    About Gillman Funeral Service

    At Gillman Funeral Service, we have been helping local families at one of the most difficult times since 1880. The business that became Gillman Funeral Service was founded by Mr Henry Ingram at Goldsworth Road.

    Gillman Funeral Service has been serving generations of families since 1920. We have branches in Balham, Battersea, Carshalton, Mitcham, Norbury and Tooting.  

    We are proud to serve the people in those communities of many different cultures and faiths, as well as those with no religious beliefs. 

    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. 

    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 Gillman Funeral Service 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.
