    About Mears & Cotterill Funeral Directors

    Mears & Cotterill Funeral Directors has been serving families in Wandsworth since 1985.

    The team at our Wandsworth funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. We have our own service venue at both our funeral homes.

    Here at Mears & Cotterill Funeral Directors we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.

    As a mother of five and grandmother of ten, I dedicated most of my life to raising my children and grandchildren, maintaining my focus on my family.

    In doing so, I found a passion for event organising, including charity and non-profit events, religious and family occasions and parties that catered to specific requirements.
    Raising a family wasn’t all parties and I was no stranger to the heartache of losing loved ones. Its these personal experiences that drew me to join Cruse 18 years ago as a bereavement counsellor and I very quickly realised that this was something that came naturally to me.

    Drawing on my passion for organising, empathetic nature and family-orientation, I feel that in my role as a Funeral Arranger I was doing something that not only allowed me to support individuals and families when they need it, but also to reach out to my community raising money and more importantly an awareness for a number of groups and charities.

    Since becoming an ADM, I have carried my experience through and hopefully now can guide and nurture other arrangers and help them build up their branches and brands to be an essential part of the communities that they are in. Whilst ensuring our best practice is always at the forefront.
