Funeral Photographer in London
Funeral photography across London
I'm Darren, and I photograph funerals, memorials and celebrations of life all over London, from local parish churches to the city's large cemeteries. Many London families come together from across the country and around the world for a funeral, and photos are a way to keep that day, and everyone who was part of it, for the years ahead.
I cover the whole day if you'd like: arriving at the family home, the procession, the church service, the burial and the repast or wake afterwards. During the service I work quietly from the back or the side, with a silent camera and no flash, and I never pose anyone or interrupt a private moment.
London cemeteries, churches and venues
I'm happy to work anywhere in London, including cemeteries such as Highgate, Kensal Green, Brompton, the City of London Cemetery and East London Cemetery, as well as churches, chapels, community halls and family homes. Large funerals are no problem, and I can bring a second photographer when there's a lot to cover.
Simple, clear pricing
Funeral photography in London starts from £695, with travel, parking and ULEZ charges included, so there are no surprises. Edited, high-resolution photos are sent to you within 3 to 5 days, ready to download, share and print.
See more of my work on my main funeral photographer page. I can also live stream the funeral for family who can't travel.

How I work on a London funeral day
Before the day, we'll go through the timings, the addresses, and who and what matters most to you, plus anything you'd rather I didn't photograph. In London I always allow extra time for traffic and parking, so I'm in place well before the family and mourners arrive.
If the procession leaves from the family home, I photograph the departure, then travel ahead so I'm ready at the church for the arrival. During the service I stay at the back or the side, with a silent camera and no flash. At large London cemeteries, I follow the cortège to the graveside and keep a respectful distance during the committal.
At the repast or wake afterwards, I capture people together, sharing memories and comforting one another, which is often where the warmest photos of the day are taken. Within 3 to 5 days, you'll receive your edited, high-resolution photos, ready to download, share and print.
Hi Darren, I know my brother has responded to you but I also wanted to echo his compliments about your service and professionalism.
I too can honestly say that from our initial phone conversation you were very easy to speak to and gave off such a caring and understanding vibe. The time you took to explain in simplistic terms what to expect was so much appreciated, and I felt confident that as a family we were in safe hands. Thank you.
Funeral photography in London: your questions answered
Do you cover all of London?
Yes. I photograph funerals across all London boroughs, north, south, east and west, as well as the surrounding counties.
How much does a funeral photographer cost in London?
Funeral photography in London starts from £695, including travel, parking and ULEZ charges, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay. Coverage of extra locations, such as the burial or repast, is quoted on request.
Can you photograph a large funeral?
Yes. Large funerals with hundreds of mourners are no problem. Just let me know roughly how many people you're expecting and which parts of the day matter most, and I'll plan the coverage around that.
Can you photograph the burial at a London cemetery?
Yes. I regularly follow the procession from the church to the cemetery and photograph the committal at the graveside, working quietly and keeping a respectful distance.
Can you cover the repast or wake?
Yes. Many families like photos of the gathering afterwards, when everyone is together sharing memories. It's often where the warmest photos of the day are taken.
Can you photograph and live stream the same funeral?
Yes. I can arrange live streaming alongside photography, so relatives overseas can watch the service live and the family still has photos of the whole day to keep.
