  • 5 Lisa Bray 8th Jun 2024

    I cannot thank the team at Sherlocks enough.
    The service that they have provided to me over the last few weeks has been amazing with such  great care, respect,  and heart felt kindness. Their attention to detail has been second to none. 
    Nothing has been too much trouble and I would highly recommend them.  
    They certainly made a very difficult and sad time  for me a lot easier in taking care of everything so beautifully and professionally.  

  • 5 Sheila Budd 4th Jun 2024

    Kind and compassionate staff. Everything was dealt with calm and efficiently. There was a hiccup prior to the service by the late arrival of mother from care home, but everything was handled so well without drama. Thankyou everyone at Sherlocks 

  • 5 Andrew Varley 2nd Jun 2024

    I had to organise the funeral for my brother from Ireland but this was no issue - everything worked perfectly and easily. Sherlock really are the perfect “one stop shop” who liase with the Celebrant , Flower shop and crematorium. Making everything work seamlessly.   Thank you Sherlocks 

  • 5 Debbie Rochford 28th May 2024

    We received a fantastic service from Sherlocks for my wonderful late husband.

    They were very kind & dignified and informed us of all our options and requirements.

    His service was managed in the best possible way.

    I would like to thank everyone at Sherlocks. Especially Angela for all her help and for her choice of Celebrant Jay Howells. Who was the best person for the tribute to my husband Barry Dawson.

  • 5 Patricia Hand 27th May 2024

  • 5 Mark Rogerson 25th May 2024

    Can't fault Sherlock Funeral Service at all, they are excellent.

  • 5 Jane Harrison 24th May 2024

    Maria at Sherlock was extremely kind & helpful, we chose a beautiful bamboo coffin, the service sheet was proofed and reproofed until we were completely satisfied & the local florist they suggested provided beautiful flowers.  The celebrant Lum’Rhin worked closely with us to deliver a service which struck exactly the right note, suggested suitable ideas & provide bluebells at the crematorium!  The whole service could not have been better & was just as we had imagined.  Thank you.

  • 5 Brian Wilcox 18th May 2024

    Maria, from Sherlock’s in Dorking, was excellent in guiding us through the process, advice on the Order of Service, timings and ancillary issues. 
    The proofing of the Order of Service and scanning in of photographs helped considerably.
    Their representative at the Crematorium was extremely well organised, put us at ease and ensured that everything went smoothly. Very professional.
    Thank you

  • 5 Michaela Mercuri 12th May 2024

    Sherlock Funeral Service was amazing and took care of all the arrangements for my father's funeral with sensitivity and efficiency. Kelly dealt with all our my enquires in a very personal and patient manner. The funeral was everything we wanted it to be. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

  • 5 Alison Smith 7th May 2024

    The help and advice provided by Sherlock funeral service were excellent. They guided us through the whole process with courtesy and respect.
    The funeral was everything that we hoped for, a true celebration of my mother’s life.

  • 5 Joy Wilcox 29th Apr 2024

    I had excellent support from the office, Maria in the planning, including the florist who took the brief perfectly for the funeral and the wake.
    Many thanks indeed.

  • 5 Karl Pople 18th Apr 2024

    Sherlocks again were brilliant, so understanding and organised. Kelly and Maria were so helpful. David our chauffeur was excellent.

  • 5 Michael Calvert 16th Apr 2024

    everything went according to plan.

  • 5 Penny Hughes 23rd Mar 2024

    Kelly and the team were recommended by both friends and family and I couldn’t have chosen better.  They were kind and compassionate whilst providing the most professional service.  Nothing was too much trouble, we were never ever made to feel rushed during the whole process.  The funeral was wonderfully traditional as per our wishes,  and the small touches they suggested were just perfect.  I would highly recommend Sherlocks to take care of your loved one on their final journey.  

  • 5 Christopher Tomaszewski 18th Mar 2024

    I couldn't have been supported more in my time of grief. Sherlocks took on as much or as little of the admin work as I wished to pass over. They were considerate, polite and prompt.
    I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who would like their loved one to be cared for with consideration and dignity.

  • 5 Margaret Cadman 11th Mar 2024

    It went very well, everyone said it was a lovely service.
    Kelly was really caring, helpful, etc.
    After the service the person telling me what to do(sorry I don’t remember his name) was very good too.

  • 5 Julie Thompson 5th Mar 2024

    Excellent service. Clear directions at all times and caring and friendly. Would definitely recommend them. 

  • 5 Fiona Butler 5th Mar 2024

    We have found the whole process from the initial meeting right through to the delivery of the service and graveside to be excellent.
     We were treated with compassion and understanding and there was respect for our uncle and the wishes of our family throughout.
