Robert Cartwright 4th Aug 2021

Both Nigel and Bob were fantastic at arranging both my Mum and Dad's funerals, I would highly recommend them.

Raymond Pickett 22nd Jul 2021

We were using Nigel Guilder as our Dad had arranged a funeral plan with them. This was invaluable as it allowed us to plan the funeral to his preferences/ instructions. We were advised throughout by Bob Metcalf, from whether Dad wanted a viewing, the order of service, flowers, donations, set up of a web broadcast, the booking of the crematorium to the day itself. The funeral itself went very well, all the arrangements went like clockwork and were completed professionally. We felt comfortable throughout
