What our families say

I just wanted to say I am so grateful and thank you for the care and support you showed us as a family and the care you took in looking after my mum. These things are never easy, but you helped me so much along the way. Nothing seemed too much trouble or a problem and I am so thankful for that.

R and Family.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the very caring, professional and ‘perfect’ funeral you provided for our precious mum. The care she received throughout was superb, nothing short of superb.

The Families of E.S.

My whole family wish to pass on our grateful thanks to all the team at Abbotts for all the help and support in organising the funeral. Thank you for all the care and respect given to Dad whilst he was in your care, it was a great comfort to all the family.

J & S T.

We just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service you provided for mum’s funeral. It was a hard day for us, but you took charge and made us feel that we did not need to worry about the details and so were able to give mum the send-off she deserved, thank you so much.

C.M. & M.C.

I just wanted to thank you all for all your kindness and support carrying out my mum’s funeral. It was exactly what she would have wanted. Everything went perfectly without a hitch, which is down to your professionalism and dedication to compassionate customer service. It was a difficult day which you all helped me through. My heartfelt thanks once again.

J.B.

I would just like to say a huge thank you for the care and compassion shown to my family and I on the loss of my mum. It was such a difficult time for me, with the added distance of journeying back and forth to my home, but I felt you were there for me at each stage and nothing was too much trouble. I was so grateful to be able to spend precious time in the Chapel of Rest where I could tell mum was truly cared for. Special thanks to Chris for his support and attention from beginning to end.

C.M.

I lost my mum in 2018 and a year later I was still lost, grieving, angry & hurt. My Aunty saw your advert offering this amazing add on service. To be honest I was sceptical I thought you would only offer it to the recently bereaved but I knew I needed someone to talk to so I thought what the heck, what's the worst they'll say? No sorry it's only for existing clients?? So I emailed and my god I'm so glad I did. Chere is... "wow" my heart smiles when I think of her. What an exceptional lady and an absolute asset to your team. Now I can smile and laugh when I think of my mum instead of trying to block out her memory because it's too sad to think of her. My "new normal".
