About Barney Raymond

 Barney Raymond Funeral Directors has served families in Sri Lanka for generations, providing professional funeral services with dignity, care, and unwavering attention to detail.

Established in the early 1940s in Colombo, the company has grown from a small family-run funeral service into a trusted name assisting families across the island and abroad. From our long-standing premises on D. S. Senanayake Mawatha in Colombo, we continue to serve communities with the same values of professionalism and respect that shaped the business from the beginning. 

Our heritage is connected to the long tradition of professional funeral service associated with the Raymond name in Sri Lanka, which has played a role in funeral arrangements for prominent national figures, religious leaders, and families from every walk of life. Over the decades, funeral directors connected with this tradition have participated in major ceremonies of national significance, including funerals for political leaders and distinguished public figures. 

Today, Barney Raymond Funeral Directors continues that legacy by providing modern funeral services guided by international standards of care and preparation. Our team supports families through every stage of the process—from immediate response and funeral arrangements to documentation, transport, and burial or cremation.

We also specialize in international repatriation, assisting families, embassies, and insurers with the preparation and transport of human remains across borders. Our experience in this field ensures that all legal, medical, and airline requirements are handled with efficiency and respect. 

At Barney Raymond, we believe that a funeral is not simply a ceremony, but an opportunity to honour a life and provide comfort to those left behind. Every family we serve receives the same careful attention, discretion, and dignity that define our work.
