About Us

    About Pinks Funeral Directors

    Pinks Funeral Directors has been serving families in Hamsey Green and the South Croydon community since 2001.

    The teams at our Hamsey Green and Caterham funeral homes will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. We have our own service venue.

    Pinks Funeral Directors has returned to Caterham after a 10-year absence, opening our new branch in the Raglan Precinct in 2025.

    Here at Pinks Funeral Directors we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
