Colin Wreglesworth 2nd Mar 2018

Fielders took care of everything, including the wake, and it was all done with upmost care and dignity from start to finish at a very difficult time. Excellent communication and we couldn't fault and would strongly recommend.

Madeline Dixon 2nd Mar 2018

A highly professional service. Always very helpful,sympathetic and prompt to answer queries. Sorted my mothers funeral in 8 days. Listened to us, the client, and reassured us that we were in the driving seat and were not expected to follow a fixed or traditional service. They would endeavour to make everything how we wanted.

    The recent sudden death of my husband was the most traumatic and stressful event I have lived through. From the first phone call in a shocked and dazed state they helped my son and I through a process that no one ever wants to have to go through.
    Chris was kind thoughtful and helpful and we were able to trust him and his team with not only all the formalities but the personal requests worries or concerns that cropped up.
    They enabled us to say our goodbyes and have the service we needed.
    Thank you. Jane

    Fielders were fantastic, especially Keith Houlston. My parents died within nine weeks of each other and Fielders were with me and my family every step of the way.  Having never organised a funeral and being an only child the whole firm extended every support we needed. Thank you all so much. Liz Freeman
