I dealt with Paul who was incredibly kind through out the planning. On the day the arrangements went like clockwork. Some of the mourners wrote to me to say that I’d set a very high bar for a funeral. That was down to the caring ethos at Littleprouds, it can’t be faked

Littleprouds provide such a caring personal service. I cannot fault Julie or Adrian for their kind and amazing help at such a difficult time. Everything is done quietly without any fuss and to such a high standard. I really could not recommend them more highly nor thank them enough

We used Littleproud & Son for both my father and mother, and were pleased with the friendly efficient service provided. They made you feel very relaxed and provided a very personal service

    The vicar said that when they were told Littleproud & Son were directing the funeral arrangements they knew that all aspects would have been considered and all would run smoothly. Which was not something they could say about other firms.
