W Flint Funeral Service

5 Jean Butt 25th Aug 2024

A professional, efficient but most of all a caring service. Their understanding and respect beyond measure. I cannot express my thanks enough for the way they supported all my family through a difficult time. 

5 Andrew Brett 24th Aug 2024

We have used the services of W Flint for both of our parents and they offer an extremely professional service at all stages - they are highly recommended in my opinion = you are not just a number to them.

5 Gill Harrison 30th Jul 2024

Couldn’t have asked for anything better.  The service we have received from John and his team was excellent. 
Sympathy and care shown for us as a family and respect for my son who had passed away

John was outstanding with the service he and the rest of the people at W Flint provided.He was professional, informative, efficient and guided us all the way. I would highly recommend W Flint , no question or request was any issue, and took great care of my mum. 

5 Jacqueline Calladine 14th Apr 2024

Mark and the team provided a first class service from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone as they offer a compassionate service that can be tailored to the family wishes.

5 Julie Lineker 13th Jun 2023

An excellent company that I couldn’t recommend enough. Nothing was too much trouble from start to finish and all our wishes were catered for. Very professional but also friendly staff. Highly recommended.

5 Karen Morden 26th May 2023

From initial contact the support and service has been outstanding. I had so many questions as this was the first funeral I have had to organise, every question was answered with care and compassion during a very emotional time.
Nothing was too much trouble to ensure that my dads funeral was exactly as we, the family wanted it to be.

5 Amanda Bouvier 26th Mar 2023

From start to finish, John was amazing. Mark was also really helpful in responding to my queries while John was away, and Diane who conducted our mum’s service was absolutely fantastic.

Mum had her entire funeral planned with Flints, and all of  her wishes for how she wanted her funeral to be were honoured and respected by Flints. Claire also prepared the most beautiful wreaths for us.

On the day that my brother and I visited the Chapel of Rest ahead of mum’s funeral, John was very comforting and respectful.

There was absolutely nothing at all that we would change about the way that our darling mum’s service and the subsequent burial of her ashes 2 days later were conducted, and in fact Flints exceeded our expectations.

Whilst my brother and I were aware that at the end of the service, John and Diane would bow to mum as the curtains closed, there were a couple of lovely, memorable things that took place after the cars collected us from mum’s house that we weren’t expecting.

The way that John walked in front of the car that was carrying mum, all the way down to the bottom of mum’s road and on to the next road, before bowing to mum and getting in to the car was just wonderful. This showed such dignity and respect to mum and we felt so grateful.

Sandra, the driver of our car that followed mum’s car was very respectful and we shared some conversation about how long she had worked for Flints.

As mum’s coffin was carried in to the crematorium, John and Diane ensured that my brother and I walked behind mum and were seated first before the rest of the family and then the other guests entered the room.

John helped my brother and I plan all the logistics of the funeral from the word go,  talking us through the process, helping us decide to create a beautiful photograph slide-show of mum over the years, and explained how the more administrative side of things would work.

John was at the Chapel of Rest a few days before the service to welcome us and explain what mum’s resting room would look like before we entered.

It was very comforting talking to John after spending time with mum at the Chapel, which helped enormously. John ensured that all of the sentimental items we took to the Chapel were put in to mum’s coffin with her as per our request.

John honoured my brother and my wishes for us to keep a portion of mum’s ashes for ourselves ahead of the burial, and ensured that my request for a clip of mum’s hair for me to keep was also honoured. 

John ensured that our darling mum was dressed in the nightshirt that belonged to her beloved late sister ahead of the service, and all communication we had with Diane via Zoom and email regarding what we wanted her to say during the service was very easy, and Diane replied promptly to all our emails.

We really appreciated the way that John asked us to meet him at the cemetery 5 minutes before the actual burial, as this meant that as my brother lowered mum’s urn in to ground, the church bells rang at 10.00 am.

Thank you also to Mark for recommending Mansfield Memorials for mum’s headstone, who we found very helpful and easy to do business with.

We could not recommend Flints Funeral Services enough to anyone wishing to give their loved ones a beautiful and dignified send-off.

Thank you so very much!

Amanda & Ricki & family

5 Mark Freeman 20th Feb 2023

From start to finish the service we received was impeccable. The whole process was carried out in a very professional and dignified manner. Everyone remarked how beautiful the service was and my Mum received the send-off she deserved thanks to John who was very kind, competent, supportive and compassionate during this very difficult time. It was handled sympathetically with great attention to detail, we could not have asked for more. Very efficient and faultless throughout. I want to take the opportunity to say "Thank you". If you want a professional and caring service then I would recommend W Flint Funeral Service.

5 Adrian Warren 9th Sep 2022

They have been fantastic during this hard time. I would 100% recommend

5 Alison Morley 27th Aug 2022

We have been very happy in how very professional and supportive Flints have been. They have been supportive from the first appointment to the day of the funeral could not have asked for a better service.

5 Angela Whitmore 1st Aug 2022

This was the fourth funeral that Flints provided for us within as many years. Obviously if they were not excellent each time then we would not have kept going back for their services. Professional but friendly and compassionate.

5 Richard Hutchings 18th Mar 2022

I cannot praise W. Flint highly enough, nor thank them enough for all they have done for my mother and I. We have been helped by John and Mark the past few weeks, and they are both absolutely brilliant, professional, and totally compassionate in every aspect of what they do. From planning the service to the funeral day itself, W. Flint have made the entire process very easy, and have exceeded our expectations at every step.

Thank you.

5 George Holling 31st May 2021

It's heartbreaking losing a loved one and organising a funeral is a daunting task.
We were fortunate that we chose W.Flint funeral services.
From the original phone call, to the first meeting with John we were made to feel completely at ease.
Their professionalism was above and beyond especially in these restricted times.
They conducted a beautiful service fitting of a wonderful human being we lost.
Thank you.

5 Zena Goddard 23rd Jan 2021

We received exceptional service throughout the whole process with W Flint Funeral Service, as we arranged Dad’s funeral. Their customer service is very considerate and they keep in touch and explain what’s happening every step of the way.
In the most difficult of circumstances they most definitely helped to support us, and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Thank you to all the team for your support x

5 sonia and simon johnson 14th Aug 2020

John and his team were fantastic. From the initial contact John was with us on the phone and zoom helping us and guiding us. On the day everything was perfect as can be on a very sad day , the flowers,the cars and the celebrant Diane that John guided us to was absolutely wonderful and did an excellent job. From the first phone call to the final farewell we were treated professionally and so very caring and dad was treated with the most upmost respect all the way. From the family we can't thank you enough

5 Mim Machray 9th Jul 2020
