Who are we?

Welcome to James Harper Family Funeral Directors, delivering compassionate funeral services since 2002. Founded by John Fordham, we have remained committed to serving the needs of families during their most difficult times. Following John's passing, his three sons, Simon, Duncan and Adrian, continued the legacy, ensuring the business thrived under their dedicated care. In 2021, the responsibility and trust of preserving the heritage of James Harper Family Funeral Directors passed to Steven Mears when he acquired the business.

Nestled in the heart of Plaistow Lane, our premises serve the local communities of Bromley, Downham, Sundridge Park, and beyond. We understand the importance of providing personalised, dignified, and respectful funeral services that honour the lives of your loved ones. With a wealth of experience and an unwavering commitment to excellence, James Harper Family Funeral Directors is here to guide and support you during this emotionally challenging time.

Our compassionate team of professionals is dedicated to understanding your individual needs, preferences, and cultural traditions. Whether you require a traditional funeral service, a contemporary celebration of life, or a bespoke arrangement, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
