  • 5 Amelia Bray 1st Aug 2026

    From our very first conversation to the moment we said goodbye to Paul, everyone at FD Hall showed such kindness, compassion and professionalism.




    Nothing ever felt rushed or too much trouble. Every detail was handled with care and sensitivity, allowing us to concentrate on celebrating Paul’s life rather than worrying about the practicalities. On the day of the funeral everything ran seamlessly, and we were treated with dignity and genuine warmth throughout.




    A special thank you to Esther, whose calm guidance, patience and support meant so much to us. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and gave us the confidence to create a service that truly reflected Paul.




    We are deeply grateful to everyone at FD Hall for helping us give Paul the farewell he deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing compassionate and professional funeral care.

    You took all the worries off my shoulders. From the moment you were informed of my mother’s death, you took control of everything - but included me at the same time. Thank you. Carol Bolton and family.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Carol, it was a privilege to have helped you arrange a service to celebrate your mum's 101 years and honour her Welsh heritage. I am still humming Sospan Fach in my head. Take care.

  • 5 Andrew Doney 27th Jun 2026

    Thank you for such personal care and help at a difficult time. The whole process was incredibly smooth running. It is truly appreciated and Esther/Shelley were always efficient and responsive, even at weekends.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Andrew, Hazel and Marie. We were pleased to be able to help you arrange Sylvia's funeral. I happened to be working from home the weekend I replied to you and saw your message, so I can't promise that efficiency every time, but we are on the end of a phone 24/7 when people need us. Look after yourselves and each other.

    The whole team were incredibly kind, gentle, understanding, informative and helpful. They did their utmost to make all the decisions for our beautiful personal service as easy as possible at this difficult time. Their services offer as little or as much involvement as you want or need. I would highly recommend Grace, Esther and all their lovely team.

    Oh bless you and thank you for this lovely kind review. We love doing this work and serving local families in their delicate time of need. We can't promise pink rainbows after every service (hee hee) but your review nicely sums up what we hope to achieve for the families we work with so thank you for letting us know that we have hit the mark. Take good care. We're thinking of you.

  • 5 Spencer Golding 10th Nov 2025

    FD Hall & Son took all the stress out of the proceedings. Esther delivered a superb service which can not be faulted in any way. Kind, considerate, empathic everything you need and the time you need it the most.

    Dear Spencer, thank you for your kind words. Of course you only get one go at it and so it has to be spot on. So glad to be of service to you at this difficult time. All the best and take care.

  • 5 Julie Barlow 5th Nov 2025

  • 5 Nigel Wadge 15th Jun 2025

    Excellent service from start to finish. The funeral was pre-paid and already organised by mum before which made it easier. Esther organised everything and kept us updated and made some good suggestions on how to make the funeral be as good as it was.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Nigel,
    Thank you for your kind words. It's always nice to hear that our input was helpful. Of course having your mum's wishes to follow helps enormously when arranging a funeral and takes some of the burden away for all of you. I am thrilled to think that you mum got the service that she wanted.

  • 5 Christine Bowler 18th May 2025

    From the first contact to the final cremation service the help and advice I received was second to none,Grace was so helpful and understanding Iwould not hesitate to recommend you.

  • 5 Clive Wheeler 14th Apr 2025

    Thank-you for everything.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Cedric, you and the family are very welcome. It was a lovely send off for a lovely lady. The tributes from your granddaughters said it all really. She was the best.

  • 5 Caroline Miners 12th Apr 2025

    They done a marvellous job , every detail thought about, couldn't have done better.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Caroline, it was a honour to arrange the funeral for someone that I worked alongside for so many years and respected. He was a true gentleman and honourable in that his word or a handshake was good enough. He will be greatly missed, and it was fantastic to see so many people come together remember him. I will continue to hold you, David and Fiona in my thoughts.

  • 5 Jacky Hancock 11th Mar 2025

    One family supporting another at the most difficult time. Everything was dealt with calmly and with the utmost compassion and respect. A very professional team, who ensured every smallest detail was exactly as we wanted. The services of Grace as the celebrant was a terrific bonus and created a clever balance between a religious service and a straight crematorium event. I know we're biased, but it was the best funeral we've ever attended....and I didn't think it was possible to say that about someone I loved so much. Thank you for everything.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Jacky, well bless your heart. It was an honour to arrange and do your sister's send off and such a joy to work with you. I'm so glad we could deliver you a funeral that will last in your memory for all the right reasons. Will be thinking of you over these coming months. All the best.

  • 5 Gill Naylor 25th Feb 2025

    Couldn't have asked for a better service.

    FD Hall replied
    Hi Gill, Thank you for your glowing review and I'm so glad we hit the mark for you, Dave and his family. It was an honour to serve you all. What a man!

  • 5 Stuart Budge 17th Feb 2025

    FD Hall always carried out family funerals cannot fault them always attentive to your needs

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Stuart, thank you for your kind review. We work hard to get it right and serving our local families is so important to us so it's always great to hear we are getting it right. Held in our thoughts. Take care.

  • 5 Rita Ruby 30th Jan 2025

  • 5 Andrew Tatton 28th Jan 2025

    From the first phonecall, everyone was so caring and helpful. Esther even called on her day off to make sure we were OK and to help us with the next steps. As a family, we cannot thank them enough for taking such good care of us all.

    FD Hall replied
    Hi Sarah,
    Bless your heart, we're only ever glad to serve, get you through it with as little fuss as possible and be by your side on that tough day. Your Dad was a right character by the sounds of it. We loved looking after him, and all of you.
    Warmest wishes to you and the boys. from Grace and Esther

  • 5 Paul Gandon 31st Dec 2024

    We are grateful for all your help, support and comfort and also for everything going to plan within a short time, thank you.
    From Jacinta, Paul, Andrew, Michael.

    FD Hall replied
    You are all most welcome. We hope you were all able to spend a reflective Christmas, looking back on all the happier times with Vernon, but knowing you had all done everything you could to give him the send off he deserved.

  • 5 Anya Easton 10th Dec 2024

    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.

    FD Hall replied
    Dear Anya, we are glad everything was as you would wish and most importantly, as Barry would have wished. We will arrange the scattering of his ashes in the spring when you are ready. Wishing you all a peaceful New Year.
