Sherlocks were incredible from the first meeting to the service. Such kindness and professionalism and we felt so taken care of and held during what is such a difficult time. They enabled us to give Dad the send off he would have wanted and been proud of. The Celebrant Lum ‘Rhin they connected us with was very special too. She did an amazing job. And looked after us all so well. We would highly recommended Sherlocks.

Sherlocks were very compassionate,understanding and professional. Angela, Maria and Clive made a very stressful time easier to bare. Nothing was to much trouble and everything went smoothly on the day. On behalf of myself and my sons I thank you for your wonderful service.  Karen Clarke

    Sherlocks in Dorking have dealt with many of my family funerals over the years and they always provide an excellent service. Sadly on this occasion it was for my husband Trevor. The trust I have gained in them never falters. Once again many thanks go to them for the kind and compassionate way everything was dealt with.

  • 5 Simon Rogers 22nd Nov 2021

    I walked in off the street the day after my dad passed away not knowing what to do or who to contact. Angela opened the door to me, sat me down, listened to me and assured me everything will be taken care of.
    Without that help from Angela & the support of Sherlock Funeral Service, recent events would of been harder for me to deal with.
