  • 5 Linda Roycroft 19th May 2023

    I couldn’t  have had a nicer person than Denise to look after my late mother, I felt mum was staying with Denise and being cared for. Denise made a very difficult time easier to bear x

  • 5 Lucille Denford 25th Apr 2023

    Denise, we as a family cannot thank you enough for the professional but more importantly friendly and supportive way you organised Graham’s send off.  You and your team guided us through what was a very sad and difficult time. The service was a perfect tribute to him ❤️. 
    Denise your smile, hugs and genuine compassion helped make the hardest day one we can look back on and say “we did him proud”
    Would 100% recommend Denise Wellington Funeral Services. 

  • 5 Jayne Scott 20th Mar 2023

    Right from the initial meeting with Denise, we have experienced a very professional and caring service.  
    Denise always listened compassionately and carried out our wishes at every step.  
    We would not hesitate to recommend her services.  Thank you so much Denise, your support and the professionalism of your staff were a blessing at this very sad and emotional time. 

  • 5 David Richardson 17th Mar 2023

    Few of us become familiar with organizing funerals, but Denise was able to gently, but confidently lead my daughter and me through the whole process. We presented her with some partially formed plans of how we wanted to celebrate my wife’s passing and, with Denise’s advice and guidance, the whole event was a delightful success.
    Every question was answered, every request was met, nothing was too much trouble, and all was accomplished with such care and empathy that it felt that Denise became part of our family.
    Denise and her team deserve the highest recommendations on two counts - organizing, administering, and conducting the funeral arrangements - and her natural ability to balance sobriety and her endearing charm with all family members at a difficult emotional time.
    With our sincere thanks,
    Dave and Melanie.

    Thank you so much Denise and to all your staff.

  • 5 Elizabeth Lowes 12th Mar 2023

    Denise conducted my husband's funeral earlier this week. She was most efficient and attended to everything I wished. She was a pleasure to work with to ensure that my wishes for Harry's funeral were carried out to the letter. I would not hesitate in mentioning her name to anyone who required the services of an undertaker. I think she really enjoys her work and was so kind and sympathetic to me and my family.

  • 5 Karl Ritz 1st Mar 2023

    Superb service from Denise and her team. Compassionate, engaging, supportive, efficient and thoroughly professional. I unreservedly recommended them.

  • 5 Gina Saxton 28th Jan 2023

    Denise and her team went above and beyond to help me and my family through the sad time of the loss of our dear Dad. Nothing was too much trouble and they took care of everything including me! They looked after Dad so well before we laid him to rest which was a huge comfort to me. I can't thank Denise enough for all her help, support and compassion and will be forever grateful for making the whole process easy for us.

  • 5 Matthew Bosustow 16th Jan 2023

    Denise was incredible.

  • 5 Philip Stanbury 5th Dec 2022

    Thank you Denise Daryl and Harry for the very professional job you all did for Dads funeral  kind regards Philip and Judith and families.

  • 5 Laura Walmsley 18th Oct 2022

    There is absolutely nothing about the service Denise provided that wasn’t 5 star. Professional yet caring and compassionate in every way.  We were guided through the whole process yet every part completely our choice. We couldn’t have entrusted our adored dad to anyone who would have taken care of every aspect of his funeral in a more caring way. If you are reading this and are looking for a funeral service that won’t disappoint you are in the right place. We can’t thank Denise enough for helping us through an unfamiliar process in such a lovely, caring yet incredibly professional way. 

  • 5 Paul Thornton 30th Aug 2022

    Thank you Denise and the team for being so caring and thoughtful while undergoing such upsetting times.
    You made the whole experience much more bearable. You were sensitive, personable and professional in your approach. You were clear with instructions for bearers and this was appreciated. 
    You were impeccably turned out and we were proud we had chosen you to represent my Dad on his final journey. Thank you for your services. 
    Andrew and Ali Musson and family 

  • 5 Debbie Cresswell 2nd Jul 2022

    I had to arrange my Mum’s funeral on my own. Denise Wellington held my hand through the whole process. It made a very difficult and emotional time easier to cope with, she is a true professional.

    The funeral itself, was of course as I wished, but I could relax In the knowledge that Denise had checked and double checked every detail. It was perfect.

    I would not hesitate to recommend Denise.

  • 5 Katie Young 2nd Jul 2022

    Denise is the most helpful, considerate, dedicated person you could wish for when you lose a loved one. From start to finish Denise is there for you, at the end of a phone, email or What’s App. Nothing was too much trouble.
    Beautiful smile, beautiful person, definitely in the right job. Friends of ours attended the funeral from USA and they hope Denise will fly over to carry out their funeral when the time comes as they had never encountered such a sympathetic understanding kind person. 100% professional throughout, thank you Denise.

  • 5 Judy Rolston 19th Jun 2022

    Denise recently arranged my 95 year old mother's cremation and thanksgiving service and refreshments afterwards.
