    My mum and dad died only 6 days apart they kept them side by side and they have been cremated one after the other and their ashes mixed together and scattered at the garden of remembrance. After 76 years of marriage it’s only fitting they remained together, and that exactly what you did, could not fault you care for my parents excellent service from beging to end faultless.

  • 5 Edward Millichap 1st Nov 2023

    I can find no fault in the service my wife received from Alistair Walker and his colleagues.
    He was businesslike during our meetings, without losing his air of sympathy.
    Of special note was his asking me for a synopsis of Yvonne's life, he said "we don't like to deal with a number, we want to know the person we have here."
    Everything went smoothly, and he answered mist of my questions before I asked them, a sign of great experience and professionalism.

  • 5 Sally Hearn 25th Sep 2023

    From our first meeting I was put at ease. I was guided through this harrowing experience with care and compassion. Every step of the way I was kept informed of my choices and the steps that were followed. I feel that my mother was treated with dignity and respect at all times. The funeral was flawless. I would highly recommend Reading Funeracare to anyone.

    This is the first time we have had to deal with a funeral and I can't thank the staff enough. ToniAnn guided us through the process from start to finish with compassion and sensitivity. Darren was brilliant on the day. Thank you for taking such good care of mum.

  • 5 Linda Reeves 19th Jun 2023

    From the first call everyone was kind, caring but efficient. Lovely atmosphere and our silly questions were answered. Everything went as planned and everyone was so helpful. 

  • 5 Gemma Cudjoe 6th Mar 2023

    Excellent service was provided. Very professional and caring. Everything was handled with dignity. On the day we were gently guided through the process from pick up, to arrival at the church, leaving the church, at the graveside including backfilling and on to the repass. Timings worked well. Thank you.

  • 5 Julie Busby 1st Mar 2023

    Apart from an initial problem caused by the funeral plan department which we sorted.The funeral went perfectly with everything just as we wanted.We felt confident that my brother was well cared for.
    Thankyou Toniann and Alistair and  the rest of the team.

  • 5 Kenneth Morris 20th Feb 2023

    From my initial contact with Reading Funeralcare to the day of the funeral I was kept in touch with how it was progressing. All that I asked for was provided. Nothing was too much trouble. I single out Toniann and Alistair for being so very helpful at what is a sensitive life event. I am truly very pleased I chose Reading Funeralcare to conduct the service for my partner of 35 years Colin, who wanted 2 black horses drawing the hearse to convey him on his last journey, magnificent, and Alistair carrying a black cane was a nice gesture. Very well done to all involved in Colin's funeral. I shall use them again when it is my time to depart this life. Kenneth Morris
