  • 5 Rosemary Southwood 30th Nov 2019

    Chris and everyone at W.C. Matthews & Son were excellent in every way during this very difficult period. Without the support of Chris, always being on hand if needed, offering help and advice, I would have found it so much harder to deal with the lost of Phil.
    I cannot thank Chris and everyone for all their help and support, and for arranging the wonderful funeral service of which Phil would have been so proud.
    Thank you so much.

    Sensitive, knowledgeable and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and I am confident that my late wife would have approved of the service that Chris Matthews and his team put together.

  • 5 Dawn Thomas 4th Nov 2019

    Chris and all the staff supported us 24/7 throughout this awful time of losing our much loved Dad. Nothing was a problem, at a time like this you need people who understands your state of mind. We highly recommend Chris to help everyone through the last journey of a loved one, he stays with you and we will never forget the love and support he gave us. Xxx

    Chris was so caring and compassionate. My mums funeral was lovely she would have been really touched by all the care taken and attention to detail. Thank you so much everyone at WC Matthews & Sons Funeral Directors. 

  • 5 Sue Smith 4th Jun 2019

    I couldn’t have asked for better support from Chris Matthews and his team after my husband passed away two weeks ago. We as an extended family have  used this family firm for the last 35 years, and wouldn’t think to change. 
    A wonderful service at a difficult time.

  • 5 Roger Wild 12th May 2019

    Many thanks to Chris Matthews who guided and supported us through this difficult time with compassion and professionalism. Chris handled every aspect of the funeral arrangements in an inclusive way that allowed the family to feel that we were making informed decisions along the way. Chris was always available to ask questions or to visit and help put our minds at rest. Nothing was too much trouble and all of our questions and requests were met immediately and without fuss. A superb service at a difficult family time. Chris Matthews and his company’s services are highly recommended. 

  • 5 Patricia Comber 27th Apr 2019

    I found them to be very sympathetic, very respectful to my husbands memory, very efficient, turning up on time, explaining everything slowly and in an easy to understand way. Hopefully I wont have to use them again before I die but if I do I will defiantly use them again.
