About Mears Family Funerals

Mears Family Funerals is an independent, family-owned funeral director serving the heart of Blackfen, Sidcup. With over 100 years of experience across four generations, the Mears family has provided compassionate cremation and burial services, monumental masonry, and international repatriation. We are proud to remain independent, unlike many local funeral directors now part of national chains, allowing us to deliver high-quality funerals with dignity and professionalism at competitive prices.

We also operate multiple branches, including Aylesbury, Beckenham, Biggin Hill, and other locations, ensuring families can access our trusted services locally. Our Blackfen branch conveniently located at 229 Blackfen Rd, offers a private arranging room, a chapel of rest, spacious service and reception areas, a dedicated community Zoom room, and modern mortuary and care facilities so families can feel confident their loved ones are cared for with respect and professionalism.

Meet the Team

I used the Orpington branch of Mears and from collection of my father to collection of his ashes care and compassion was taken.  Bonnie was so lovely throughout the process. The two people who collected him treated him like a friend. I highly recommend Mears. Thank you so much.
