5 Carol Stone 4th Jun 2026

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Greg and all the staff at the funeral home for the care, kindness, and support they showed during such a difficult time.

Greg took great care in listening to everything I discussed with him and was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He made sure that all of my wishes were carried out exactly as I hoped, which brought me great comfort.

I was able to visit my husband as often as possible, and everyone treated both him and our family with dignity, respect, and compassion. The team helped make an incredibly painful experience a little easier by ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. Their attention to detail, care, and professionalism were outstanding.

I am truly grateful for all they did for my husband and for our family.

5 Claire Phillips 29th Apr 2026

B and her team at Northcotts were excellent. The care they gave us as a family was much appreciated. We felt confident and happy to have them care for our mum after she died.

5 Carole-Ann Stokell 1st Apr 2026

The customer care and service has been exceptional. We were looked after by B. She was super efficient and organised and was with us every step of the way to comfort, guide and help our family. Nothing was too much trouble and everything she organised was faultless. 
She was kind, caring and considerate and most of all I felt like she genuinely cared. 
The funeral itself was so well organised and everything we wanted happened seamlessly. 
Everyone we came into contact with at Northcotts was just so lovely. We couldn’t have asked for more at such a challenging time. 
I had been recommended Northcotts by a friend.  I can wholeheartedly say I would also recommend them as they are extremely caring, professional and give a really seamless and compassionate service.

All went very smoothly. Very caring and helpful.

5 Dawn Riddy 30th Mar 2026

Once again B & her team were outstanding in supporting myself & my sister as we navigated the loss of our Dad, which came so closely to the loss of our Mum. Right from the beginning your support, guidance & compassion allowed us to fulfill Dad's wishes in a respectful & loving way. Thank you to everyone in the team for being so caring & thank you to B for taking the time to really listen to us.

5 Diana Kuh 25th Feb 2026

Sabina and Kimberley and the rest of the team at Northcott Bros were kind and very efficient and  made all the organisation of the service to celebrate my husband’s life as easy as possible given the sad circumstances. I thoroughly recommend their services. 

5 Stuart Hart 25th Feb 2026

Sabina and her team were excellent in providing the family with exactly the funeral service that we wanted for my father. They were friendly, professional and showed great empathy in all our dealings. Thank you.

5 Bill Austin 8th Feb 2026

B was very kind and nothing was too much terrible.

5 Sue Doughty 8th Feb 2026

We approached Northcott Brothers because of their strong local reputation. We met Sabina to discuss arrangements for my mother. Sabina was extremely caring, kind and patiently explored many options with us. There was no pressure, just an immeasurable amount of patience. We can only say that the whole process of Mum's funeral arrangements were dealt with very professionally and with a big heart. At the crematorium the whole funeral team looked immaculate and handled themselves with great professionalism. We absolutely recommend their services without hesitation. Thank you to you all.

5 Kim Goonesekera 6th Feb 2026

Sabine was lovely, very compassionate and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The rest of the staff were polite and respectful on the day of the funeral. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

5 Elisha Sedemuda 6th Feb 2026

Northcott Brothers / A J Wakely were the funeral directors who looked after my late Mother's funeral in January. I cannot thank them enough for their professional and caring approach to the wonderful service provided. Sabina is exceptional at fulfilling the role her job entails, with a sensitive and unintrusive warmth which is so needed at such times.

5 Rosanna Long 5th Feb 2026

I would like to thank Northcott Brothers for the dignified & respectful way they treated both myself & my family, & the way my husband Keith was looked after whilst in their care. Mourners told me it was the best funeral they'd ever attended & I would have to agree. It was a real Celebration of Life & everything ran so smoothly & to plan. We were treated with empathy at all times, & nothing was too much trouble for 'B' & her team. She looked amazing on the day, as did the Palm Bearers. We shall never forget. A heartfelt thank you to you all, from Rosanna Long & family ♥

5 John Goodwin 5th Feb 2026

From the day Lynn died, Boxing Day 2035, we were afforded timely and courteous attention. Sabina Rhodes, who patiently accommodated all the family's requests, enabled us to achieve the funeral Lynn had specified.

5 Alison Hoad 22nd Jan 2026

From the very morning my mother passed, until her final journey, Sabina and all at Northcutts\ AJ Wakely, were excellent. If i had to use one word to describe them, I would choose respectful, and that mattered so much more than I would’ve ever expected before losing either of my parents. I would also say professional, caring, the judgement to walk the right balance between nudging us along when we needed to be nudged and giving us space and flexibility. They made a sad time as smooth as it could be. Thank you. 

5 Jan Dorward 7th Jan 2026

Sabina B Rhodes at Northcott Brothers couldn’t have been more kind and thoughtful.  She helped me with every possible query and made everything so straightforward and professional at a very difficult time.

5 David Phillips 6th Jan 2026

Faith made contact with at Northcott Brothers quite soon after she had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. A meeting was arranged by B for Faith and myself (partner) to discuss the various requirements and options for "when the time" came. At our meeting B explained everything very well in a most caring way helping Faith decide what she wanted without any pressure whatsoever.

During the following months Faith was in touch with B to make sure everything would be "in place" for when she died.

After Faith died (very peacefully at home, with huge thanks to Sidmouth Hospice at Home); the staff collected her very efficiently, but respectfully which I appreciated very much at a very emotional moment.

The next day B met with myself and Faith's daughter to put plans in place. We were particularly pleased to be able to visit Faith at the chapel of rest on the premises and that details like having the flowers and music for the direct cremation were taken care of with careful attention to detail. B was very careful to make sure we knew the date and time of the direct cremation that had been planned.

I was pleased to collect the flowers and ashes soon after the cremation. I was also pleased to see Faith's name on the list of cremations at the East Devon crematorium. I visited the crematorium gardens with a mutual friend that afternoon to remember Faith.

I was delighted with the care and compassion together with the efficient service from B, Kimberly and all the staff at Northcott Brothers. They are to be congratulated.

David Phillips.
