Tomalin & Son Funeral Directors is a long-established, family-run funeral business based in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. With roots stretching back many generations, the business has been managed by the Jones family since 1952, when Alan Anderson Jones purchased it from Mr Tomalin. Now in its third generation of family ownership, the business is run by Bruce and Claire Jones, who bring decades of combined experience and a deeply personal approach to every funeral they arrange.
Located at Anderson House, 38 Reading Road, Tomalin & Son offers a comprehensive and tailored service designed to reflect the individual personality of the deceased, as well as the wishes and requirements of their family.

They also assist with coffins, hearses, horse-drawn carriages, receptions, wakes, ashes, and funeral stationery.

Their offices in Reading Road are purpose-built and feature ample on-site parking for the convenience of clients.
