Gillman Funeral Service was established in 1920 and has served families across South London for over a century, now trading as part of the Funeral Partners network of roughly 297 branches nationwide. The firm operates six branches — in Tooting, Balham, Battersea, Carshalton, Mitcham and Norbury — each staffed with dedicated local phone lines and 24/7 availability.
The team arranges cremations, burials, Hindu and Sikh faith funerals, green/woodland funerals, unattended cremation and repatriation, together with memorial masonry, coffin customisation, ashes urns and keepsakes, transport, floral tributes, orders of service, online funeral notices and probate assistance. Prepaid Choice Funeral Plans, provided through Alternative Planning Company Limited, allow families to arrange and pay in advance, and a published standardised price list gives transparent costs.
Gillman Funeral Service is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and features independent reviews through Much Loved. The firm emphasises flexible, listening-led support, offering home visits for initial consultations and describing its aim as 'creating tailored funerals that reflect the unique life' of each person served, with particular experience supporting South London's diverse faith communities.
