One family supporting another at the most difficult time. Everything was dealt with calmly and with the utmost compassion and respect. A very professional team, who ensured every ...  smallest detail was exactly as we wanted. The services of Grace as the celebrant was a terrific bonus and created a clever balance between a religious service and a straight crematorium event. I know we're biased, but it was the best funeral we've ever attended....and I didn't think it was possible to say that about someone I loved so much. Thank you for everything. more

    Dear Cedric, you and the family are very welcome. It was a lovely send off for a lovely lady. The tributes from your granddaughters said it all really. She was the best.
  • 5 Caroline Miners 12th Apr 2025

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Caroline, it was a honour to arrange the funeral for someone that I worked alongside for so many years and respected. He was a true gentleman and honourable in that his word or a handshake was good enough. He will be greatly missed, and it was fantastic to see so many people come together remember him. I will continue to hold you, David and Fiona in my thoughts.

  • 5 Colin Bloomfield 8th Oct 2024

    For both our father and mother we have received highly professional services from FD Hall & Son Ltd.  Esther and her team execute all aspects of the arrangements with such kindness and respect.  Difficult times are made easy with such a personal approach the kind you really can only receive from a firm grounded locally and a family business where all aspects of service matter.  Throughly recommended. 

    FD Hall replied
    Thank you Colin. You did a wonderful job of personalising the arrangements and the white roses were such a lovely gesture! Everyone was very touched.

    Right from the initial meeting F. D. Hall and Son  provided reassurance, advice and comfort with a high level of professionalism. I am deeply grateful for all their help which made dealing with funeral arrangements so easy . The service they provided was second to none and rarely do I give such praise!

    Dear Ruth, thank you for your kind word. This is lovely to hear to know we're getting it right. We do try to take the strain off of our families but have them feeling very much in control of the choices. Take care and we're thinking of you often.
  • 5 Chris Dawe 1st May 2024

    F D Hall & Son Ltd were the best funeral directors we could have asked for. They supported us through every stage and gave our Aunt the most wonderful funeral that we could have asked for. Our family cannot thank them enough for their help and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

    FD Hall replied
    Thank you for your kind review Chris. We are sorry that your family needed our services again so soon
  • 5 Mary Curd 30th Apr 2024

    I responded to a central organization who sent me a form about burial grounds such as Pentiddy.

    I found F D Hall & Son funeral directors to be so kind and understanding. They visited me twice in my home, during the period when my husband was at home on palliative care and that was much appreciated. Esther was ready with everything I needed to make choices at such a difficult time and she steered me through it all and always made clear I could change my mind about details at any time. Looking back now, it made such an impact for the day of the funeral and my subsequent feelings.

    FD Hall replied
    Hello Mary, I hope you are well. Thank you for your kind words and we are glad that we made a difference and could help and make a tough time that bit easier. Take care
  • 5 Andrew Sims 30th Apr 2024

    Fd Hall and Son was so kind and considerate and the presentation on the day was so professional we couldn’t have asked for more. 

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Andrew, I hope you have all been okay since the service and we are only too glad to serve and pleased to know that we hit the mark. Thank you for your kind words.
  • 5 Jill Ferris 30th Apr 2024

    My Mother's death came at quite a difficult time for us, but F D Hall & Son took care of everything. Grace in particular couldn't have been more kind & helpful.
    Everything went as planned & we even had some sunshine! I would be pleased to recommend them to anyone.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Jill,

    Thank you for your kind words. It was an honour to conduct Mum's service and wonderful to be able to serve your family again. Take care.
  • 5 Tim Bowden 28th Mar 2024

    Esther and team did a fantastic job with my mums funeral. She was so helpful and sympathetic. It was my first experience of having to organise something like this and she made it really easy, and it was so special and individual.

  • 5 Chris Weekes 19th Mar 2024

    Myself and Ruby,s family cannot praise enough the Professionlism and the Care that F.D.Hall & Son showed to us throughout. Ester and Nigel were so caring in making sure that everthing was exactly right for us.

    The funeral of my son was absolutely perfect.
    It explained him to the T.
    The service and professionalism was above and beyond.
    I can't thank each and every one of the staff at the Funeral Directors.
