“Southall Sikh Funerals based in Southall was assisted by Manpreet Singh. Manpreet is the most honest, polite, helpful, respectful, very caring and professional person I have ever met. He was like a God sent in all ways. I was constantly updated throughout the planning of the funeral service and reassured that everything was going to be well. Even though it was a very difficult time for us all, Manpreet arranged everything and put us at ease. I would highly recommend him to everyone. Very professional, responsive and compassionate. Thank you Manpreet for your patience and support.”

“Southall Sikh Funerals were brilliant in the way they helped us and the whole family. From the minute we had to deal with the unfortunate circumstances of a death in the family, to the final moment of the funeral. The service was excellent, respectful of our religious traditions, and very compassionate. We would highly recommend Southall Sikh Funerals for their care, professionalism, and guidance during a difficult time.”

Extract from a Recent Interview ...
As a child, Manpreet Singh remembers going to funerals with his father. Curious, he asked his mother to explain Sikh funeral traditions and wondered why none of the funeral directors he saw were Sikh.
After careers in engineering and retail, Manpreet set out to learn as much as he could about funeral care, and now assists Sikh families with arranging funerals in Southall, West London, not far from where he grew up.
We asked him to share his perspective on Sikh approaches to death and funerals for Talking Death.
RITUALS THAT CHANGE AND EVOLVE
The Sikh religion focuses on “being good, kind and remembering God,” he explains. “Everything about the last rites and the funeral are designed to send the person off on their journey.”
Manpreet is keen to stress that different families will carry out the rituals in different ways, depending on how religious they are, or simply their personal preference.
One example of how this works in practice is in washing and dressing the person who has died ....
