I cannot recommend this lady her husband and their team enough. If you want a respectful, thoughtful funeral this is the place to come. In our time of grief for my mother Katie took us through the steps in a quiet calm way. She explained all we needed and gave us genuine support with love and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble our every need was catered for, discussed and provided. The service they offered is rarely seen today. The attention to detail was unrivalled. I can only thank them so much for the most amazing funeral. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They are an independent funeral company with attention to detail that you will not find in any large funeral companies. I wish them all the best for the future and if ever I have need of a funeral company again they are the only company i would go to.

By definition, when someone seeks the services of a funeral director it means they are going through possibly the worst moments of their lives. Thank goodness I chose Katie Mills Independent Funeral Service. I have had many good services given to me over many years but I cannot recall a better service than that of Katie and Rob. They always took the time to listen to stories that I had to tell about my dear departed friend and always showed an interest. I was kept informed of every step that was about to take place, there was compassion, understanding and empathy from start to finish, plus of course the obligatory cup of coffee!! I really cannot thank them enough for everything that they did for me and of course the dignified manner in which they looked after my dear friend. Thank you Katie Mills and Rob. Peter Bryant

Katie and Rob were fabulous from the very beginning and are still helping us now even after the funeral. They were kind and compassionate throughout and I feel that they went above and beyond normal procedures to ensure that my husbands funeral went to plan and in style. Although people do not want to wish their lives away-they were very impressed at the service Katie and Rob provided and took note for future reference. I would not hesitate in recommending their services.
