I don't really want to comment much as the service in the past has always been very good. I think the problems we had this time were probably 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I was under a time pressure to get funeral done and you were very busy. Communication was sometimes difficult bit once the arrangements were settled all went smoothly. Many thanks Anita Milam

The staff fully understand that I needed a lot of support during a difficult time, from the discussion of the plan for the funeral, through to viewing at the chapel of rest and the day of the funeral to all related admin and paperwork. I felt they have dealt with it all professionally and satisfactorily.

  • 5 Sarah Bogle 8th Apr 2024

    I had quite a complicated 'tailored package' that involved long distance transport, further disrupted by the coroner's requirement for a postmortem and many moving parts. The service I received was excellent, always calm, reassuring and efficient - Wendi in particular went the extra mile to help with all the many queries that came through and was very professional. Thank you

  • 5 Alan Cole 8th Apr 2024

  • 5 Kevin Hemming 8th Apr 2024

  • 5 Tina Brazier 25th Mar 2024

  • 5 Janet Paterson 18th Mar 2024

  • 5 Karen Beacham 11th Mar 2024

    The initial meeting was pretty chaotic and not what I was expecting. The girl who tried to help me arrange the funeral was from a different branch and lacked empathy and did not give me all the information or options avaiable, there were further problems because I paid for embalming but 'I didn't tick the box' (my fault?)
    This caused me more upset and the fact of not knowing where my husband's body was.
    Thankfully, as soon as Darren returned everything was sorted out!
    I understand this was
    because they were short staffed and Darren was off sick.
    Darren is absolutely the best!
    He is so kind and caring.
    I feel he went above and beyond his duties as a funeral director. He was so helpful and understanding of the situation.
    He found us the perfect celebrant and the funeral went well.
    I can't praise him enough. I wish all your staff were as lovely as him.

  • 5 Paul Mills 27th Feb 2024

    This is the 2nd time l have used Bevis Funeral care. Everything was perfect even the weather was good as it was at the grave side. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you

  • 5 Wendy Johnson 27th Feb 2024

    The empathy and kindness I was shown and the professional and respectful manner in which my mother’s funeral arrangements were carried out made the whole event so much easier for me. From the initial meeting with Lisa, who guided me through the details, organising the Minister and organist and keeping in touch with me on a regular basis to see if I had any queries and Darren who gently and sympathetically talked me through the details of the procedure  in advance of the actual burial day itself and who conducted the event with such respect and professionalism. Also the team who attended on the day, the lovely and helpful young lady who drove myself and some of my family in the limousine that followed the hearse and the young men who, despite the dreadful weather on the day, turned out smartly to carry my mother’s coffin and lower her into her final resting place. Thanks to the whole of the  team and to my mother herself who had the foresight some years ago to organise and pay for a funeral plan for herself to avoid her family any further anguish and expense when her time came.

    It was a relief to be able to pass everything over and know that your requests would be given every attention, we have used Beavis’s services for the family several times over the years and have always received courtesy, sympathy and dignity for the deceased, nothing was too much trouble for them and they gave my sincere and grateful thanks. 

  • 4 Angela Norton 26th Feb 2024

    Darren was very professional and caring on the day. Nothing was too much trouble. 
    David Adcock was a truly remarkable celebrant.

    Communication with main office sometimes difficult.

  • 4 Ann Wrigley 26th Feb 2024

    Lisa and Sarah helped with the initial arrangements and were helpful and efficient.
    The lady who took the payment for the funeral on our second visit to the office was efficient enough but not very friendly.
    The flowers were not all red roses as we had ordered and we were not informed of this until we arrived for the funeral itself.
    I am due a refund for the difference in price which was confirmed by Darren but now over two weeks since the funeral and no refund has been received.

  • 5 Peter White 26th Feb 2024

    They are so kind and helpful. I could not wish for a better service for my brother.

    They organized everything from start to completion with no fuss or bother. I would most certainly recommend them.

  • 5 Margaret Smith 19th Feb 2024

    Excellent service particularly by Darren, who I felt went the extra mile.

  • 5 Sally Miles 5th Feb 2024

  • 5 Kelly Best 31st Jan 2024

    We could not fault Beavis Funeral Care throughout from the beginning of Our Visits and Planning of Ashley's Funeral. To the actual Day of Service. Which was everything that Ashley was. Also Victoria Wesley Celebrant had got Ashley down to a tee just from listening to Us ready for His Celebration. You would have thought She would have known Ashley. As everything was amazing, and all the Funeral Arrangers were lovely and caring.

  • 5 Jill Adams 30th Jan 2024

    I can’t speak highly enough for Lisa and the team at your Shirley Southampton branch .
    The professional service that myself and family received made the very sad time bearable for us . 
    Nothing was to much trouble , the care and compassion that was shown to my beloved Dad from the first moment to the last Will stay with me forever.
    Thank you from myself and my family for your kindness … 

  • 5 Jean Humby 23rd Jan 2024

    Everything went to plan as requested.

  • 5 Sally Jackson 15th Jan 2024

    I can't fault the service we got from the staff, brilliant from start to finish. The staff kept in contact with us every step of the way. Lisa made us feel very comfortable and couldn't of been more helpful.
