ABINGTON FUNERAL SERVICES REVIEWS

We were highly impressed with excellent services from start to finish provided by Abington Funeral Services. Lee guided us through the process and advised us of various options along the way. All our concerns were addressed professionally and satisfactorily. Everything was done in an open, efficient and straightforward manner. On the day of service, James was a star and all other team members were also very professional. They treated my wife with great respect and it was a good send off.

Abington funeral directors helped to send my father on. Honest Upfront costs. Lee and his team were highly professional , respectful and considerate. The celebrant "Jayne" helped to write a fantastic sending off service and what she achieved with the information we gave her was very impressive. Highly recommended - Bob.B Reply

James and Lee looked after our Mum when she passed suddenly. It goes without saying it was a very difficult time for our family, and they couldn't have helped us enough. They kept in touch, and had personal and trusted recommendations for everything from flowers to ministers. Nothing was pushy though, everything was about presenting us options and helping us choose what felt right for mum. They also accommodated every requested appointment, be it in the evening or last minute changes. I would recommend them to anyone. They stood out to us a service providers due to their experience and empathy, they looked after us like their own family and we cannot thank them enough. I would also add that they never pushed any upselling or added extras (as some placed like to), and they were all around a business we could trust to get every detail right on a very difficult day. Also, Lees team were superbly dressed (as we preferred) and timed to perfection at the service, we couldn't have asked for more from them. 5* service and a great thanks from our family.

Thoroughly professional. Courteous, compassionate with an eye for detail - removed all potential stress and ensured that my mum’s funeral went exactly to plan. In my opinion it is important to support the independent funeral directors and I cannot speak highly enough of Abingtons.

KEVIN MATTHEWS FUNERAL SERVICE REVIEWS

I honestly can not thank the team at Kevin Matthews enough, from start to finish the compassion shown is so comforting. There is literally nothing I can fault, nothing is too much to ask for. This was my first time doing anything like this and with the help of them all it made it just that little bit easier. They bring so much comfort and compassion it is almost hard not to feel at ease. Everything was beautiful and I could not of asked for more. Thank you so much for all your care and hard work, making such a difficult time that little more bearable. You are all such a credit to such a hard industry. Thank you again x.

An absolutely amazing service from start to finish . A special thank you to Sophie who throughout the process was very empathetic, sympathetic and truly professional. She explained everything in detail and nothing was to much trouble. The support from Sophie and her colleagues at mum’s funeral today was amazing . Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Rosemary, Catherine & Janie.

Excellent service from start to finish. Kevin Matthews provided a professional service throughout; each interaction with them was not only kind and considerate but also clear and concise. Natalie and Shaun were fantastic throughout, taking the time to clarify any information we were unsure of, in a caring and gentle manner. I would highly recommend Kevin Matthews. They helped us to organise an elegant and dignified send off.

HOLLOWELLS FUNERAL DIRECTORS REVIEWS

Hollowells were absolutely amazing they were kind and supportive and went above and beyond. My son used to be obsessed with mini and to my amazement holliwells managed to source a classic mini as a hurse this truly was the icing on the cake and made the funeral a really special occasion and truly personal. I have also appreciated all the aftercare they provided a truly wonderful experience holliwells were recommended to me and l would recommend to everyone looking for this service you will truly be in excellent hands.

The service we received from Hollowells was excellent, from the first contact to the day of our Dads the funeral, they were just fantastic. Kind, considerate and very respectful in everything they done. Amy Gooding, was outstanding, so very thoughtful. We would highly recommend them.

We used Hollowell’s for my dad funeral. From the start Tracey was absolutely amazing. All the team were professional, kind and supportive and they went above and beyond. Andrew the celebrant who read my dads eulogy was amazing.
