    To all at Waters and Sons,
    I'm so glad I chose you. I was very nervous about arranging a funeral for my friend Jean but you put me at ease the moment I walked in.
    Very friendly but professional and nothing was too much trouble. Really appreciate
    the care and understanding you showed.
    Also thank you so much to Liza, the eulogy and poem were perfect.
    Many thanks,
    Michelle Chandler.

    Waters and Sons gave the most excellent service to us in a difficult time. Their compassion and personal touch gave us peace of mind. The day of the funeral all the gentlemen were professional and explained everything that would happen in detail. This allowed us to have a beautiful send-off. David was especially helpful and amazing. He gave such a personal touch that we felt so comfortable from the moment they came to our house to the final goodbye. I would happily and expressly recommend them without hesitation.

    From the moment Waters & Sons collected my sister-in-law right up until the cremation I found them to be efficient, caring, compassionate and understanding. Alison and Jason at the Sholing branch made a terrible situation more bearable for us as a family and guided us through a very dark time. Nothing was too much trouble and no question too small or insignificant. My heartfelt gratitude to you all, thank you.

  • 5 Heather Robinson 16th Jul 2023

    You can feel the compassion and expertise that all the team have. We were greeted and made to feel welcome straight away. Their building has a cosy feel.
    On the day, we felt like Simon and Craig made the service and process run smoothly. Organising a recovey truck and an ambulance to take dad on his last drive! Amazing. Highly recommend their services.

    Waters and Sons have been nothing but brilliant in helping manage my mums funeral. They made things easier when times were tough and made all the necessary arrangements in a very understanding and caring manor. Highly recommended, thank you! 

  • 5 Donna Denton 3rd Feb 2023

    What an incredible service. Alison kept us updated by email and answered my endless questions with patience and compassion. David was kind and considerate and made a great cup of tea. 
    Simon sussed us out from the minute we walked through the door. He clearly loves his job and as a result was able to recommend things that fitted perfectly with our wishes. 
    Simon suggested our celebrant be Liza Barber. He felt she would fit with our personalities and he wasn’t wrong. She gave us her undivided attention and captured our dad beautifully. 
    Huge thanks to you all for making Dads funeral the celebration we hoped it would be.
