    The funeral was everything that we hoped for, a true celebration of my mother’s life.

    Highly recommend.

  • 5 Christine Winter 30th Apr 2024

    Such a wonderful service Sherlocks provided, not only was it professionally arranged but so very personal, just perfect, they couldn’t have done more.  Thank you so much to you all x

  • 5 Joy Wilcox 29th Apr 2024

    Everything went just as I wanted it to be.
    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 Chris Lane 24th Apr 2024

    Can not thank them enough 

  • 5 Kim Best 20th Apr 2024

    Sherlocks helped me through my difficult time. My mother’s funeral went well, nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you Sherlocks.

  • 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.

  • 5 Claire Tutton 14th Feb 2024

    Sherlock's have supported me for both my parents now sadly, but they are a real support in what is a very hard time. They help with all you need to organise and approach everything in a respectful way. Our contact was quick to respond and on the day called to double check all was as expected and their gentlemen in charge of the service gave us, as a family, a real sense of security as they supported us through what needed to be done, but again in a respectful gentle and calm way. Thank you.

  • 5 Vanessa Ali Shah 7th Feb 2024

    We were very well looked after and nothing was too much trouble, which made the process so much easier.

  • 5 Pamela Hill 5th Feb 2024

  • 5 Keith Trow 3rd Feb 2024

    Everything was beautiful done

  • 5 Aimee Hall 3rd Feb 2024

    Very professional all the way through, Kelly has been such a great help through such a difficult time.
    The day went as smoothly and well as it could do.
    I would highly recommend Sherlocks to anyone. 

  • 5 Abi Hodges 2nd Feb 2024

    Sherlock’s couldn’t be more helpful. They are excellent at their roles. Totally supportive throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend them more highly.

  • 5 Tim Heaney 31st Jan 2024

    Professional and caring. Very grateful for their support.

  • 4 Keith Hellinger 19th Jan 2024

    Thanks for your help, the Ashes end of it was a little fraught but otherwise very helpful throughout what is quite an emotional time, best Keef

  • 5 Helen Christou 8th Jan 2024

    We cannot fault the service we have received from Sherlock Funeral Service. From the moment we notified them of our late mum's passing to the funeral day/service itself, we have only been shown compassion, empathy and professionalism at what has been a difficult and sad time. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sherlock Funeral Service to family and friends.
