About our Witney funeral home

Previously S&R Childs Funeral Services, we have joined fellow funeral homes in Oxfordshire to create Oliver & James Funeral Directors. Our priority is to provide outstanding standards of funeral care, by listening to your funeral wishes and organising a funeral which thoughtfully reflects the life of your loved one. You can find our funeral home on the High Street in Witney, Oxfordshire. We have more than 30 years of experience arranging all types of funerals, including religious, non-religious and contemporary ceremonies, including green burials or bright celebrations of life. We are well equipped to tailor a service to your needs, so you can provide someone important to you with the farewell they deserve.

Meet our team

We understand how this period of your life can be heavy in emotion and bring feelings of uncertainty at times. Kasia and our team are here to support you through the funeral journey, offering you guidance and support when you need it the most and hopefully take some of the pressure from you.

When you sit down with Kasia, she will carefully listen to your wishes so we can understand what you are looking for in the funeral service and can begin planning how we will make it happen for you. If you have any specific requirements, please share them with Kasia to see how we can help include this in your funeral arrangements.

On the day, we hope you feel that your loved one's life has been beautifully honoured with the service arranged, allowing you to say goodbye in a dignified manner.

Our services

With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.

If you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary funeral with a service, you should consider our Attended Funeral. If you want us to arrange a simple cremation without mourners present, our Unattended Funeral may better suit your needs.

Reviews of our services

  • Kasia and the team at S&R Childs, Witney organised the funeral service for my father at North Oxfordshire Crematorium. I found the team at Childs organised and responsive whilst at the same time being sympathetic to our needs. The funeral ceremony was totally appropriate for us, led by a Celebrant from Childs. Thank you again for helping us through a difficult day
