Their inclusive funeral service caters to people of all faiths, as well as people of no religious belief and those who cared for the environment. Gooding can also provide specialist bathing facilities for communities where these observances form an important part of religious funeral rites and customs.

This level of choice includes a wide range of coffins, caskets and urns, a choice of beautiful floral tributes, transport including limousines and hearses, catering and dove releases, traditional and contemporary cremations, memorial services, memorial masonry and keepsakes.

  • 5 Edwin Grant 4th Jul 2017

    Gooding Funeral Services was professional throughout the difficult process of the funeral, and did everything in their power to make it as easy as possible.

    They provided information and advice to guide us through the funeral process, as we had never done this before, and was thorough in breaking down the structure of the funeral in simple terms.

    They also allowed out of hours access to my sister if required, as well as out of hours contact details in case emotional support was needed. 

    I could offer no better company for a funeral, and we will certainly use them again. 

    Gooding Funeral Services replied
    Dear Edwin
    Thank you for your wonderful review of our services. It truly was an honour to serve you and your family, as you laid Michala to rest with love and dignity. The service was a lovely celebration of her life and was a credit to you and your family.

    We remain at your service should you need us.

    Peter.
