You can choose from a range of coffins, including traditional hardwood, cardboard, wicker and bespoke designs. They also have a fleet of Jaguar hearses and limousines with matching number plates, which along with immaculate premises, staff and caring funeral directors make Sherlock Funeral Service a trusted provider of funerals in the Dorking area.

    What lovely people who work for Sherlock's. It couldn't have been more fitting for my father.

  • 5 Leslie Holloway 21st May 2023

    My family have used Sherlock's for more years than I care to remember, and they have always provided a superb, efficient and caring service. Christine's funeral was no different and knowing that all the details would be dealt with in such a professional and compassionate way relieved us of much of the anxiety at a very stressful time. My Family and I really cannot thank them enough.

  • 4 nicola hamer 7th Feb 2023

    Overall the service was good, however some communication of possible video providers was overlooked.
    Also we ended up having to transport the coffin flowers from the crematorium to the church ourselves at the last minute.
    We did miss not having Clive.
