Many thanks to Nathan and his team who were all very helpful, understanding and compassionate at this very difficult time. It is a situation when you need someone to take charge and Nathan did an admirable job. The service and professionalism on the day was second to none. Highly recommended.

David Gaunt 28th Mar 2023

Viners handled our recent bereavement in the most professional manner and would highly recommend their services. 

Sue Eltringham 27th Mar 2023

Kerrie at Viners was excellent at helping us plan our Uncle's funeral. When we took personal items for him to take with him, Kerrie was thoughtful and patient as we explained why each item was special to my Uncle. On the day of the cremation all of the staff were professional, incredibly smart and very, very respectful. As a family , we have nothing but praise for Viner & Sons

    We didn’t need to worry about a thing, we were perfectly guided through everything. Thank you for making such a difficult event easier 

  • 5 Rose Placsom 23rd Mar 2023

    At a time of losing someone so very close to us, Viner and Sons helped us see through the fog of grief and the emotional rollercoaster to be able to arrange the funeral. Their personal and professional support led us to what can only be described as a class 1 send off.  From the initial looking after our loved one, the advice and options that were available right through to the actual funeral was staggeringly impressive and detailed. The courtesy and respect from all of the team is so very fine tuned, the funeral day itself was seamless and without any issues. I will highly recommend Viner and sons in that certain time of need without any hesitation.
