RICHARD STEEL & PARTNERS REVIEWS

Sadly my family and I needed to seek the services of a funeral home twice in last few months due to the passing of our dad, Albert Burrows and our youngest brother, Andrew Burrows. Both times we used Steels in Winchester. Our funeral director, Lee was impressive with his knowledge and highly professional but also very caring and respectful of our needs. He listened and guided us through our grief while ensuring that our requests were met. During the planning process he was always available via email or on the phone to answer any questions we had and he made us feel at ease. Hopefully we won’t need Steels services again anytime soon but if we did I wouldn’t definitely ask for Lee to be our funeral director again. A Big Thank You to Lee for caring and looking after us.

Richard Steel and partners are an amazing firm of funeral directors, who I would wholeheartedly recommend. They are totally professional, and extremely caring and empathic all at the same time. They guided me through such a difficult time and looked after my deceased mother with total respect and care, giving her all due dignity. The arrangements were made quickly and easily, taking into account our wishes. The funeral went extremely well and I have no hesitation in recommending them wholeheartedly. THANK YOU for everything you have done for us.

Steels were excellent, providing very considered and caring support in arranging my mother's funeral. The Chesil House building and gardens are a beautiful setting for hosting a service. Phil Hutching facilitated arrangements keeping our family informed throughout. I highly recommend Steels. Thank you.

WESSEX FUNERAL SERVICES REVIEWS

Dear Gail, Graham and Aimee. We can’t thank you all enough for your compassion and understanding in helping us arrange such a beautiful service for our beloved Chris/Mum. You all guided us through at what was such an emotional time for our family. You were highly professional, dignified and yet gave us a caring and personal service. We thank you so much for looking after Chris and helping us carry out all her wishes. We were so grateful that Gail recommended Mary the celebrant as she delivered the service so brilliantly and personally, it was like she was a friend. We really appreciate Aimee spending such a long time producing the outstanding order of service and nothing was too much trouble. We would happily recommend your services. With best wishes, Roger, Corinne, Abi and families.

Dear Gail, Graham, Aimee, Will and team, I just wanted to say a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for your kindness, patience and desire to listen, help and give the best funeral services possible. You have all been brilliant and have made a difficult time so much easier. Thank you for all of your kindness and positive ’can do’ attitude. I really have appreciated it all.

To everyone at Wessex. Just want to thank you all for arranging my Aunt Iris' funeral. Your care, compassion and friendliness have been amazing. Thank you also for the care and support you have shown my Uncle Ted. It has meant the world.

WINCHESTER CELEBRANT REVIEWS

Thank you so much for the wonderful service you created for [my husband]. The words you said, and your organisation really helped take the pressure off the day. Everyone said it was a perfect send off. Thank you again on behalf of myself and all the family. We really appreciated the time and care you spent ensuring the service went so smoothly.

Thank you very much for conducting the ceremony and for being professional, adaptable and always there. Several of our relatives said that they thought it was such a personal, touching ceremony, thoughtful and special and it did [my husband] proud.”

Thank you again for such a lovely service, beautifully conducted with such understanding words throughout. Very much, thank you
