Lodge Brothers, the seventh generation of local family owned Funeral Directors, have been helping and advising bereaved families for over 225 years. They have been serving local families in Ashford since 1972 when they purchased Walter Lock & Son, their main competitor. As part of the sale Lodge Brothers acquired the premises at 4-6 Clarendon Road in Ashford, which they originally used to house both their funeral arranging and memorial stonemasonry services.
