Superb service from the beginning. You managed to get funds from an insurance that i'm not sure i could have done. You kept me informed throughout. I will certainly reccomend Heritage to others

This is the second experience with Heritage Funerals. Arranging the funeral of a loved one is extremely difficult but the wonderful team at Heritage take your hand and guide you through with such compassion and kindness. The beautiful space that my dad was resting and the respect he was given was humbling. Nothing is too much trouble and we have felt so safe and cared for.  Just can’t express enough in words of how grateful my family and I are. One word that stands out when thinking of Heritage Funeral is Integrity. Thank you

Excellent attention to every detail surrounding John’s funeral. Rosemary and Nikki were very kind, respectful, and professional at all times. It was lovely that I was given a beautiful small bouquet of flowers just before the service.

  • 5 Kevin Ellis 22nd Oct 2024

    I cannot recommend the team at Heritage funerals,  Nikki, Rosemary and James highly enough. The team helped us deliver a beautiful service worthy of my amazing mum and they offered endless advice and support from the moment we first made contact with them.
     Nikki made everything as easy as possible helping us select the right choices for our family but never putting us under any pressure, her advice was invaluable. James looked after my mum beautifully while in their care, confirming every small detail that I worried about and Rosemary did a wonderful job delivering the service as our celebrant.
    On top of all this every time they spoke to us they listened to our stories of my mum, they showed genuine care for our grief and they always had time for us. They made the hardest time in life a little easier.

    I can’t recommend Heritage enough, this is the second time I’ve used them and the service is first class. Nikki and Rosemary do an outstanding job and are so very personable. I am grateful for their guidance and support during a difficult time. 

  • 5 Julie Wood 10th Aug 2024

    So happy I chose Heritage funerals in Dunstable.

    From the first phone call I made to James, I straight away felt they were the right people to take care of my brother who had recently passed. 

    James and Nicky’s kindness and respect with my brother and us as a family will remain with me forever.

    I also would like to say that as although an unattended cremation, we were treated very respectfully by Heritage funerals who had made us feel welcome at all times.
    Thanks again James and Nicky at Heritage.

  • 5 Jackie Messenger 18th Jun 2024

    We can't recommend Heritage highly enough. Rosemary, Nikki and James were extremely competent, yet totally compassionate, right from the start. They truly succeeded in their aim to deliver exactly what we wanted every step of the way, but offered some very helpful suggestions when appropriate. Nothing was too much trouble for these kind and caring professionals.

  • 5 Diana Dancer 22nd Dec 2023

    Wonderful personal service nothing is too much trouble. I am so happy we chose these wonderful people to conduct my mum’s funeral. They made the worst time of our lives more bearable 

  • 5 Michelle Greene 22nd Nov 2023

    Nicki and team were recommended to us by my sister in law.
    From the moment we stepped in through the door we felt at ease and understood. Everything was said with total honesty and respect to my dad and us. We requested for Dad to be put in his own clothes and his favourite song. They went above and beyond for us and dad. He looked so peaceful. They have little touches like the chapel of rest is a bed not a coffin which makes the awful situation seem less morbid. Any questions we've had we have been answered quickly and we felt supported and informed throughout, but without being chased.

    I highly recommend Nicki, James and Rosemary for anyone needing this service at such an awful time.

    Thank you all for what you have done for Dad ♥️
