Esther and Grace were exceptional and so caring I know Dad would have been very happy with everything that they organised for us. Nothing was to much trouble for them. Thank you both from the bottom of mine and my daughters heart.

Esther provided a excellent service from the start to the final day for my dad. Staff were very helpful and considerate. Lovely service taken by Melanie Richardson also. Thank you to everyone that was involved.

Colin Bloomfield 8th Oct 2024

For both our father and mother we have received highly professional services from FD Hall & Son Ltd.  Esther and her team execute all aspects of the arrangements with such kindness and respect.  Difficult times are made easy with such a personal approach the kind you really can only receive from a firm grounded locally and a family business where all aspects of service matter.  Throughly recommended.

    Right from the initial meeting F. D. Hall and Son  provided reassurance, advice and comfort with a high level of professionalism. I am deeply grateful for all their help which made dealing with funeral arrangements so easy . The service they provided was second to none and rarely do I give such praise! 

    FD Hall replied
    Well thank you Judith, we'll take that praise. I'm glad that we were able to make it easy for you. It's a lot to do and think about isn't it. All the best and take care.

    Dear Ruth, thank you for your kind word. This is lovely to hear to know we're getting it right. We do try to take the strain off of our families but have them feeling very much in control of the choices. Take care and we're thinking of you often.
  • 5 Chris Dawe 1st May 2024

    F D Hall & Son Ltd were the best funeral directors we could have asked for. They supported us through every stage and gave our Aunt the most wonderful funeral that we could have asked for. Our family cannot thank them enough for their help and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

    FD Hall replied
    Thank you for your kind review Chris. We are sorry that your family needed our services again so soon
  • 5 Mary Curd 30th Apr 2024

    I responded to a central organization who sent me a form about burial grounds such as Pentiddy.

    I found F D Hall & Son funeral directors to be so kind and understanding. They visited me twice in my home, during the period when my husband was at home on palliative care and that was much appreciated. Esther was ready with everything I needed to make choices at such a difficult time and she steered me through it all and always made clear I could change my mind about details at any time. Looking back now, it made such an impact for the day of the funeral and my subsequent feelings.

    FD Hall replied
    Hello Mary, I hope you are well. Thank you for your kind words and we are glad that we made a difference and could help and make a tough time that bit easier. Take care
  • 5 Andrew Sims 30th Apr 2024

    Dear Andrew, I hope you have all been okay since the service and we are only too glad to serve and pleased to know that we hit the mark. Thank you for your kind words.

    Everything went as planned & we even had some sunshine! I would be pleased to recommend them to anyone.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Jill,

    Thank you for your kind words. It was an honour to conduct Mum's service and wonderful to be able to serve your family again. Take care.
