  • 5 Neil Cliff 12th Feb 2025

    Very helpful very available areal empathy with those who are having a very difficult time
    But hopefully you will sort out the venue people, that was the only mistake not your fault and frankly probably not noticed by anyone but Amy had set her mind on the funeral music and would have been unhappy that there was no Louis Armstrong

  • 5 Stephen Dack 12th Feb 2025

    The care and respect given by Paul and co was excellent. They helped sorting out everything quickly and efficiently as the arrangements were being done just before Christmas so thank you. I have attended other funerals where Paul has been and you can see how much he is respected and the excellent service he gives to everyone.

  • 5 Maxine Corder 31st Oct 2024

    I cannot speak highly enough of Littleproud & Son and their care, attention to detail, professionalism and true, heartfelt sympathy they showed me and my family. Paul and his staff were brilliant throughout my contact with them. From registering my husband’s death, arranging his funeral, the service itself and finally interring his ashes, they were absolutely perfect. Nothing was too much trouble and every contact I had with them was a positive experience. Our family has used their services for many years now and will continue to do so as their professional yet very personal touch is exactly what you need at a difficult time. Thank you to Paul Littleproud and all his staff.
