What Families Say

AI Summary

Families repeatedly emphasize the personal care and attentiveness Paul brings to arrangements, describing how he holds their hands through the process, makes himself available at all hours, and treats them like family rather than customers. Many note that he guides them through decisions without pressure, offers thoughtful suggestions about venues and celebrants, and handles last-minute changes without complaint.

On the day of the funeral itself, families comment on how smoothly everything runs, often noting that Paul's presence is both supportive and unobtrusive, and that guests remark on the dignity and beauty of the service. Several mention feeling able to focus on grieving and celebrating their loved one's life because the practical details are so thoroughly managed.

Families value the clear communication throughout—that Paul keeps in touch, explains the process unhurriedly, and ensures they understand their options without feeling rushed or upsold. A number comment that his prices are reasonable and transparent, with no unexpected costs, and that this matters particularly when they are already managing grief and stress.

  • 5 Kim Taylforth 4th Jan 2021

    The funeral of my darling sister was during lockdown in 2020. Morse Funeral Services recommended a beautiful setting at Greenacres, in Seer Green, Buckinghamshire. The seating was well spaced. My sister was given a dignified, beautiful, glorious send off. Paul Morse dealt with everything with, grace, friendship and professionalism. I strongly recommend their services.

  • 5 Angela Ramgoolam-Khan 21st Dec 2020

    From start to finish, the service provided was exceptional.  There were no mishaps whatsoever and any last minute requests were promptly arranged without any question.  Paul was extremely professional throughout, we cannot thank him enough for his outstanding efforts.  A very kind, well-mannered and down to earth person who made you feel at ease when making the arrangements during those difficult times.  On behalf of myself & my family, we would like to thank everyone at Morse Funeral Services, with a special thank you to Paul, for making everything run smoothly.

  • 5 Sue Smith 18th Dec 2020

    Paul guided us through the planning of the funeral with care, sensitivity, and professionalism as he did with the event itself.  He treated me and my family with great kindness and respect throughout.  Thank you Paul.

  • 5 Dr Anna Assaf 13th Dec 2020

    Paul's kindness and professionalism shone through from the very first phone call. He is friendly, approachable and immediately put me at ease during a very stressful, sad time. Nothing was too much trouble and he was easily contactable at all hours of the day!
    He has a calm, compassionate, respectful manner which immediately inspires confidence. He expertly arranged the funeral service and then the burial 100 miles away the next day. Both proceedings went very smoothly and the flowers were stunning! Every aspect of bereavement was covered including advice and support in dealing with the loss of a loved one after the funeral.
    He would be my family's number 1 choice any time! 
    10/10 !!
    Thanks Paul to you and your team! 😊

  • 5 Alison Power 14th Nov 2020

    Thank you Paul for organising a beautiful funeral. He and his colleagues were professional, discreet but very friendly and supportive.
    Morse funerals took the worry and the unknown out of having to deal with something that seemed like a mountain to climb at such an upsetting time.
    Paul also knew how to set the right tone when talking to different members of the family which helped when making difficult decisions.
    Thank you once again.

  • 5 Dale Smith 31st Aug 2020

    As I wrote to Paul Morse after the funeral "your help is much appreciated, you made this whole process much more bearable than we’d have expected and we’ll certainly recommend you to our friends." Paul helped make every stage go smoothly, with tact, empathy, expert knowledge and good humour.

  • 5 Jim Hendtlass 27th Aug 2020

    Paul was excellent throughout the planning of my mum’s funeral. Great and regular communication, happy to meet me on a Saturday, because I was coming from a couple of hours away - nothing was too much trouble.  On the day Paul and his team were efficient and respectful, and made sure everything ran without a hitch. At a sad time for me, Paul made everything very easy. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

    Amazing service from arranging the funeral to the day of the service. Paul was very understanding to the requests we made, he went above and beyond. During this coronavirus pandemic, Paul was really hands on and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I just want to say a massive thank you to Paul and his team for everything they have done. You will not get a better funeral director. 

  • 5 Liz Williams 27th Apr 2020

    Paul offered an excellent professional service. He was kind, caring and sensitive and he  explained how things would be conducted during the Covid19 restrictions. The funeral was carried out in a dignified way from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

  • 5 Fellype Gomes 26th Apr 2020

    Paul has been extremely helpful and understanding in such a difficult time. 

  • 5 Ian Muxlow 19th Apr 2020

    Unlike other companies who I felt treated you like a customer rather than a person after speaking to them we were lucky enough to contact Morse Funeral Services.
    Morse Funeral Services treated us like family every step of the way. The kindness and compassion shown at all stages helped us get through a difficult time.
    Unlike the commercial giants prices were not exuberant for their services and the dignity, respect and professionalism shown at all times was first class.
    I can not thank Paul and his team enough for what they have done for our family and as a result I can not recommend them highly enough.
    Paul thank you especially for the recommendation of Greenacers as an alternative to the usual crematorium, the site and service made things so much nicer in the circumstances.
    Again I thank you and your team for making a difficult time the best it could be and for making us feel at ease with your warm and friendly manner.

  • 5 Goodness Padilla 1st Apr 2020

    Paul was very friendly and compassionate, he will treat you like a family, very helpful in every way, i cannot thank him enough, i am just very thankful that i made the right decision of choosing this company, the right person for the job, everyone, have a big heart, everyone at the funeral noticed that also how good and how kind he is, thank you very much Paul
