Amazing and very professional. They couldn't do enough for us as a family. Everything we wanted was achieved.  I would recommend very highly.  Ross Bradley 

Nick Lacey 10th May 2017

Richard guided us through a difficult time for all of us and dealt with everything in a highly professional way while always understanding what we were going through. His staff were of the same standard and nothing was too much trouble or any issue too trivial not to be dealt with properly and quickly.

John Lane 30th Apr 2017

We are extremely grateful to Richard Ward for his sensitivity and for meeting all our requests as he guided us throughout the planning and arrangements for John's funeral. He gave us the time we needed to think by making a number of arrangements in a very short time. It is not possible to thank him and his staff enough for their care and sensitivity on the day when they were extremely attentive and managed everything calmly and efficiently. Their organisation was very thorough meaning each part of the day ran smoothly which was extremely impressive when we saw the support in the church for John. We would like to thank Richard and everyone in this excellent team for all their care and would always recommend their services to others.

    I first became aware of Richard Ward when they dealt with my Aunt, and when I sadly lost my sister I had no hesitation in turning to Richard Wards. My main contact was Annie and she has been wonderful she is efficient, caring and made sure all my concerns were dealt with without hesitation. Also Naomi was brilliant making sure the Order of service was exactly to my specifications and assisting when family members came to pay respects.
    Even the owner Mr Ward offered to remain open for a family member so they could visit after work. I have no hesitation whatsoever in rating them excellent. Finally I loved the fact that their premises were bright and contemporary, not the usual dark dull subdued like all other undertakers, that really was one thing I found comforting as I didn't want to be in a dark gloomy room, the loss itself is bad enough without walking into more darkness. So well done and thank you all at Richard Wards
