Denise and her team were so kind, understanding, and respectful of our choices and wishes. As Denise and her team are local and are working with local families, it was so lovely that she knew our father was able to chat to us about him which made her service more personal. We knew our dad was in safe hands.  Denise was so patient with us, respecting that we were grieving but also supporting us to manage to process of arranging his funeral, flowers and everything thing else. We had an amazing Celebrant Bob Spry which Denise had recommended. Denise and her team have looked after my daughter, our mother and lastly our father. She is one amazing lady.

Dear Denise. Many, many, thanks for handling Mum’s funeral. It was, naturally, a hugely emotional event for us but you were all so sensitive, professional, comforting and kind. We can’t thank you enough.

Gail Williams 3rd Dec 2024

Excellent service. Supportive and so helpful at a time of great sorrow. Thank you

  • 5 Sabrina Yeo 4th Jun 2024

    Myself and my family can't thank Denise enough for her amazing personal and professional service after the loss of our dear Husband & Dad. She was there every step of the way providing support and reassurance , taking care of him , ensuring every tiny detail was perfect for his send off, she is a natural caring person and we really felt that she took us all in her arms when we needed it. If anyone was made to be a funeral director it was Denise and we will be forever grateful ❤️

  • 5 Jacquie Carn 27th May 2024

    We were so pleased with the service we received from Denise. Everything was explained clearly to us and the choices available. On the day we felt that Denise had her eye on everything and all went according to plan. She was a perfect Funeral Director. The cost was very reasonable too.

  • 5 Kevin Cornish 20th May 2024

    Denise helped to provide such a lovely funeral service for our mum. She was so supportive and understanding leading up to it and at no point was anything too much trouble if we needed any guidance or had queries regarding the funeral. We all felt a lot more at ease knowing Denise and her staff were looking after mum. Highly recommended x

  • 5 Linda Masters 6th May 2024

    This is the second occasion in less than 2 years I have had to call on the services of Denise and her team and on both occasions I cannot think of any way things could have been better handled. Denise is warm, compassionate and very efficient. You know immediately that you are in very good and capable hands. We were gently led through the processes involved and throughout she or her team made themselves readily available for any queries or requests we might have. Everything we wanted was made possible, however unusual the request - from a home burial to taking a coffin out to the cliffs on a tractor and trailer before burial. When we were unable to read out things we wanted said, she took over that role for us and was able to recommend an excellent celebrant for the post burial celebration of life. I cannot recommend her service too highly.

  • 5 Emma Sollis 3rd May 2024

    Denise and staff were fantastic, sorted everything out for us. So kind and friendly highly recommend anyone needing their services.

    Dear Denise, thank you so very much for the calm, friendly and professional support you gave us for my husband’s funeral. My son and I are very pleased we chose you to organise his funeral. We’re grateful for everything you did to make the day special and tailored to our wishes. You were compassionate and approachable and guided us every step of the way with your gentle, caring nature. Thank you for a lovely day to remember. 

  • 5 Giles Price 14th Nov 2023

    Dad had told me about Denise some time ago and from the moment I called her I knew why. She handled all the business of taking Dad into her care at her lovely peaceful funeral home with exactly the right balance of dignity, love and humour. My brother and I are really grateful for how all the particulars were dealt with from start to finish - the whole process was so easy with no delayed responses. Thank you Denise
