From my first telephone conversation with Chris I felt a huge sense of comfort. Every detail was dealt with such compassion, reassurance and empathy. Chris went above and beyond and explained the whole process to us. Chris was always on the other end of the phone, I don’t think we even spoke to anyone else which made the whole experience with Freedom Funerals more personal and straight forward. The Funeral was handled with great care with professional support throughout. Those present were full of complimentary comments. Thank you so much from start to finish. Chris you are a true asset to Freedom Funerals. Thanks again

I couldn’t have asked for a better company to help with my dad’s funeral. This has been the hardest thing I’ve had to cope with, but Chris and his team have made everything so easy for us and they really are a bunch of angels. Always made sure I was okay, and we’re so respectful throughout.

About Us
Funeral director Lee Jaschok and his friendly team are on call day and night, to support people in Colchester community and wider area, when somebody dies.
They believe that families should be able to arrange the funeral they really want, from a simple traditional service to a bespoke ceremony that reflects how someone lived their life.
A member of the Association of Green Funeral Directors, this considerate Colchester funeral home can tailor a woodland burial for your loved one, or a full traditional funeral, listening to families from the moment they first call and providing sympathetic support and advice.
It’s important to Lee and his team that families have the freedom to choose options that also suit their budget. This Essex funeral home believes in clear pricing with no hidden costs and respectful consideration of every family they serve. Payment plans are also available.
Freedom Funerals provides a wealth of funeral choices to help families personalise their loved one’s funeral, from Cadillac and campervan hearses, to coffins with meaningful motifs.
For people planning ahead, the Colchester funeral home provides a free Funeral Wishes service, while bereaved families can take their time to decide upon memorial masonry, remembrance jewellery and plaques available. For families who live further away, this funeral home can also provide a headstone cleaning and maintenance service.
Call Freedom Funerals for sympathetic care and practical support in arranging a meaningful funeral for your loved one.
