    We have recently worked with Sherlock Funeral Service to organise the funeral for our dear Mum. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail truly stood out.

We would highly recommend this funeral director to anyone in need of their services during such a challenging period.

    Very helpful  in what were somewhat difficult circumstances ( trying to co- ordinate an out- of -the area clergy person, a church administrator who was on holiday and the crematorium).

  • 5 lydia Mccann 28th Aug 2023

    I would highly recommend Sherlocks, right from the first moment I met Adam who was picking my Mum up after her death, to meeting Kelly in the Office, and then all the lovely men that drove us and helped us to carry Mum on her funeral, we were treated with such gentle respect and patience…I will never forget how lovely and efficient the whole team are. I’m very grateful

    A first rate service from start to finish. Provided for everything we asked for in an efficient manner.

    A very professional operation throughout - thank you!

    What lovely people who work for Sherlock's. It couldn't have been more fitting for my father.

  • 5 Leslie Holloway 21st May 2023

    My family have used Sherlock's for more years than I care to remember, and they have always provided a superb, efficient and caring service. Christine's funeral was no different and knowing that all the details would be dealt with in such a professional and compassionate way relieved us of much of the anxiety at a very stressful time. My Family and I really cannot thank them enough.


    Leslie Holloway.
