W Sherry & Sons Funeral Directors has been serving the local community since 1850, making it one of the most established funeral directors in West London. The Greenford branch, located at 317 Ruislip Road East, is part of a nine-branch network led by the sixth and seventh generations of the Sherry family, Neil and Brooke Sherry, who currently serve as Business Principals. The company is a founder member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and is the appointed funeral director for several London Boroughs including Ealing, Hillingdon, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hounslow, Harrow, Westminster, and Kensington & Chelsea.
The Greenford branch offers a comprehensive range of funeral services, including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, and repatriation. Additional services include memorial masonry, a coffin range, floral tributes, orders of service, and prepaid funeral plans. The team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can also visit clients at home to discuss arrangements.
W Sherry & Sons prides itself on being deeply rooted in the local community, supporting local charities and organisations, and providing compassionate, professional care to families during their most difficult times. Part of the Funeral Partners group, the branch combines the heritage of a long-established family business with the resources and support of a wider network.
"Having arranged the burial of both my parents and now my brother, all my wishes were met with dignity and respect. The team showed compassion, gave support and showed the utmost respect."

"Ida's approach, although respectful, was not stiff or distant. Having had no previous experience of close family bereavement, I cannot speak highly enough of her in guiding us through the whole process."
— Gordon Phillips (about Ida)
"This is the first review I have ever written. I have reflected as time has passed since the funeral on how much Ida helped me through a tough time. I just wanted to say a big Thank you."
— Aftab L (Af) (about Ida)
"Ida is a very special lady - I hope you know this. She made my mum look beautiful in the casket and our mothers funeral was completely stress free because of her. Brilliant Team."
— Jannette Bruno (about Ida)
"Loretta made it a perfect experience and something that will stay with me for ever - for the right reasons. Thank you both Ida and Loretta, from the bottom of my heart."
— Helen McLean (about Loretta)
"She's one of a kind with a heart of gold.. from the very first phone call she set our minds at ease. My daughter has complex needs and I was worried about how she would cope but Ida talked her through everything and made her feel a part of the whole funeral process. We have also gained a life long friend. Forever grateful."

I would like to say a huge thank you to Ida and to Loretta. They were both excellent, warm, friendly and very professional. Ida was on the end of the phone for all my questions.. Loretta was too, she was my main point of contact for coming into see my loved one before the funeral. She made it a perfect experience and something that will stay with me for ever - for the right reasons. On the day the funeral was perfect too. Thank you both Ida and Loretta, from the bottom of my heart.

This is the first funeral I have been involved in organising. Ida Anderson was very helpful and understanding in guiding me through the process when I had no idea what I was doing.

Ida at the Greenford Branch was compassionate and kind at a very sad and difficult time for me. She knew her stuff and made recommendations that were helpful and appropriate. Several mourners at the service for dad commented on what a "nice" funeral it had been.
