    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.

  • 5 Gary Lane 13th Nov 2021

    Very compassionate, understanding and thoroughly professional from start to finish. Sherlock and Sons take the stress out of the arrangements and help you every step of the way. Lovely kind people.

  • 5 Chris Arnot 9th Nov 2021

    Sherlock Funeral Service conducted my Mother's funeral in 1998. and when my husband Roy passed away on 21 August, it was to Sherlock's I naturally turned to, as they had given such excellent service before. Clive is exceptional in his role as Funeral Director - extremely caring, compassionate and supportive. Together with the rest of the team you feel instantly reassured that all will be well with the arrangements and the attention to detail is second to none. You have complete confidence in them to do the very best for you and the family at this difficult and challenging time.

  • 5 Kirsty Bagge 2nd Nov 2021

    My family and I felt so cared for from the first phone call, to our  meetings, and to the two days we needed their services. The help in this most difficult time was both respectful and diligent whilst we overcame our family loss. 

  • 5 Marie Baker 31st Oct 2021

    From our first phone call to Sherlocks they were extremely sympathetic and caring.  We had an appointment with Maria to arrange the service and she was incredibly helpful and kind.  Everything went according to plan on the day and Clive and his team could not have been more considerate.  I really recommend Sherlocks.
