Independent, Family-Run Funeral Planning for the West Malling Community Since 1777
At Viner & Sons, we are proud to be the only family-run, independent funeral directors in West Malling. Established in 1777, we have served families in West Malling, Kings Hill, Leybourne and nearby communities for generations with compassion, dignity and professionalism.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and our role is to ease the burden by guiding you through every step of the arrangements. From your first call, our experienced team provides personal support to ensure the funeral reflects your wishes and those of your family. Based on West Malling High Street, we also regularly support families in Maidstone, Tonbridge and across the Malling area.


Funeral Services for Families in West Malling & Kings Hill
Our involvement begins at your first contact and extends even beyond the day of the funeral. As soon as we are notified of the death, we will gather preliminary information and ascertain when we can arrange for the conveyance of the deceased person to our private chapel of rest. The family’s wishes are our primary concern and after immediate assistance, we establish when it will be convenient to meet and make the final arrangements.


Memorials and Headstones at Our West Malling Showroom
We provide and put in place all types of Memorials for Churchyards and Cemeteries. We have a showroom at our premises in West Malling where you are invited to see several different types of headstones, plaques and vases on display together with a comprehensive brochure available upon request or to download online. We will ensure that all necessary documentation is completed in order to place a new headstone or to arrange for cleaning and adding additional inscriptions to existing stones.


Planning Ahead with Pre-paid Funeral Plans
A funeral plan is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance. A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As our customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service.

We wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the loving professional way you cared for our dear Mum. We took great comfort in the fact that she was in your hands. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.
