Losing someone so important in your life is one of the most daunting experiences I have ever had to face ! Chris & Maria were so supportive to me & my family and I/we can't thank them enough for their patience & understanding during this devastatingly emotional time .. DD x

The service we received from Jefferies was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for these wonderful people. They made a very difficult time, much more tolerable. Thank you! 

Tony Smart 8th May 2021

I have never had to arrange a funeral before and I was highly recommended Jefferies. All my friends told me what a beautiful service to celebrate my beloved partner and I can agree 100%. From the first day of meeting Chris until the day of the funeral the care and love that was shown me by all of Chris's team was very professional and helped me a lot at such a very sad time.

    Chris & Maria at Simon Jefferies made our Mum's (Emine) funeral a much better experience than ever anticipated. It was a surreal and tragic time for our family, but having the support from Chris was so fantastic. From the moment we engaged their services, (an out of hours phone call) we knew she was in safe hands. Arranging for Mum to be collected from hospital the very next morning meant we didn't have to worry, and was a surprising reassurance . Just the simple words that Chris uttered: 'I'll look after her as if she was my own' meant so much to me personally. The details and arrangements, the care and attention during a challenging health pandemic, and accommodating us was a support that we will always be truly grateful for. Thank you so much from us all.

    Simon Jefferies replied
    Your very kind words have had both Maria and myself feeling very proud of how we looked after you all, entrusting your mum in our care was like looking after my own mum and a complete privilege for both Maria and myself that you chose us to take care of your dear mum, Chris & Maria xx
