. In recognition of their excellence, they were runners-up in the Best Traditional Funeral Directors awards by The Good Funeral Guide in 2017 and received the Most Compassionate Funeral Director (West London) award at the Greater London Enterprise Awards in 2019.
"They just seem to know what we needed at every step of the way. It's true what they say - they really do look after you when you need them most."
— Charlie McClelland
"His knowledge about Indian funeral rituals, maturity, dedication, depth and all round manner was exactly what I needed. From every interaction and step of the process, the level of real care and respect is clear from every single member of staff involved."
— Krishan Chavda (about Ben)
"Having taken over a funeral that was being badly managed elsewhere the transition was so smooth and the team kept in constant communication and remained totally transparent. A big thank you to Peter and Michael - there was genuinely nothing more you could have done to be more helpful and we will all be eternally grateful."
— Harj Grewal (about Peter, Michael)
"What touched us more was the compassion to the situation with very little/no pressure of making payment. They had undertaken so much work on our behalf without even having taken a deposit. No request felt like it was 'too much' or 'not possible'. They made it happen."
— P Kaur (about Ben)
"Ben has gone beyond the extra mile to ensure our family gave our dad the best send off. We could not have navigated through the arrangements if it had not been for Ben. A very very BIG heartfelt thank you from The Dhanoa Family."
— Gi Dhanoa (about Ben)
"When we left our dad with him for the first time to collect him from hospital he said he would look after him and I felt as though he really meant it... Thank you for looking after not just our Dad, but all of us as a family and treating us like a member of your own family. Those acts of kindness and compassion leave a lasting effect on grieving loved ones and you've all certainly left an imprint in our hearts."
— Valency Rodrigues (about Ben)
