Surrey Funeral Photographer

This was a beautiful day at Clandon Wood Nature Reserve and Country Burial Ground in Guildford. At first glance you wouldn’t know that Clandon Wood was an award winning cemetery. Clandon Wood was originally designed as a nature reserve as well as a Natural Burial Ground and it truly is a beautiful place with graves scattered amongst the flowers, meadows, lake and trees. The site also hosts a glass Pavilion where ceremonies are held and this was the perfect venue for todays funeral. It was a pleasure to work with this gorgeous family and here are a few of their photo’s from the day.

Capturing Moments of Love and Remembrance in Nottinghamshire

In the quiet charm of Nottinghamshire, as a Funeral Photographer, I had the privilege of documenting a heartfelt Persian Funeral service. This journey began at the family home, where emotions were raw and memories were cherished. From there, we proceeded to the quaint church that held a special place in the hearts of all who gathered to celebrate a life well-lived. The final chapter unfolded at Beeston Cemetery Chapel, a peaceful resting place, where we bid our last goodbyes.

Honouring a Life

As a funeral photographer, I'm entrusted with the responsibility of preserving moments of love, connection, and remembrance. In Nottinghamshire, I had the opportunity to do just that for a family paying tribute to their loved one.

A Family United

After the service at Beeston Cemetery Chapel, we made our way to the graveside within the same cemetery. Here, amidst the quiet beauty of nature, family and friends gathered to bid their final farewell. It was a moment of solemnity and closure, where grief was palpable, and support from loved ones was invaluable.

Sweet Memories: Sharing Traditional Persian Delights After the Burial

After the burial had taken place, the family extended their warmth by sharing traditional Persian cakes and sweets with everyone present. A sweet and heartfelt gesture that added a touch of comfort and unity during this time of remembrance.

This Funeral took place at Pembroke Lodge in London followed by the Burial at Richmond Cemetery. For the day we were asked to provide the photography and Live Funeral Streaming as there were so many people unable to attend. The Funeral was organised by White Rose Modern Funerals and the Service was led by Hannah the Celebrant.

As a Funeral Photographer I capture funerals all over the UK covering so many different cultures. This was a Nigerian Funeral in Edgware, London covering 4 locations, so it was a really busy day. We started the day at the family home with a White Hearse arriving behind the Funeral Director. Once there everyone came out to see the coffin and the flowers. Then we made a very short journey back down the hill to St Sebastian and St Pancras Church where the funeral was held. It was a lovely service, the minister was amazing and once finished it was off to Alperton Cemetery for the burial. The Funeral director made his way through Alperton cemetery and once the Hearse had pulled alongside the graveside the burial was underway. The Minister said his final words and then those in attendance threw flowers into the grave and said their final goodbyes. Once the grave had been filled everyone joined in to decorate the grave with flowers and wreathes. Then the family requested some family shots around the graveside and once finished it was time for the Wake which was back at St Sebastian and St Pancras Church Hall. Here are a few of the images I captured on the day to give you an idea of the kind of things we do.

Mansfield Crematorium Funeral Photography by Shaun Foulds

It was a real privilege to photograph this funeral for a lovely lady who’s Father had recently passed away. The Funeral took place at Mansfield Crematorium in Nottinghamshire. Mansfield Crematorium is surrounded by a forest of Pine Trees, so the setting is very beautiful. The Funeral took place late afternoon, so the sun was getting ready to set and the light was dropping pretty fast. As family gathered outside the crematorium the Funeral Director and daughters of the deceased made their way up the drive walking in front of the Hearse. Family members carried the coffin into the service and then Drew Baxter the funeral celebrant led the service and shared family tributes throughout. Once the service had finished the family headed outside for a balloon release and then we finished with some family photos and some food at the pub just around the corner.

Thank you to the family for allowing me to share these images, It was an absolute privilege to travel up to Skipton to photograph Baby Oliver’s ceremony at Tarn Moor Memorial Woodlands. This was an incredible family who showed immense strength and love throughout the day. There was colouring, painting, stories and reflection as mum & dad shared their thoughts and memories of Oliver. Afterwards we all walked across to Tarn Moor Memorial Woodlands where some final words and readings were shared as his ashes were buried and a tree planted to mark the area.

It was an absolute privilege to film and photograph this funeral on behalf of this beautiful family. I started the day at St Paul’s Church in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. It was a really cold day, very windy and the rain was trying it’s absolute best to get going, but managed to hold itself whilst family and friends arrived. The ceremony and tributes were really moving and after the service finished we headed off to Icknield Way Cemetery for the burial. Everyone gathered around the grave for the final blessings and then people took it in turns to help back fill the grave whilst others sung gospel songs, which I always love listening too.

This was my first visit as a Funeral Photographer to South Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park. A beautiful and peaceful place and the perfect setting for this lovely ceremony in Oxfordshire. I was invited to capture this day as the family simply wanted it documenting, capturing the detail and to help remember everyone who attended. It was a lovely ceremony and once we’d finished at South Oxfordshire Crematorium & memorial Park, we headed off to the lovely Denman College for the Wake for jam Scones, cake, sandwiches and tea.

This was my first Visit as a Funeral Photographer at Chiltern’s Crematorium, Amersham in Buckinghamshire just a couple of days ago. The family booked me photograph the funeral due to relatives living in Malaysia being unable to travel and attend. It was a priviledge to work with Heritage & Sons Amersham Funeral Directors who were incredible on the day and an absolute pleasure to meet.

It was a privilege to film and photograph the memorial service for the family of Author and Novelist Andrea Levy at Golders Green Crematorium in London a couple of weeks ago. She led an amazing life and we were thrilled to capture all her tributes. Leverton & Sons Ltd were the funeral directors for the day and as always they did such a wonderful job.

It was a long journey to this beautiful part of the country for a Funeral in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. The family had asked us to cover both video and Photography for the whole day. This included the Hearse arriving at the Family Home, the Church service, the burial at Clacton Cemetery and the Wake. It was a really busy day for me and my team (Roshni & Dave) with all the different locations and often very little time to pull our equipment down and set up again, whilst making sure we captured everything on behalf of the family. Luckily the weather was on our side with nice blue sky’s which was especially good when we were outside for the Burial at Clacton Cemetery. So here are a few photos of the day, with the aim of giving you an idea for what we do. A huge thank you to the family for inviting us and making us feel so welcome on the day.

This particular funeral was a Hindu Funeral, which was very beautiful and it took place at Thorncliffe Cemetery and Crematorium in Barrow-in-Furness. Cumbria. The day started at the Co-op Barrow Funeral Care to film the family arriving and the horse and Carriage as it left. Then it was on to Thorncliffe Crematorium for the ceremony. As is custom, this was an open coffin funeral with a lovely Hindu ceremony involving lots of flowers, butter and other traditions. The care and preparation was incredible, truly beautiful to watch and record on behalf of the family and was probably one of the most intricate ceremonies I have had the privilege to attend. This was followed by the wake which took place at the Chetwynde Hotel
