Nigel, Lucy and Natalie were all very helpful, friendly and professional throughout our journey with them. They kept us informed and talked through things with empathy and kindness. Although they deal with many funerals they have the gift of treating each family as individual. Our family is very grateful and appreciative of the excellent care we and our much loved mum, granny and great granny were given.

  • 5 Joanne Blackman 23rd Nov 2021

    We originally spoke to Nigel on the phone, who was extremely helpful and went though the whole process and allowed us to ask many  questions that we had. He was very patient and understanding which was comforting in a difficult process
    We dealt with Natalie with our arrangements and she again was very patient and kind   She answered all our questions be it via email or the telephone. She set up a tribute page which allowed us to send all the funeral arrangements in one link aswell as allowing people to donate to our chosen charity & share memories, this was a great help.  Natalie was very calm on the day and made us feel at ease on such a difficult day. We were put in touch with an amazing celebrant who made organising the service so much easier   We would highly recommend Nigel Guider for a personal and thoughtful service. 

  • 5 Donald Sutherland 16th Nov 2021

    The best service from Nigel, he did a fantastic job the staff behind the scenes as well. I lost my wife too early we made our 50th wedding anniversary but not Christmas. Nigel and his team including the catering were superb. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Donald Sutherland.

  • 5 Geoff Law 4th Oct 2021

    Whilst seeking estimates for a cremation only, no attendees for my late wife, I contacted several undertakers in the area and when I finally contacted Nigel Guilders and spoke to them I was immediately struck by there compassion for our loss. The quote I received which included services for free that others were charging for, I decided to use them. Their help and advice made things easier at such a stressful time for which I am extremely grateful. Stay as an Independent Nigel, you offer a better service than the others.

  • 5 Steve Dannan 20th Sep 2021

  • 5 Tim Wavell 24th Aug 2021

    We used Nigel Guilder's when Dad died in 2017 as they were just across the road from Mum & Dad's flat. We were so impressed with the professional service and attention to detail that we had no hesitation in asking Nigel Guilder again when Mum died last month.

    Nigel Guilder's were again extremely professional, reassuring and paid great attention to every little detail every step of the way.

    Highly recommended.
