About T W Boorman Funeral Services

The team at our Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells 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. Our Tonbridge funeral home has its own service venue.

Here at T W Boorman Funeral Services we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.

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.
