At Woking Funeral Service, we have been helping local families at one of the most difficult times since 1880. The business that became Woking Funeral Service was founded by Mr Henry Ingram at Goldsworth Road.
Founded by Mr Henry Ingram at Goldsworth Road in 1880, Woking Funeral Service is the longest-established funeral directors in Woking. We bring empathy and experience to support you in planning your loved one’s funeral and fulfilling your wishes to the best of our ability.

We have a close working relationship with the Shah Jahan Mosque at Woking which helps us to provide tailored support in planning a Muslim funeral. Both of our branches provide accessible Chapels of Rest, and at Woking we can provide a multi-faith wash facility.
Our experienced and caring staff will advise and support you at every stage of the funeral planning process, with a wide range of funeral options and transparent pricing.
Here at Woking Funeral Service we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.
