Andy was so accommodating & easy to deal with. He always seemed to be available & responded to queries promptly, giving sensible & practical advice, and there never appeared to be a problem in arranging the funeral as Charles had wished. We are so grateful for all the help & support we received throughout, & would not hesitate to recommend Wealden Funerals.

    My husband Mike's funeral was arranged by Andy with the utmost consideration and kindness. Together with Lynn the service was exactly what myself and the family hoped for and Mike would have wanted.

  • 5 Fern Cogger 7th Oct 2023

    Andy and the team could not have been more professional. They handled everything with care and explained everything clearly.

  • 5 Andy Exall 7th Aug 2023

    We were pretty daunted by the thought of arranging a funeral but Andy was absolutely brilliant & helped us a great deal. They took great care of my stepmum & the funeral itself was obviously a very sad occasion but it was really lovely, the celebrant that Andy arranged for us gave an outstanding eulogy accompanied by songs that were important to my stepmum & a lovely display of photos of her on two large screens. Many there remarked how nice it all was & that's all thanks to Wealden Funerals, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Graeme Cannell 31st Jul 2023

    Andy was very helpful guiding us through the arrangements and very accommodating with timescales. On the day Andy and his team provided a very professional service.

  • 5 Patricia Coope 23rd Jul 2023

    Everyone dreads this day. 

    My husbands final wishes were carried out with respect and courtesy by Andy. He was extremely professional but very down to earth which my husband would have liked and appreciated very much. Thank you very much.

  • 5 Emma-Jane Conteh 13th Jul 2023

    Andy at Wealden was so calming, friendly, supportive and professional - I never felt rushed, or felt I'd asked a stupid question. I'm sure he repeated things to me when I forgot !
    He helped me to organise my Dad's funeral (I've never done a funeral planning before) and he was available by phone, email and WhatsApp. He recommended Lynne as our Celebrant and his recommendation was excellent - she was wonderful to work with and my Dad would have been really happy with his service - It was exactly what he would have planned if he'd been able to,

  • 5 Sam Goldsmith 27th May 2023

  • 5 Tony Haines 7th Jan 2023

    A fully personal service at a difficult time.
    Andy, the director, was completely on the ball and facilitated the flower tributes as well as the pictorial history of my fathers' life with effortless ease.
    An absolutely first-class service and heartedly recommended.

  • 5 Virginia Marchant 7th Jan 2023

    Fantastic service received by all at Wealden Funerals. Thank you

  • 5 Nigel Coward 23rd Dec 2022

    We could not have had better service, and we have nothing but praise for all the help we were given at this most distressing time. Andy was always available , incredibly helpful and showed great kindness and sensitivity. We had to make all arrangements from a distance, and did not know what services were available in that region. Andy guided us towards finding exactly what we wanted, with out him I do not know how we would have coped.
    Many thanks.

  • 5 Stephen Edwards 12th Nov 2022

    Would thoroughly recommend Wealden Funerals. They were kind and professional throughout, but also managed a good balance of appearing relaxed and not “stuffy”. They always responded quickly with any queries we had.
    We felt throughout that our Dad was in good hands. Thank you.
