Lee provided exactly the service I wanted for my wife. Most funeral directors would have given me a supermarket pick last. I was so pleased he listened and delivered perfectly, the service we requested. A big thank you from my family!!

Lee of Freedom funerals provided us with a professional and compassionate service which helped massively in a difficult time.My husband of 32 years died very suddenly and totally unexpectedly at the age of 60. Lee helped us to have the funeral service that was absolutely perfect for my husband. I do not think we could have found anyone better to help us give John the exact send off we his family wanted.

Thank you so much for your compassion and support in arranging my Dad’s funeral. We live 140 miles away from where the funeral was taking place and we were so lucky to come across the services of Freedom Funerals. Lee was professional, understanding, friendly and gave me all the information I needed that put my mind at rest at this very difficult time. We met Lee again a few days later to make the arrangements. Once again, he put us at ease and emphasised there was no rush. We ordered the coffin, discussed the service and chose the music. Lee conducted the service, it was a wonderful celebration and a send-off beautifully organised and carried out. Just how we wanted it. Lee has been fantastic and we can’t recommend Freedom Funerals highly enough. Thank you for making everything feel so right on the day. Click here to start Chat

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.
