S. Carter & Son is an independent, family-run funeral director based on London Road, Wickford, with over 170 years of experience serving Essex families. The firm describes itself as firmly independent, which it says allows it to prioritise personal service over corporate process, and aims to respond to new enquiries within the hour, 24 hours a day.

Services include traditional and direct cremation, burial, and green and woodland funerals, supported by on-site chapels of rest where families can spend private time with their loved one. The business also offers pre-paid funeral plans, memorial jewellery, urns, dove releases, personalised orders of service, and limousines seating six to seven people, and permits family bearers to carry coffins with training provided beforehand.

S. Carter & Son operates with transparent, upfront pricing and no hidden fees, is an appointed representative of Ecclesiastical Planning Services for FCA-regulated pre-paid funeral plans, and follows Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management standards for cremations.
