It’s about giving people choice and the opportunity to celebrate the end of a life exactly how they want to.

At Exit Here we understand that grief can be overwhelming, and it may feel hard knowing where to start. We’re available for you round the clock, guiding you through every step of the funeral process offering compassion, advice and support.

When someone dies, we’re here to help 24/7.

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Exit Here. They are as far removed from the traditional high street funeral directors as it is possible to imagine. Instead of gloom and hushed tones, both Sam and Oliver greet you with warmth and smiles. They take time to learn about your family and to help you realise your vision for the funeral. For us, that was a glorious and joyful celebration.

“Our hand was held every step of the way and no matter what we wanted, they found a way to sort it and to help us create a truly unique farewell. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, no matter how many times I popped in, there was an offer of tea and someone to listen. It's a great team, a fantastic service and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

How to Have an Affordable Funeral in London

With the rising cost of living, many people are concerned about the affordability of funerals in 2023 - especially in London which has the highest average funeral cost in the UK. However, an expensive funeral doesn’t necessarily mean a better funeral - we can help you create a beautiful, dignified, and personalised ceremony regardless of your budget.

  • “I would like to say that both Sam and Oliver made a very emotional time for me and my family extremely easy. Their professionalism, knowledge and reassurance gave me great peace of mind. The service was wonderful and the special touches, the wicker casket, the beautiful flowers and the accordion player were all perfect. The reception was perfect too, with lovely food and staff.”

    — Mel Haynes

  • “During what is always a highly sensitive and emotional time, Sam really went above and beyond to be as supportive, helpful, understanding and kind as possible. She made the entire process totally stress free and easy in both the planning stage and on the day of the actual funeral. I really couldn’t be more grateful for finding Exit Here they are truly, truly fantastic!!”

    — Giorgina Bright

  • I could not have wished for anything better. Oliver and Sam at Exit Here combined a wonderful mix of sympathy, empathy, efficiency, attention to detail and came up with suggestions of things that just would not have occurred to me. Thanks to them, everything at St Peter's and then at Mortlake Crematorium the following day went as smoothly as could be. The cardboard coffin, the design of the Mexican Day of the Dead, was brilliant.”

    — Rosemary George

  • “I'd passed by the Exit Here funeral home in Chiswick on many occasions. They have revolutionised the whole experience of funeral directors and made the process totally sympathetic to our wishes, whilst being highly professional. From the moment they are contacted, everything is discussed and considered. All the practicalities, from the death certificate to the order of service booklets, to burial and collection of ashes, are all dealt with.”

    — Stephanie Griffiths

  • “We used Exit Here for my mum's funeral and burial. Sam, Oliver and the team were lovely to deal with: very sympathetic, helpful and professional. They handled everything with grace and empathy. Every detail was considered, and they were a great support to our family at a difficult time. Would highly recommend.”

    — Jemimia Gibbons

  • “From the moment we stepped through the door at Exit Here, we knew that this was the Funeral Directors that we wanted to look after our darling Dad. The place is bright and welcoming, which immediately made us feel at ease at such a difficult and stressful time. This was very important to us as we knew that there would be many visits by all of our family to see Dad, including younger members of the family. We had visited other funeral homes locally, but nothing compared on any level. If we could have given 10 stars we would.”

    — Lynn Slade

  • “We can’t thank Exit Here enough for all the support care and attention they gave us during the organising of my sister’s funeral service. Professional at all times and nothing was too much to ask for, they dealt with everything for us including all the after service arrangements, Sam dressed and made my sister look amazing, both Sam and Oliver were very caring and made us feel at ease at such a difficult time. Sam was immaculate on the day of the funeral and everything was coordinated to perfection.”

    — Darren Little

  • “I wanted to veer away from the traditional when organising my dad’s funeral and I approached Exit Here ahead of his passing. The head office is like a clubhouse – simple, modern, really beautiful, the opposite of the traditional high street funeral home – and I immediately felt relaxed. Sam and Oliver were approachable, kind, and really curious about Dad – and from those initial conversations, we were able to build a completely personalised funeral that really celebrated his life.”

    — Dan Jones

  • “Everything turned out better than I had hoped: the casket was really stunning, the crematorium was lovely, the flowers were more personalised than I thought they could be, the celebrant was a star turn, Dad’s favourite jazz band played, and Sam and Oliver’s suggestions of how to include personal touches really made the day. The gathering had the BEST food and drink (including Dad’s favourite snack, Golden Syrup sandwiches). It was all so joyful and I ended the day feeling like we’d thrown a fantastic event and really did Dad proud. I'll always be thankful for how supportive and encouraging Exit Here are.”

    — Dan Jones

  • “We had to arrange a funeral for my father and we had been recommended Exit Here by a family friend. To say that we were happy with everything from the moment we went to see them until the funeral was over would be a huge understatement. They were so helpful and professional and cannot say enough about the staff especially Sam who helped and guided us from the start. I would recommend Exit Here to anyone they made a difficult day so smooth and in many ways enjoyable.”
