    First class they made a dreadful time so much easier to deal with.
    Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way for me to have the celebration of my husband's funeral the way I wanted it to be.

    We have used New Forest Funerals four times now and they always go above and beyond every time.
    They are so kind and compassionate from start to finish and I would 100% recommend to anyone having to go through the funeral process 

  • 5 Alex Band 11th Nov 2024

    Nothing was too much trouble . The attention to detail for our late mum was amazing even down to wearing colours my mum liked. Was all made stress free and had a real personal touch for the family. Would highly recommend.

  • 5 Ian Parkes 11th Oct 2024

    From the first point of contact the warm and friendly service received was beyond what we were expecting, everything we asked for was executed with the upmost of respect, we can’t thank New Forest Funerals enough for what they done from start to finish “Excellent Service”

  • 5 Graham Nelson 1st Sep 2024

    New Forest Funerals were excellent and made the planning and organising of a funeral easy. Taking care when needed and going beyond. They called to double check all plans and gave my dad the best goodbye! Thanks for everything 

  • 5 Tracy Norman 30th Jul 2024

    Us as a family highly recommend New Forest Funerals for the support and care we had for the last four weeks with our mum… attention to detail and explaining things to us at a difficult time. Thank you 

  • 5 Robert Mullen 10th Jun 2024

    At the worst time in my life losing my wife I will say that Mandie, Martin and their team of people gave me an absolutely superb professional service, coupled with such compassion, dignity and kindness they did everything I asked for and guided me through a horrible journey making sure that my wife was cared for and all our wishes were granted. Without doubt New Forest Funerals give you more than just a 5 star service, they look after you which is something you need at such a difficult time.
    Thank you , Rob and family

  • 5 Henry Jones 12th May 2024

    Martin and Mandy have been so kind, professional, respectful and clear through this whole process. They looked after my dad with so much respect and treated his funeral as if it was someone they knew personally. I can not recommend them more. We traveled from Bournemouth to use them and they really are special people. 

  • 5 Carl Short 25th Apr 2024

    Martin and Mandy provided an exceptional service during a very difficult time for our family. We were grateful as their professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail unfurled during the most unwelcome process. 

    Very happy we chose the independent team at New Forest Funerals, after initial consultation with several local options. 

    Thank you Martin; whilst we hold you in a position of high regard, I rather hope we never meet again (officially). 

  • 5 James Hislop 25th Mar 2024

    We can't recommend New Forest Funerals highly enough. Martin and Mandie took care of everything with sensitivity and great care. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. We found them very kind, but also very organised. Everything in the run-up to the funeral and on the day itself went very smoothly. It's a sad time for everyone and the last thing you want is for there to be stress about how things will be arranged. After consulting us with great care, they made sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about in that regard. A really good company. Thank you.

  • 5 Tina Moores 19th Mar 2024

    A very professional, compassionate and caring business where nothing is too much. Both Martin and Mandie made such a deeply upsetting process easier to go through. I highly recommend this company and am very grateful for everything they did.

  • 5 Maria Barnard 24th Sep 2023

    Thank you for making the hardest day of our lives, alittle easier

  • 5 Una Ratcliffe 4th Aug 2023

    New Forest Funerals was recommended to us, and now we know why! The respect that has been shown to both our deceased Mum and to ourselves was beyond compare. They guided us through every step with kindness and understanding, giving us time and never rushing us.

    On the day of the funeral itself, everything was done so beautifully it was carried out with dignity, sympathy and solemnity, and all as we'd requested as a family.

    Thank you Martin and Mandie. I think Lucy would have loved it! She loved a good funeral - and she certainly had that.

  • 5 Alex Farrow 28th Jun 2023

    Loosing my fantastic Mum was the most difficult thing I have ever faced, Honestly I did not know where to start or who to turn to when it came to making arrangements but chose to speak to Mandie at New Forest Funerals, and I am so glad that I did.
    Mandie was very helpful and caring even before we chose to use New Forest Funerals. Once the decision had been made she was so incredibly helpful guiding me through the process and I felt that she was able to genuinely understand what I wanted and what was right for my Mum. It took allot for me to trust my Mums care to someone but had every confidence in Mandie and the team. I will be forever grateful for their support in the hardest of times for me. Thank you! 

    Mandie Pidgley replied
    Alex,
    Thankyou so much for the lovely review, We know how hard this was for you to write and am glad that you felt We understood you and could help make Mum's service what you wanted, it really was a privilege to be trusted with your lovely Mum, We know she meant so much to you.
  • 5 Philip Appleyard 21st Apr 2023

    Many thanks to Mandie and Martin (and celebrant Julia) for looking after us so well and ensuring my wife's farewell was handled so sensitively and professionally. Nothing was too much trouble and we have had many comments from friends and relatives on how beautiful the service was.

  • 5 Andrea Kehoe 16th Apr 2023

    Mandie and Martin were fantastic and so helpful.  Nothing was too much trouble, and a (very) last minute scramble caused by my lapse in memory to ensure the committal of my mother went beautifully was handled gracefully and calmly. 

    Cannot thank them enough.  

  • 5 Judy Obee 22nd Jan 2023
