About us
A family-led practice, rooted in our community.
Angel Funeral of Surrey was founded with one purpose - to care for every family the way we would want our own to be cared for.
Mayank Bhatt
Founder & Funeral Director
Meet Mayank Bhatt
Personally involved with every family we serve.
Mayank Bhatt founded Angel Funeral of Surrey because he believed families deserved better than the impersonal, corporate funeral services that had become commonplace.
Every funeral that we arrange has Mayank's personal attention - from the first phone call through to the day itself, and the weeks of practical support that follow. He is the one who will meet you. He is the one who will be present on the day.
Coming from the diverse community of South London, Mayank is deeply familiar with the customs of many faiths and cultures. He approaches every family the same way - by asking, listening, and following their lead.
Our values
Three principles. Held closely.
Dignity
Every person in our care receives the respect we would want for our own family. There are no exceptions.
Compassion
We meet families in their grief without rushing, without judgement and without a script. We listen first.
Care
Every detail matters - the way a coffin is carried, the words on an order of service, the way a room is arranged. We notice. So do families.
Our home on London Road.
Our premises in Thornton Heath include a private chapel of rest, a meeting room where families can sit and plan in peace, and the facilities required for the rituals of many faiths - including ghusl, prayers and viewing.
You are welcome to visit by appointment.

No call centre. No middle layer. The person who answers is the person who will arrange the funeral.
We understand many traditions
Croydon is one of the most diverse parts of London. We have served Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Bahá'í and humanist families.

Bereavement does not keep office hours. Our line is answered, day or night.
