  • 5 Richard Sheath 11th Mar 2022

    We couldn't have asked for more, we gave Mum a good send off all thanks to Nigel Guilder Ltd. Natalie and John along with the rest of the staff were, at all times, professional and sincere, but with added good humour that helped on such an occasion.
    We hope not to have to use them again in the near future, but wouldn't hesitate if we had to again.

  • 5 Adam Knight 11th Mar 2022

    We had to arrange my Nan's funeral in a really short amount of time for a few different reasons. The team at Nigel Guilder's and Natalie in particular did an amazing job at getting everything organised and letting us know what we needed to do. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Joanne Caiels 28th Feb 2022

    Very friendly, helpful and sympathetic at a very difficult time.

  • 5 Christina Hill 28th Feb 2022

    Couldn’t have been better.

  • 5 Claire Louise Sheath 22nd Feb 2022

    Nigel Guilder has again delivered a first class service helping us through the process with empathy and professionalism. They contributed to the celebration of life for my Mum and we are extremely grateful for their assistance in making a sad and stressful time a little less painful. Thankyou Nigel and your team, it is much appreciated.

  • 5 Christine Cooper 22nd Feb 2022

    Nigel Guilder, Chandlers Ford, were wonderful, not only by carrying out my Husbands funeral with care and compassion and in such a professional manner buy also to do this with such kindness and helpfulness to me.  I will always be gratef

  • 5 Jean Coleman 19th Feb 2022

    From the first telephone conversation Natalie put me at ease, when we visited to discuss arrangements we were treated with compassion, a smile, and again Natalie made our decisions easier, and was very caring.
    Nothing was too much trouble, and I felt reassured that Dad was being taken care of, and every effort to meet our expectations was met.
    The personal service we received from start to finish was a great comfort to myself, my Mother and our family.

  • 5 Jennifer Truckel 17th Feb 2022

    I can fully recommend Nigel Guilder and his colleagues, they were patient, kind and extremely helpful to my family and I.

    They added a few personal extras that we hadn't thought of, I had a lot of feedback from the mourners regarding the service as we gathered after the service. The comments were what a lovely service for David 's celebration of his life, so well organised and smooth running. This was down to Nigel & his team.

  • 5 Mary-Jane Maidment 17th Feb 2022

    John who handled my husbands funeral was wonderful .

  • 5 Amanda Bell 31st Jan 2022

    Highly recommend the services offered by Nigel Guilder and his Team.  I particularly chose this company as it was a family business - and I was not disappointed.  All members of staff were very accommodating, sensitive and compassionate during what was a very difficult time.  I cannot thank you enough.  Amanda Bell 

  • 5 Barry Brooks 31st Jan 2022

    When thinking about organising a funeral after the passing of my Mum it was such a daunting feeling but then Natalie stepped in and not only listened to our requests but thought about the feeling we wanted to get from the whole experience. Based on what we said she suggested Emma Reed to conduct the service. Emma went above and beyond and between herself and Natalie helped to start to heal us as a family. We will never forget what they have done for us and no words can express our gratitude.

  • 5 Steve Loveridge 28th Jan 2022

    My dad’s funeral was organised by Natalie. She and everyone else at Nigel Guilder’s were absolutely lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and we were very grateful for all their thoughtfulness and care. Natalie provided a very personal, friendly and professional service and we really appreciate all of her support, advice and recommendations. Thank you so much for making dad’s funeral a lovely and fitting tribute.

  • 5 Mary-Jane Maidment 25th Jan 2022

    Caring thoughtful helpful staff.
    Kept us in constant contact.

  • 5 Graham Martin 21st Jan 2022

    It was perfect. Nigel are his team took on and solved every aspect of the funeral leaving very little for me to do, but he also made me aware of the bits I had to do. Truly excellent service. 

  • 5 Robert Dyer 20th Jan 2022

    Nigel supported us when we most needed it and without fuss organised everything that needed to be done for the funeral in a very professional way.

  • 5 Kevin Cassey 11th Jan 2022

  • 5 Mike Archer 11th Jan 2022

    We could not have made a better choice than Nigel, Lucy and the team at the most painful and difficult time of our lives. They always showed us the utmost kindness and sensitivity and took the greatest care of our son Tom. They were always available, not restricting messages, emails or calls to standard office hours and this we found a great help. The funeral itself was planned with meticulous attention to detail and everything was as perfect as we could have wished for on the day itself. An outstanding company - we cannot speak highly enough of them.  

  • 5 Judith Day 11th Jan 2022

    Nigel couldn't have been more helpful in making all the arrangements at such a difficult time. He kept in contact leading up to the day of the funeral and everything was handled with sensitivity. Would highly recommend him.

  • 5 Heather Curtis 16th Dec 2021

    I’ve dealt with two other funeral directors in recent years in different areas of England and was certain that the standard of their service couldn’t be bettered. However, Guilders have proved me wrong. At the most difficult time of my life, Natalie and all members of staff showed a level of sensitivity almost unheard of these days. From the moment I first contacted them, Guilders were there for me, thinking ahead and solving problems almost before they occurred. As a result of their care and attention to detail throughout, I can look back at the day of my husband's funeral with love, pride and satisfaction - emotions I didn't expect to feel on such a sad occasion.

  • 5 Kye Marshall 10th Dec 2021

    Nigel and his staff were incredible, warm, caring and very informative.
    Funeral services were provided to a high standard and with out any fuss.
    I would highly recommend Nigel Guilder's services.
