Head & Wheble Funeral Directors

5 Anthony Leaver 21st Oct 2026

At such a difficult time, Head & Wheble were so accommodating. They made the process very simple and yet with dignity, care and consideration. It feels strange, recommending a funeral directors but if you are in this very sad situation then I would not hesitate to recommend them

At a very sad stage of witnessing someone from your family you cared about to pass away, I was grateful to find Head and Wheble Funeral Directors.

Highly professional family owned business, who were there at each stage of my grief to take care of my deceased Aunt the best possible way with care, compassion and respect. All what was promised was done within exact timeframe. 

Thank you Catherine and Simon, I am grateful for all your help and support.

Excellent service - great communication making you feel confident that everything was taken care of.  Highly recommended 

5 Chris Till 14th Oct 2026

Most competitive price in the area to do what we needed doing. Very efficient in every way. We wanted nothing more than a cremation and collection of ashes - which they did perfectly.

5 Kellie Wilkins 13th Oct 2026

This is a hard thing to write a review for, as it is so personal. We didn’t make a purchase, we just wanted to do the right thing for my dad. At the worst of times you just try to make it through. 
Head & Wheble were compassionate, empathetic, patient and professional throughout. I highly recommend them to help you when the time comes.

5 Steven Kenyon 13th Oct 2026

They arrived soon after being notified by the care home, bearing in mind that it was late afternoon. They took my mother to their office. Some time later they advised me of the date of the cremation. In due course they were able to hand me my mother's remains in a convenient container. Great service and reasonably priced for the service they provided. I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Very satisfied.

5 Tanya Provan-Church 13th Oct 2026

Head and Wheble staff were helpful and professional. Everything ran extremely smoothly and many people were able to join using the streaming services. Despite the occasion the office was a welcoming, understanding and happy place. Thank you. 

5 Sue Millar 13th Oct 2026

The staff couldn't have been kinder and everything was dealt with very efficiently.

5 Richard Morris 13th Oct 2026

Friendly people that showed great empathy, and were efficient, professional and extremely helpful.

5 Helen Glew 15th Jul 2026

Everyone was so kind and caring. They felt like friends you'd not seen for a while. I was fully informed in advance of what, when & where things would happen.
They also treated my late husband's body with great respect.
I'm glad I chose Head & Wheble.

5 Chris Lockwood 15th Jul 2026

Just lovely and caring

2 Shirley King 15th Jul 2026

I chose Head & Wheble to carry out the cremation for my mother as my partner had used them for the cremation for both of his parents.
The decision to have a direct cremation was based on practicality not cost and I informed the funeral directors of this at our meeting. I also let them know that both myself and my partner would be in attendance for my mother's arrival at Bournemouth crematorium.
At no point during the meeting to arrange the funeral was there any discussion of the type of coffin nor the number of attendants that would be used.
I was therefore shocked when the hearse arrived to find that the coffin appeared to be a cardboard box and that there was only the driver in attendance.
I have also had no response to an email I sent to Head and Wheble in May informing them of my distress and dissatisfaction of their service.

4 Shannon Hall 14th Jul 2026

From the very beginning, the team were kind, friendly and personable. They carried out everything they promised with professionalism and dignity, and I felt that Lucy was treated with the utmost care and respect throughout.

There is just one small point that stopped this being a five-star experience. While I completely understand that discussing payment is part of the process, having the card machine placed in front of me while I was visibly upset felt a little insensitive. I appreciate that, for the funeral directors, this is something they deal with every day, but for families it's one of the hardest moments of their lives. A little more awareness of the timing of those conversations would make a real difference.

Overall, I would still recommend them. They did everything they were there to do with compassion and professionalism, and I'm grateful for the care they showed during such a difficult time.

5 Alison Whitney 14th Jul 2026

Head and Wheble were brilliant. And took all the pressure off a rubbish situation. In particular Cheryl was so helpful and kind. Everything went smoothly without a hitch. Ali
