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.

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 such a privilege to be asked to photograph Allan’s Funeral on behalf of his family a couple of weeks ago at St Mary Magdalen Church in Petersfield, Hampshire. It was a lovely celebration of Allan’s Life, the black horse and carriage were the perfect touch as he made his final journey to the church and Rams Hill Cemetery.

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 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.

Today I was at Grenoside Crematorium in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in what felt like a warm spring day. This was my first visit here, so a new Crematorium for me. After a quick chat with the friendly team I was ready and set up for Ethan’s Funeral. There was a festival theme the the ceremony with everyone wearing bright colourful clothing and viking helmets to celebrate his life. There was music, dancing and some amazing tributes to this young mans life. An absolute privilege to be there as a Funeral Videographer to capture this event. Thank you to the whole family for having me.

“Mrs P” recently passed away but earlier in her life she was a dispatch driver in World War ll where she was responsible for delivering important messages and no doubt encountering plenty of danger along the way. After the war she continued with her fascination and love of motorbikes, so it was fitting that her coffin arrived on a stunning full length Trike hearse. Brilliant!!
