I would like to say that from the initial appointment with Alison we were treated like royalty.  She took us through exactly everything we needed to know about what would happen.  We weren’t ever pressured into something we didn’t need, she let us have time to discuss things with the family and never hurried us for a decision.  We felt that from start to finish it was very personal and intimate.  She kept in regular contact with us to make sure we were kept up to date and if we had any questions she would answer them for us.  Nothing was too much for her.   I can not express in words how thankful we are for making mums funeral go so smoothly so much so that other attendees commented on how lovely the funeral was.

Everything was handled with sensitivity and the whole process carefully explained. Staff were smartly presented and all showed high levels of empathy, tact and awareness. All our wishes were carried out to the letter so that Barry had the send-off we had all hoped for. Thank you all so very much - my deep gratitude to you all.

  • 5 Kirstie Whiting 17th Oct 2022

    Alison & Susie at Handforth Funeralcare have been absolutely amazing with myself & the rest of my family. We have had the worst 4 months but having both Alison & Susie there along the way has been really helpful. They are two of the most amazing people my family could have asked to help us in our time of sadness. 

  • 5 Julie Goodyer 30th Aug 2022

  • 5 Julie Brown 8th Aug 2022

    Excellent service from the moment I walked through the door.
    Very caring and Empathic thank you so much could not have asked for a better service.

  • 3 Elizabeth Haenni 25th Jul 2022

    -We couldn't acess the office in the afternoon on the day Allen Gichero had passed away, eventhough the staff who took him from his home told me I was able to go there by 1400.
    - This lack of Empathy improved
    - I was not aware that the ashes aren't in a urne but only in a plasticbag in the carrierbox
    - we weren't asked during the first talk what urne we would like, or to think about it..at least I would have choosen one before the 13th the day of the cremation
    I not angry at all, but think it is important that you know why I only put an average...because we had very good talks and the ceremony although short was led with dignity.Thank you all!

  • 5 Marion Smith 13th Jun 2022

    Very professional and extremely caring. Alison at Handforth was 5*. Nothing was too much trouble and was so helpful from the time we booked, to the day of the funeral. Gave my father in law a lovely send off.

  • 5 Anthony Fox 3rd May 2022

    Alison, Susie and the team arranged a perfect funeral. Their care, support and dignity through the whole process made a difficult time all the more bearable. They did my mum proud. Thank You

  • 5 Lynn Shaw 12th Apr 2022

    Susie was very helpful. Helping me choose the right funeral for my   Brother. Always giving me advice as I had never arranged a funeral  before. 
    On the day of the funeral Allison was was very attentive and supported me. 
    All in all a great service at a very sad time. 

  • 5 Tracy Cahill 14th Mar 2022

    Alison and Susie at the Handforth branch made a very difficult time so much easier to bear thanks to their professionalism and empathy. They accommodated the funeral service date I had requested and ensured that all aspects of the funeral plan were met by the date needed. If it’s ever possible to describe a funeral service as being beautiful, my mother’s was.  I can not recommend them highly enough. Thank you.

  • 5 Robert Falk 29th Dec 2021

    Everything handled with great dignity and respect. Flags for the cars following the hearse was just a small detail but it was an inspiration. Really helped to keep us all together.
