5 Jill Cox 16th Aug 2024

We will always feel so fortunate that when faced with such a sad time in our lives that Safe Hands was there to support us. When Carol, my sister, passed away we turned to Penny and her team to guide and advise us. They did this with clarity, patience and professionalism; but, most of all, with empathy and caring. We felt that Carol was loved and respected. We were able to ensure that her service and our goodbyes reflected our feelings and Carol's personality. We recommend Safe Hands and are grateful for all their support and love. Thank You - From Carol's family

Penny and her team are so helpful and understanding They did my Dad’s funeral nearly 3 years ago and when sadly my mum passed away recently I did not hesitate to use them again. Would highly recommend.

5 Ian Shortland 1st Jun 2024

Penny and her team were superb!!  Following the death of my father I immediately researched funeral directors and am thankful that I stumbled on Safe Hands.  Penny immediately took control in a sympathetic and sensitive way and organised everything for the funeral, guiding me along the way when I needed it.

From first meeting Penny Strachan and her colleague  , Adam, the night of my husband’s death , I have had caring , empathetic , service from” Safe hands”.
Penny guided me through every stage of the funeral organisation and nothing was too much trouble .
She gave me comfort and expert advice throughout the whole procedure , giving me confidence and strength to carry on.
I could not have wished for better service .
I am so grateful that I  was recommended “ Safe hands”, by a neighbour.

5 Wendy Richardson 26th Apr 2024

As we entered this new-to-us journey of organising a funeral for a loved one we found Penny and her Safe Hands. If I had been able to design my own perfect funeral director at that point it would have been Penny. Always making herself available to answer our questions as they arose, kind and understanding, while also hugely competent and professional. Thank you.

5 Graham Fowler 23rd Apr 2024

Penny has organised two family funerals in the last year. Both were dealt with compassion, empathy and professionalism. I cannot recommend her firm enough

5 Robert Inman 19th Apr 2024

5 Carole Goldsmith 16th Apr 2024

Thank you so much Penny and Safe Hands for making what is a very distressing time so straightforward, I felt 100% supported throughout the entire process and you could not have been any more helpful. You were there for me every step of the way and showed genuine warmth, care and kindness. I cannot thank you enough and I will never forget.

5 Kathryn Wilkinson 15th Apr 2024

Everything worked out well from beginning to end.

5 Daphne Patch 14th Apr 2024

My daughter and I found Safe Hands Funeral Services excellent in all respects and we would certainly recommend them.

5 James Hutchings 31st Mar 2024

Thank you all for a much admired service to celebrate Lily's life story.

The whole family and all our friends and neighbours could not have been more impressed with the shared experience with which you honoured her.   For myself. Ben, Patricia and David  we are so grateful for the peace and tranquility which followed the service itself and for the colourful display of the chosen flowers, the music and the photographs which reminded us so much of the best of Lily herself.

A special thank you to Sally for skilfully leading the presentation of our celebration
of my lovely wife and companion, and of our long marriage and life together.

James.    

5 Lisa Stevens 25th Mar 2024

Penny, Adam and Helen were an absolute delight. Not only safe hands but gentle too.
From the beginning, to the day of our fathers funeral the team went above and beyond.
An early hours collection from a care home out of their radius, in person meetings, numerous calls and emails. They did it all with a gentle, sensitive, friendly and supporting touch. Nothing was too much trouble.
The flowers were absolutely stunning, supplied by Safe Hands florist and the Order of Service pamphlets were brilliant.
What is usually a sad occasion was one of joy and celebration with the recommended reverend who was a revelation. Penny and your wonderful team, THANK YOU.

5 Mike Nicholson 18th Mar 2024

Penny dealt with everything brilliantly and I would highly recommend Safe hands work at this difficult time.
