Absolutely fantastic service, very respectful towards us all. Nothing was too much trouble and answered any questions we had. We were kept informed on everything and also after the funeral they made sure we were all ok

Philip Cadwallader 29th Nov 2024

Can't fault the service. Claire was very considerate to our needs and took upmost care in preparation for the Chapel of Rest. Claire spent a long time talking to us on the day we visited the Chapel of Rest and also went out of her way to join the funeral cortege when this part of the ceremony is normally performed by a colleague. Claire kept us up-to-date with proceedings throughout the funeral planning process and also gave a courtesy call following the funeral.

    The co-op were nothing short of outstanding in their care for mum.  From the team that collected her to Claire at Woodville,  nothing was too much trouble and attention to detail was phenomenal x

  • 5 Jamie Brotherhood 8th Oct 2024

  • 5 Peter Caulton 1st Oct 2024

    I’m so impressed with woodville funeral directors. Especially Karen and Claire. I would recommend anyone planning a funeral to approach these ladies.

  • 5 Helena Parker 9th Aug 2024

    The understanding, empathy, care and attention to detail was second to none.

    Nothing was too much trouble, and everything - from the planning to the funeral itself - was flawless.

    We felt cared for and supported in every step of this painful journey, and we couldn't have hoped for anything better.

    Special thanks to Claire and Karen for all they have done.

    Thanks and best wishes,

    Brian Parker

    Karen and the team have been fantastic and very professional with every aspect of all the arrangements for my dad's celebration of life. Nothing was to much trouble and Nick Upton delivered a really rememberable service by portraying the real essence of my dad, thank you all x x

  • 5 Allan Blakeley 22nd Jun 2024

    From the start everyone was so helpful.  We were guided through the whole process,  and the staff couldn’t of done anymore, or been anymore understanding.     The help and support we were given truely helped at the most difficult of times.  Everyone  went above and beyond, also, out of there way,  to provide the best send off possible and offered so much comfort and support throughout.  I can’t thank you all enough.

  • 4 Betty Wrathall 17th Jun 2024

    The service we got from the team at Woodville was excellent.The only disappointment I had was when calls were transferred to Tamworth. The night my husband died we were told that it would be about an hour before the funeral director came to take him away but because of some problem with the phone it was more than 3 hours.Having said that Claire at Woodville was the best we could have wanted, very obliging and willing to accommodate our every wish. Thank you Claire.

  • 5 Debra Kennedy 20th Nov 2023

    Everyone at the Woodville branch was so sensitive and caring in making the arrangements for my Dads funeral, especially Karen wood who was so compassionate.  On the day of the funeral Tony Rabin was the conductor and ensured that everything went to plan as well as taking time to walk us through each step so we knew what to expect and when. Nick Upton was the celebrant and lead the ceremony which gave Dad the send off we all hoped for. Thank you to everyone  who supported us through an extremely difficult time.

    From start to finish, we have nothing but praise for the compassionate & efficient service we received for our father’s funeral. The helpful suggestions offered to us resulted in the funeral being a perfect & beautiful farewell to our much loved Dad. We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use these funeral directors in future.

    From the moment you call, in your darkest hour, you're treated like family. Nothing is too much trouble, your requests, little whims, daft questions you know you shouldn't ask.. the ladies at Woodville, in my opinion, are the best in the business.
