Lisa Heeley 14th Oct 2020

Well what can I say. It was the first funeral I have ever had to arrange and a hard one as it was my mother's. I was petrified as you can imagine. I needn't have worried. Firstly I met Jan and she was lovely. She went through everything from type of service music order of service and the flowers which she even arranged. She personally picked my mom up from the hospital and called me when she had done so. She gave me bullet points regarding the eulogy and gave me a choice of a minister or their very own Gary who I chose and I'm so glad I did. A couple of days later Gary called me and I went up to meet him with to discuss the service with my daughter. He was very empathetic and we chatted about my mom . He was very interested in what I wrote in the eulogy which he said was lovely written and would not have to change anything. We felt so welcome and calm . Chamberlains emailed everything over from the layout of the order of service and finished eulogy slightly tweaked. Gary also got in touch with the tenants association where she lived and did a dummy run. On the day he and the driver picked us up and joined the hearse where he escorted my mom there on. The service was delivered beautifully and everyone who attended said how wonderful Gary was. We were driven back to my moms home afterwards and chatted to him and the driver for a good ten minutes . Chamberlains made a terrible situation into an much easier and bearable one . Our family cannot thank them enough for what they did we are eternally grateful. We feel like we met them as strangers and left as friends . As long as they are there I know that if unhappiness strikes again I will turn to them one hundred percent and know I wont have to worry about a thing.

  • 5 Hannah Ainge 15th Jul 2020

    Really wish i could give more than 5stars. I have never came across a funeral directors like Chamberlains. From the moment i rang up to enquire about my brothers funeral (which is by far the hardest thing i have ever had to do) a lovely helpful lady called Jan anwered, i knew straight away this was the place to choose. I then met the manager Gary. Seriously i was blown away how nice and caring he was. You can see how passionate he is about his job. I knew then my brother was in the best hands with Chamberlains. From start to finish i can't fault this place and from the bottom of my heart i want to say a massive thank you to both Gary & Jan from me and Brendans family for everything you did for us. We 100% recommend using Chamberlains you get nothing the best x

    Gary and the Chamberlains team went above and beyond in leading my sisters and I through one of the most difficult periods in our lives in arranging our Dad’s funeral. From the first consultation to the day of the funeral our minds were completely put at rest, nothing was too much trouble and we were kept informed of every step of the process. My family and I won’t hesitate in recommending Chamberlains’s to all our family and friends. Exceptional service.

    The service we received from Gary and the team was amazing. I had never arranged a funeral before and didn't have a clue where to start. Gary from the beginning made the whole process easy. Mom certainly had the send off she deserved.
    I highly recommend Chamberlains to anyone. Great company who care about the family and make sure they know all options available for their loved one's funeral.

I was struggling to get my brother repatriated and Gary went above and beyond to help me. I'm so grateful to him and his team for everything they have done for us. The service we have received has been absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gary and his team to anyone looking for a funeral director. Thank you, Gary from Karina & family.

  • 5 Paul Bird 23rd Aug 2019

    Selecting a funeral director is a difficult decision taken at what is invariably a vulnerable time. We chose to visit Chamberlains to handle the funeral of my sister in law with no prior knowledge of their capability. Within a few minutes of meeting Gary we knew we were in safe hands. All aspects of the arrangements were handled with compassion and total professionalism. Everyone who commented on the funeral expressed how impressed they were with the excellent service and respect that Chamberlains provided.
    Many thanks Gary to you and your team.

  • 5 Long Diep 4th Aug 2019

    Gary and his team have been professional throughout our sad time. 

    The excellent service provided by chamberlains has taken all the worry out of organising the funeral. From start to finish, we were provided with guidance on the next step of the funeral allowing us not to worry about what to do next.

    Every contact with the team has left us appreciative of the obvious competency of every member of staff we met.

    Thank you Gary and your team, you are a credit to your profession. 

    Gary Lewis replied
    Thank you Long. We really appreciate the five star review and positive feedback.
  • 5 Stacey Walker 18th Jul 2019

    Chamberlains done our family so proud! 
    The care and compassion received from Gary was second to none, and the assistance and ease he gave us all throughout has been a blessing. Nothing was too much trouble and we were updated through every step of the process, as progression was made with arrangements etc.
    I would highly recommend Gary and his team to care for your loved one on their final journey home. 
    Thank you so much for everything!

    Thank you so much Stacey for this heart felt review. It is much appreciated.

  • 5 Andrea Melvin 7th Jun 2019

    We lost our mom in February 2019 which  devastated us as a family.  Chamberlins was recommended to us by a friend and it was the best decision we ever made. From the very start Gary and Jan talked us through ever step of the way always making sure our wishes were fulfilled.  I can’t praise Chamberlins enough for their compassion and professionalism and would highly recommend.
    Once again thank you Gary and your team x

    Gary Lewis replied
    Thank you for the wonderful review Andrea. It is gratefully received.
  • 5 Chris Hutchinson 12th Feb 2019

    After losing my mother on the 13th December i was totally daunted by the process of arranging a funeral, As you can imagine i was devastated at the loss of my mom.After visiting Chamberlins i was totally put at ease by Gary and Jan who helped me through the whole process. I was kept informed from start to finish. unfortunately my mother had not taken out life insurance so the cost had to go to myself and my brother i was worried at the time that i couldn't afford a decent send of for my mom,How wrong i was.Gary gave me various options with no hard sell at all and the service was beautiful..Gary the manager is a very caring and respectful man who delivered a very moving and personal dedication to my mother on the day of the funeral.I have rated them 5 stars i only wish i could rate them 20 stars.Many thanks Gary and Jan for all you did for me and my family.
