I cannot thank Littleproud enough for their work handling my late Father's funeral and interment. Unless you have experienced handling the passing of a loved on you don't know what to do, where to start. In one respect My Father s passing was not unexpected and I had a day or two, at least, to find and try and contact Dad's chosen funeral directors. But they had changed hands and my contact attempts were fraught. A close friend of Dad's suggested I contact Littleproud who took the plan details and agreed to collet Dad when the time arrived. EVEN though they may not end up handling the funeral. From that point Paul at Littleproud handled everything. Thank you Paul and all your staff.

  • 5 Dave Caffyn 7th Oct 2022

    Losing a parent is an emotional experience and following the death of our father we had no hesitation in engaging Littleproud & Son to take care of his final journey. Having previously witnessed their empathy and professionalism whilst handling the funeral of our mother many years ago the decision to employ their services was a given. Every step of the way we were kept informed and advised of what we needed to do, taking the worry away from what was a difficult time. To say that it was a pleasure dealing with this company doesn't sound right but in essence it was. Highly recommended

    Brilliant service. Nothing is to much trouble. Would absolutely recommend.
