    Cherish we're amazing from start to finish. From collection of my mum and the beautiful gesture of leaving a rose where she lay to the funeral service and financial support. I couldn't praise them enough.

  • 5 Karen Fretwell 30th May 2023

    Very caring, compassionate.  An above and beyond service that ensures everything runs to plan and smoothly at such a difficult time.  Special thank you to all involved Matt and Karen but in particular to Helen who is extremely efficient, patient and understanding with attention to detail. 

  • 5 Vicky Matthews 6th May 2023

    The compassion and empathy shown at a hugely difficult time was outstanding. All the staff were impeccable. They handled all arrangements and they allowed me to have complete trust in them that they would deliver a dignified funeral. They delivered 100%. It’s unfair to single out a staff member as they all work to the highest of standards but Helen in front of house always managed to go above and beyond. Thank you to Cherish. An amazing business with great staff. Thank you. 

  • 5 Kerry Hatton 24th Apr 2023

    Thankyou for all of your support during our difficult time.you were amazing and very professional at all times

  • 5 Anne Charity 21st Apr 2023

    Helen is a very empathetic and sensitive person to deal with and she handled the whole difficult process of saying farewell to my son perfectly. Tim was a star on the day itself, he was extremely kind and didn't rush us - even when we looked in danger of over-running. He even got us jumping a red light!

  • 5 Joy Flint 3rd Apr 2023

    From the very beginning of my brothers journey to the end Cherish have been absolutely wonderful. My brother knowing the outcome of his deteriorating health visited Cherish and Helen talked him through the funeral plan he eventually chose. I was with him and we both were very impressed with Helen and the way she paitently and sympathetically helped him at this very traumatic time. When the inevitable happened, again Helen was so helpful and I must mention Tim who made us a very good cup of tea as we discussed the details with Helen. Everything was handled professionally with respect and sympathy, at the same time the atmosphere in the premises was calm and very pleasant. On the day of the funeral everything went according to plan and a big thank you to Matt who looked after us on that day. I would also like to thank all the staff at Cherish behind the scenes that we never met. They all looked after Alan so well whilst he was in their care. None of us want to face the inevitable for ourselves or our loved ones but I would highly recommend Cherish to help you through that very sad time.

  • 5 Maria Rankin 27th Mar 2023

    My mothers cremation was handled beautifully

  • 5 Edna Parkes 19th Mar 2023

    Cherish Funeral Directors are second to none.  The compassion and support shown has been so welcome at this difficult time.  Nothing has been too much trouble.  You have been there every step of the way.  Your professionalism and dignity is to be commended.  We used Cherish, as we unfortunately lost a family member a couple of years ago and the staff were so supportive then.  I have no hesitation in recommending Cherish to look after your loved one and to support you at an extremely upsetting time.  Thank you Matt and the team.

  • 5 Stephen Bigg 18th Mar 2023

    I didn’t know Cherish when I went in to enquire about arranging my wife’s funeral, but I am very glad I did.  From the moment I met Helen, who immediately put me at my ease, everything went like clockwork.  They worked out MY requests for Mary’s funeral exactly as I wanted them.  It was slightly unusual inasmuch that I took the commemoration service myself, ably assisted by Matthew and Brian in the Chapel at Bretby.  During the early part of the arrangements I twice met Tim the boss, and he was very understanding and helpful indeed.
    I have no trouble with recommending Cherish for any funeral requests.  Their pricing structure is easily understood at what is after all a very stressful time, and to my mind it is more reasonable than the majority of undertakers.
    Thank you all, Tim and your co-workers.

  • 5 Shaun Greaves 8th Mar 2023

    The service we received from Helen and her team at Cherish (Swadlincote) was such a professional, caring, tentertive, and personal service. This was from first telephone contact, right through to the wake. Based on our experience other members of my family are now in discussion with Cherish about their funeral plans.
