Chris Goundry 19th Dec 2025

As a family loosing your Mum at anytime is devastating, at Christmas time seems unfair. The team at Heritage especially Nikki and Rosemary made the process a little easier. Incredibly professional and personal in every detail. Nothing was too much trouble we are so pleased that we gave our Mum the best possible send off we could. Heritage are fantastic in your time of need, we would recommend them to anyone to look after your loved ones. Thank you for everything, really appreciated.

    The team at Heritage is first-class. The care that they showed not only for my late father but for the wider family spoke volumes. The pride they take in their work and the importance they attach to ensuring that our wishes were respected could be seen in every facet of their work. There were no stupid questions and their was no ask that was too much trouble. I chose them because I had other reviews about the care they take in their work and they excelled my expectations. I cannot overstate the difference that made for us at our most difficult time.

  • 5 Gloria Elizabeth Tennyson 9th Mar 2025

    From the very beginning to final end, Heritage Funerals had a compassionate, sympathetic, personal and professional outlook to my mum's funerals. My special gratitude goes to Nikky, Rosemary and James for the ways and manners they organised my mum's funerals. Heritage funerals is second to none in Luton as far as I am concerned.

  • 5 Jeff Thrower 7th Mar 2025

    We are incredibly grateful to Rosemary,Nikki and team for the care and professionalism they showed throughout the entire process of arranging Gerry’s funeral. From the very first contact, they were compassionate, respectful, and attentive to every detail, making a difficult time so much easier to bear.

    The collection of Gerry was handled with such dignity, and every aspect of the service was beautifully arranged. They also read out our letters that was heartfelt and thoughtful, creating a truly meaningful farewell. A special mention for the little moment of calling Sacha ‘Stacey’—it gave us a smile on a tough day, and we know Gerry would have appreciated that too.

    Their kindness, patience, and expertise made all the difference, and we sincerely appreciate everything they did for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heritage Funerals to anyone in need of a caring and professional funeral service.

    Superb service from the beginning. You managed to get funds from an insurance that i'm not sure i could have done. You kept me informed throughout. I will certainly reccomend Heritage to others

  • 5 Mary Duggan 17th Nov 2024

    This is the second experience with Heritage Funerals. Arranging the funeral of a loved one is extremely difficult but the wonderful team at Heritage take your hand and guide you through with such compassion and kindness. The beautiful space that my dad was resting and the respect he was given was humbling. Nothing is too much trouble and we have felt so safe and cared for.  Just can’t express enough in words of how grateful my family and I are. One word that stands out when thinking of Heritage Funeral is Integrity. Thank you

  • 5 Karen Edwards 28th Oct 2024

    Excellent attention to every detail surrounding John’s funeral. Rosemary and Nikki were very kind, respectful, and professional at all times. It was lovely that I was given a beautiful small bouquet of flowers just before the service.  

  • 5 Kevin Ellis 22nd Oct 2024

    I cannot recommend the team at Heritage funerals,  Nikki, Rosemary and James highly enough. The team helped us deliver a beautiful service worthy of my amazing mum and they offered endless advice and support from the moment we first made contact with them.
     Nikki made everything as easy as possible helping us select the right choices for our family but never putting us under any pressure, her advice was invaluable. James looked after my mum beautifully while in their care, confirming every small detail that I worried about and Rosemary did a wonderful job delivering the service as our celebrant.
    On top of all this every time they spoke to us they listened to our stories of my mum, they showed genuine care for our grief and they always had time for us. They made the hardest time in life a little easier.
