About our Headington funeral home

Previously S&R Childs Funeral Services, we have joined fellow funeral homes in Oxfordshire to create Oliver & James Funeral Directors. Our Headington funeral home aims to serve the whole of Oxford and is ideally located at Pharmacy House on London Road. In addition to Cowley, Littlemore and Summertown, we also provide funeral services to nearby villages, such as Wheatley and Eynsham. Our modern facilities combined with our highly trained and experienced staff, allows us to care for your loved one with respect throughout their time with us.

Reviews of our services

  • Cliff was a superstar and was able to adapt when we needed to make changes to the format of the ceremony. Always quick to reply to emails too. Very much appreciated!

    • Response from Oliver & James

      Thank you for your 5* review. I am glad that all of your wishes and requirements were carried out by the team as you had requested.

  • We had a really brilliant experience. The support and respect shown to our dear mum was excellent. The arrangements all worked perfectly and we were just so well supported at every point through this challenging time. Thank you.

    • Response from Oliver & James

      We appreciate you leaving a review online for your experience with S & R Childs Funeral Directors. I am pleased we were able to help make things easier for you at such a difficult time.

  • Cliff looked after us very well.

    • Response from Oliver & James

      Thank you for your online review. We are grateful of you using our services to provide something special for your loved one.

  • Having decided on a direct cremation for my late husband, I looked on the internet for providers and contacted three providers. S&R Childs gave me a very favourable quote, were very kind on the phone and were easily accessible to the hospital where my husband's body was located. I had one meeting in their office in Headington and the staff I met were kind and efficient and all business was dealt with in one visit. Further telephone conversations were helpful and handled with sympathy and understanding. Thank you.

    • Response from Oliver & James

      We are grateful of you using our services to provide something special for your loved one. Your feedback is so valuable to us and we would like to say thank you. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience online with us. It helps other families in their time of need. I am glad that we were able to provide you with the dignity and respect needed at this time.

  • I used S&R Childs services following the death of my father in late 2022. Throughout the process I dealt with Hannah who was one of the most calm and soothing people I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. Clearly she is in the right profession. All through the process of making the arrangements she was respectful, helpful and informative. At no point did I feel pressured, and she advised me and made recommendations only when asked. This was my first experience of making arrangements for a funeral and it couldn't have been smoother. I would have no hesitation about recommending Childs, and Hannah in particular, to anyone who finds themselves in need of their services.

    • Response from Oliver & James

      Thank you so much for this lovely review which means all the more at this very challenging time. The team are working very hard to ensure that each family receives outstanding care and I am so glad their dedication has given you the service you needed.
