Everything about safe hands was caring considerate & a desire to give a very personal service. It was tailored to suit our individual needs as a family & reflect the character of our loved one.

I cannot recomend safehands Highly Enough.
Penny was great from first contact to finish,nothing being to much trouble.

She managed our estranged family situation with great sensitivity taking great care to ensure all our familys wishes were met.

The premises has a warm comforting ambiance ,we felt at ease talkig to penny (no Hard sell)

Penny was great throughout making thoughtful and helpful sugestions,where needed.

The florest she used was amazing our flowers were spot on both times-
(saddly our second funeral in two years.)

We used The celebrant recomended by Penny ( Leo Star)He put together a fantastic Eulogy full of Warmth and love.

Comunication was also great , Penny responded in good time to any concerns.

We would definatly give 5 *plus to Safehands and recommend them to anyone in need of there sevices.

Safe Hands have supported us in our Dads funeral.
Penny has guided us efficiently through every step of the way in what has been a vulnerable time for the family.
We have been listened to and thought about throughout the journey of working with Safe Hands.
The genuine interest shown in Dads life and Penny's sensitive determination in getting everything right has meant Dads funeral felt personal to him. It reflected his life, his sense of humour and the service was one that was appreciated by all who attended.
We are pleased that we turned to Safe Hands and have experienced a funeral that will allow Dads memory to settle gently into our hearts.

Dealing with efficient, sympathetic operatives who really care.       If this process can be made bearable Penny was the epitome of  perfection.

5 Richard Bland 29th Mar 2022

From the initial planning meeting to the end of the Funeral Service at Chichester crematorium for my late wife, Safe Hands delivered an absolutely faultless, caring, programme. I made many extra demands; all were met without demur.
Their attention to detail was outstanding, down to smart pall bearers in polished shoes - not always the case elsewhere. At no time was there any pressure to spend more.
At a sad, stressed time, Safe Hands were exactly what their title suggests. I can unreservedly recommend them. They have my deep thanks.

Penny and Adam and their staff were nothing less than compassionate, empathetic, professional and kind. Their services were discreet and complete at a difficult time for us, and we know Mum would have approved. We liked working directly with a small, local, personal business. Thank you.

From the moment I called Safe Hands and Penny answered the phone I knew I had found the right people at this difficult and sad time to guide me through the process of a funeral with everything that needed to be done to give my Dad the best send off I could arrange.  Penny was on the end of the phone every step of the way.  She listened to us in our pain, then gave valuable advise on everything from venue, coffins, order of service to flowers, making it all so much less stressful on the whole family.  
She introduced us to ‘Leo’ the celebrant who was thorough in finding out all the finer details about our Dad and his life.  At the funeral when Leo did his readings it was as if he had known our Dad his whole life, some at the funeral even thought he was a member of the family!  
On the day of the funeral everything went as planned, streamlined in every detail making sure it was a beautiful, relevant and personal last goodbye to our Dad.  
Thank y ... ou Penny  more

Penny took great care helping us to plan our son’s funeral. She was indeed ‘Safe Hands’. We felt as though we could take our time making decisions and nothing was too much trouble. The resulting service was a perfect tribute.

5 Greg Gyton 21st Aug 2021

We used the services of Safe Hands for my mothers funeral only a few months ago, and had no hesitation in using them again for my father. 
Every aspect was again dealt with in a professional but caring and respectful way.
Nothing was too much trouble. Faultless service.

5 Wendy Spink 12th Aug 2021

Safe Hands provided a truly personal and bespoke service.
Our wishes were listened to and acted upon. Helpful suggestions and recommendations were put forward, and calls made on our behalf to the celebrant, florist and Registrar. Penny was understanding, patient and attentive, delivering a memorable service which fully met our expectations. Based on our experience, we have no hesitation in recommending Safe Hands Funeral Services to others.

5 Debra Thurley 9th Aug 2021

Penny was brilliant from start to finish. She listened carefully to what we wanted and helped in so many ways to make the service perfect. Her attention to detail was impeccable and the surroundings of her premises and the chapel were beautiful and comforting. She was always caring, sympathetic and friendly. We would not hesitate in recommending her to others.

5 Gary Warwick 6th Aug 2021

Penny is so professional, friendly and helpful, we cannot fault the service she extended to our family in this difficult time for us. She arranged the most thoughtful ceremony and introduced us to Cissbury Barns, which was the most delightful venue we could have wished for. We would thoroughly recommend Safe Hands.
