    From the moment I arrived at Nigel Guilder's office a couple of days after Dad died the staff have been kind, friendly & very helpful. Our thanks to them all.
    Bob Metcalf took the necessary details with professionality and sympathy & has arranged everything needed so that we didn't have to worry over arrangements totally unknown to us.
    Thanks also go to Carol Colyer for taking the service at Southampton Crematorium and for being an understanding lady in a sad time for us.

  • 5 Hossein Khajavi 11th Dec 2020

    There aren’t enough good things to be said about Nigel Guilders ... during what was obviously an incredibly heartbreaking and emotional time, the whole team made everything so much less overwhelming. The respect and kindness shown was second to none - we knew my mum was in safe and loving hands and my family and I took great comfort from her being in the best care she could possibly be in. Thank you Bob, Natalie and Nigel. We are so grateful for you

    Wonderful family business, sadly I have dealt with both father and daughter at this funeral directors as I have buried 3 family members. 
    They go the extra mile and made it as another as possible for me, as I live over an hour away.

    Highly recommend

    Love Sandy and Family x

  • 5 Jayne Whiting 29th Oct 2020

    We cannot fault the service of Nigel and his team. They made everything run so smoothly and were supportive, professional and friendly, and made a difficult task so much easier. Everything was explained to us and nothing was too much trouble. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

  • 5 Maurice Marsh 22nd Oct 2020

    Our funeral was conducted with the utmost care and integrity. We were kept informed at every stage of the process and all matters including liaising with the celebrant and arranging all the necessary procedures with the crematorium were carried out to the most exacting professional standards.

    We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Nigel Gilder for your funeral requirements.

    Maurice and Claudette Marsh

  • 5 Warren Tomkins 8th Sep 2020

    Would not use anyone else, excellent service

  • 5 Juliet Lewis 6th Sep 2020

    Nigel and his expert team have provided their services for 3 of my closest relatives in as many years.
    The service they provide is accommodating, thorough and reliably organised such that I have been able to relax in the knowledge that the funeral arrangements will run like clockwork.  
    And that is a huge relief, at a time of confused emotions and absentmindedness.  
    My return to Nigel Guilder over the recent past is testimony to the fact that I trust him, and his team, to fulfil my wishes and deal sensitively with the arrangements in a very professional manner.  
    I recommend highly. 

  • 5 Robert Thorn 4th Sep 2020
