Our Services
We are pleased to be able to provide a wide range of services to suit each taste and budget, from simple and elegant to elaborate and unique. We cater for all denominations, faiths and religions, as well as non-religious and humanist ceremonies.
The Team
O’Dwyer Funeral Directors belongs to Don O’Dwyer who runs the business with the assistance of Anthea Barrett. They have built a close, efficient team with Claudette Foley, Stuart Meskill, Alex Hunt and Paul Graham. This is the team who will care for the person who has died and will look after you and your family throughout the planning and on the funeral day itself.
Associations
We are members of SAIF and one of the few proud overseas members of the Irish Association of Funeral Directors. We have signed the Quaker Social Action Extended Fair Funeral Pledge, and adhere to CMA regulations so consequently have our prices clearly displayed here.
What our families have to say
“O’ Dwyer’s customer service is second to none. The attention to detail and compassion given throughout was outstanding. I have attended many funerals where the undertakers were very cold and pressed for time, irritated and impatient. However, the warmth of the undertakers and service at O’Dwyers was outstanding. The Undertakers went above and beyond, for example, giving reassurance that the flowers would be correctly delivered to the correct location because my Aunt’s casket would be repatriated to Grenada after the ceremony. We are highly impressed at this remarkable firm for their kindness exuded, professionalism, expertise and efficiency at this very significant time for us.”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional care, empathy and support you provided during the funeral arrangements for our dear mother. Your professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made an incredibly challenging time more bearable for our family.
Your expertise and guidance throughout the entire process were truly invaluable. From the initial planning stages to the day of the funeral, you demonstrated a level of compassion and understanding that went beyond our expectations. Your commitment to creating a dignified and meaningful farewell for my mother was evident in every aspect of the service. The thoughtful touches and extra effort you put into personalizing the funeral ceremony were deeply appreciated, including helping us source an excellent Hindi spiritual priest in Dr Tanaji.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your commitment to your professionalism, and that of your whole team. We are truly grateful for the beautiful send-off you helped arrange for our dear mother.”
“I cannot express my gratitude enough to Anthea, Claudette, Don and all the staff at O’Dwyers for the service provided to myself and the family. From start to finish the empathy, compassion and sincerity shown to us at such a difficult time was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble, they gave my Mum the most beautiful send off and not a single detail was forgotten. We have had many compliments from family and friends. We will be forever grateful. ”
“We recently lost our brother Paul Carroll and had him repatriated home to Ireland. We couldn’t praise the service of Don and Claudette enough, in all of their interactions with us. They were compassionate, professional and completely reliable.
They communicated with us at all times throughout the process and attended to all our requests. Initially we had not thought to have a London vigil but are so pleased that we and his London friends got to say ‘Goodbye’ before we brought him home. We’d certainly recommend O’Dwyer’s. Thank you.”
