  • 5 Mrs R Whisson 18th Dec 2020

    Listened and gave prompt attention to our requirements for the funeral.  Very helpful with arrangements and suggestions as to format of service. Good communications throughout the process and afterwards.  Arrived on time on the day of funeral and all went to plan. Duties all carried out with respect and care. Susan Whymark Funeral Services Ltd lifted a lot of the burden of preparing for a funeral at such a difficult time for the family.  We were grateful for their support and help. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. Thank you.

  • 5 Mrs A Lacovazzo 18th Sep 2020

    I was fortunate enough to be able to use Susan Whymark Funeral Services Ltd for both my parents funerals. 

    In 2007 my father passed away after a long illness. Both my mother and I were struck at how sensitively, kindly and efficiently everything was dealt with. We were also struck at how reasonable the costs were in comparison to the experiences of other people we spoke to.

    Sadly, more recently my mother passed away. I talked through the kind of service I wanted with Susan and was given a lot of support at such a difficult time. Social distancing had to be respected and those attending had to wear masks but despite this it was a lovely service and again I am so grateful for the kindness and sensitivity I was shown at such a difficult time. Everything was exactly as my mother would have wanted it.

  • 5 Elaine Hayes 17th Sep 2020

    The whole process was made simple by the excellent team.  Having never been put at the forefront of arranging a funeral, initially I was daunted by the prospect, but Mandy helped us in the planning, visiting us at home, making the arrangements for the crematorium and service.  Every time I contacted her, I received a quick reply and always received a personal and friendly service.  We never felt rushed or pressured to do anything.  Mandy is easy to talk to and sympathetic and understanding to our needs.

    I would Highly recommend Susan Whymark Funeral Services, especially in these strange times of social distancing.

  • 5 Mr C Walker 17th Sep 2020

  • 5 Mrs S Amies 10th Sep 2020


    Mandy at Susan Whymarks  was incredibly helpful and understanding. We arranged a very simple,  very small cremation service for Dad. Mandy was supportive, understanding and very kind. A very difficult time was made easier by the kindness and thoughtfulness from everyone at Susan Whymarks Funeral Services.

    All the staff at Susan Whymark were very professional, efficient and understanding. They took care of everything and nothing was too much trouble. We really appreciated their advice which meant that we could carry out most of our mother's wishes despite the Covid 19 restrictions. Even with the restrictions we felt everything was carried out with great respect and dignity and our mother's funeral service was a very personal and comforting experience for us all. Thank you all for such an excellent service at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Mr T Day 3rd Jul 2020

    Susan and her team could not have done a better job. My father died during the COVID-19 lockdown, which did not makes things easy, but they were caring, understanding, practical and flexible about all the arrangements. Susan Whymark and her team have achieved that rare blend of compassion and professionalism - my mother and I could not recommend them more highly.

  • 5 Mrs J McEwan 3rd Jul 2020

    Faultless

  • 5 Mrs R Abbott 3rd Jul 2020

    We needed the services of Susan Whymark following the death of my father in May. I was worried about how this could be arranged as I live a long way from Norfolk and other family members were unable to travel or meet during the coronavirus lockdown. With the support of Mandy, we decided the safest option would be an unattended cremation.

    Initially I felt quite distraught at the prospect of my beloved Dad going to the crematorium unaccompanied by any of his family, until my sister reminded me that Susan would be going with him and she was sure he would have been happy with that.

    Susan Whymark directed funeral services for my mother and sister in 2010 and 2017, and I felt completely confident that my Dad’s last journey would be handled with the same level of dignity and respect, combined with the kindness and good humour we had experienced in the past.

    I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services.
