Funerals the Poppy’s way
A fresh approach to funerals
Poppy’s is an independent funeral directors with a fresh approach to funerals
We were founded in 2012 by Poppy Mardall, driven by the belief that funerals could and should be better. Instead of a rigid approach, we listen to what a client wants and needs. Together, we craft the funeral that works for you. We are a responsible business that cares for people and planet, and the only certified B Corp funeral directors in London.
Choosing the funeral service that’s right for you
We arrange all kinds of funerals, including:
• Traditional burials and cremations with a fully personalised religious or non-religious service
• A lower-cost simple cremation with a service at Lambeth Crematorium in Wandsworth
• Direct cremations and burials without a funeral service
• Natural and woodland burials
• Funeral services in alternative venues, followed by burial or cremation
“Poppy’s funerals have been sensitive, empathetic, and kind. The whole team’s positive and loving attitude just shines through and you feel totally supported as a human being at every step of your journey. They understand that everyone is different and they facilitate your approach to your loved one’s funeral. They completely ‘get’ that people want to say goodbye in a manner befitting the individual who has died.”

The Poppy’s approach
can also help you explore your choices for your own funeral.
There’s no need to rush, you can take your time
Apart from registering the death, everything else can wait until you’re ready. Take your time choosing a funeral director that is the right fit for you.
We believe there’s no ‘right way’ to organise a funeral
Funeral directors don’t know best, families and friends do. There are endless beautiful choices for hearses, coffins, flowers and more – we’ll guide you to find what’s right for you.
We offer free, 45-minute consultations to assist with planning your own funeral – in person, online or on the phone. You’ll meet with one of our caring team to talk about what matters to you. That could include whether you’d like to be buried or cremated; whether you want a religious or secular send-off; and service choices such as music, readings, flowers or coffin choices. You’ll go away with a document that can be shared with family and friends.
We believe in gentle death care
We care for people in our peaceful lightfilled mortuary in Lambeth Cemetery, Tooting. We take a natural approach to looking after people – making sure they are clean, dry and cool. Our team treats everyone in our care with dignity and respect, and we always refer to people by their first names.
Funerals don’t have to be expensive
You can shop around. Make sure you’re not sold products and services you don’t need. Some meaningful and memorable choices cost very little.
