I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Oliver for the exceptional care and service he provided to our family during this difficult time. His understanding of my mother-in-law's wishes was truly remarkable, and he executed them flawlessly. Words cannot adequately convey our appreciation for all that he did.

Oliver J Knapman's Funeral Services proved to be an exceptionally good choice following the death of my mother. Oliver personally oversaw every aspect of the arrangements as well as putting us in touch with an outstanding florist and brilliant celebrant.
Throughout the process Oliver was really empathetic, caring, sensitive as well as communicating very well and supporting us on the day. He really did a fantastic job and enabled our family to provide a fitting tribute for my mother. I could not speak more highly of his professionalism and wholeheartedly recommend Oliver's services should you need them.

Oliver Knapman provided a very professional service, but conducted himself in a very sensitive and compassionate fashion. Oliver was always at the end of a phone or present in person if you needed to talk some things over. He, his staff and hearse were all immaculately turned out. I have no hesitation in recommending Oliver Knapman highly.

5 Kirsty Furze 27th Nov 2022

Our Mum was adamant that she wanted her funeral to be organised by an independent funeral director in her home town of Teignmouth. From the initial meeting with Oliver it was evident that we had engaged the services of a professional, confident, organised & caring business who carried out Mum’s & our wishes to perfection. We cannot thank him enough for everything.

Oliver was truly one of the most patient and understanding men I have met and his funeral care cannot be recommended highly enough. Being able to deal with one person throughout the process meant that everything had a very personal touch. He was flexible and understanding with everything I needed; with every part of the process explained clearly and professionally. There was never any rush and he always made sure to make time for me. Even when visiting the office, I was immediately welcomed and he knew me without having to consult papers or ask. This personal knowledge made the pain a little more bearable as I never had to explain myself repeatedly. The funeral was perfectly planned and conducted with true respect and dignity.
Oliver is an independent funeral director and truly embodies all the benefits of this. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a kind and personal touch at a painful time.

5 Beverly Stubberfield 25th Jul 2022

Oliver has been very professional throughout.   His kind and caring manner was much appreciated and we could not have asked for more.  Thank you Oliver and your staff for a five star service.  

5 Susan Scheu 24th Jun 2022

From the first moment my son and I met Oliver,we were at ease and confident that Trevor was in good hands.
He took all the stress away and handled everything brilliantly.
At a time like this you need someone who treats you as friend and Oliver does
Nothing is too much trouble
At the worst time in your life,you meet this wonderful guy
Thank you is not enough.

Oliver has conducted two family funerals for us now and on both occasions he has been an absolute marvel, it is such a difficult time but Oliver provides wisdom , dignity and gentle direction to ensure that the occasion is all that you would want it to be for your loved one and your friends and family.
Oliver's cortege cars and team are immaculate and reassuring, flowers sourced by Oliver are gorgeous.
If you want to think about nothing but your loved one at this difficult time then leave it to Oliver, we really could not recommend him more highly- Thanks Oliver

Oliver is the utmost professional and very skilled at what must be a very difficult profession. He is very personable, and was quickly able to understand the style and approach we wanted, accommodating and anticipating everything with ease. 
He has a good network of people he works with, and his recommendations for both a florist and a celebrant were very good. 
He made an extremely difficult day run smoothly, and added some personal touches to the day that made a real difference.
