W A Truelove & Son Ltd has served families across Surrey and south London since 1885, making it one of the area's longest-established independent, family-run funeral directors, and it remains privately owned and staff-managed rather than belonging to any corporate chain. The Caterham branch is one of 18 offices the company operates across the region, including Ashtead, Banstead, Cheam, Dorking, Morden and Wallington, all coordinated from its head office on Carshalton Road in Sutton.
Alongside traditional and direct cremation funerals, the firm offers embalming, repatriation, and pre-paid funeral plans, and also trades as a monumental mason, providing memorial design, engraving and restoration. Families are further supported with written guidance on practical matters such as registering a death.
The firm is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors, Selected Independent Funeral Homes, the British Institute of Funeral Directors, the National Association of Memorial Masons and the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons, reflecting its commitment to professional standards, and it was nominated for a Good Funeral Award in 2023.
