    About Sterry Funeral Service

    Sterry Funeral Service was established in Folkstone in 2003 and Sterry’s of Hythe followed in 2012. With over 30 years’ experience, Funeral Director Clive Sterry is supported by Nicky Stanton and the team at Sterry’s have become renowned for their compassionate, professional service. 

    The teams at our Folkestone and Hythe funeral homes will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. 

    Here at Sterry Funeral Service we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.

    Funeral Arranger

    Nicky joined Sterry Funeral Service in 2020 as a Funeral Arranger. She previously worked as a Funeral Arranger for another company for 9 years and before that working in memorials.

    She says “I enjoy helping families at a very difficult time in their lives. When I get good feedback from my families, I know I am doing a good job.”

    2 years ago Nicky lost 5 and a half stone, which has given her a lot more confidence and a whole new wardrobe!
