    At a pretty dark time lucy and the team at white feather were a ray of sunshine.

    Lucy helped us plan a service and funeral arrangements that were unique to my husband, and gave us the opportunity to celebrate his life in a way that focused on the positive impact he had on his family and friends. 

    Not only that, but she supported our family with care and compassion all the way through, being available as needed and bringing in the perfect partners for catering, flowers and other ideas that helped make it as individual as he was in life.

    I could not recommend White Feather and Lucy more if you are looking for a funeral director that genuinely cares, respects, listens and supports you every step of the way.

    Thank you ever so much for helping us remember Tom in the way he deserved, our family is so grateful to you.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you so much for such kind words, it was an absolute pleasure to work with your family to create such a lovely, relaxed and personal celebration of Tom's life.
  • 5 Hazel Andrew 8th Aug 2022

    Lucy and Dawn at White Feather were excellent in all aspects of organising my dad's funeral. Due to family coming from abroad we needed to arrange things quickly. From our first meeting I found Lucy's compassion and understanding, and easy character, gave me confidence that everything would be arranged efficiently and to a high standard, which it was. I chose White Feather Funerals as I loved the fact it was female led, and as dad had been cared for by 5 female carers at home, felt it was fitting that his final journey be conducted by ladies. I would not hesitate to recommend Lucy and Dawn to anyone seeking a truly compassionate, efficient, and down to earth team. Thank you so much White Feather.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thanks for your kind words Hazel. It was a great pleasure to work with you to create the perfect farewell for your Dad.
  • 5 Joanna Jackson 26th Jun 2022

    They were extremely helpful and dealt with everything in a very sensitive and caring manner, both on a practical and on an emotional level.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Joanna for taking the time to provide feedback. Thank you for trusting us to create something that was right for Peter.
  • 5 Margaret Emeléus 16th May 2022

    Our family has received an amazing service from White Feather Funerals. They have gone the extra mile at every point throughout, in communicating not only with us, but with all those key people we needed, to put together, what became a very special funeral for Robert. Lucy and her team have such a refreshing approach, whilst being very sensitive, they are able to lighten the tension and even introduce a touch of humour. Thankyou.

    Margaret, Alison, Louise & Karl

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thanks Margaret for such lovely feedback. Was an absolute pleasure to work with you & your family and the Battel Bonfire Boyes to create such a unique and fitting goodbye for Robert.
  • 5 Terry Rosendale 3rd May 2022

    Dear Lucy & Dawn
    I would like to thank you both for your wonderful service during the arrangements for my dear Mums funeral.
    Your compassion and kindness made a very difficult time so much more bearable.
    The service was wonderful, everything planned so well, and I would go as far as saying it was beautiful - not something I would be expecting to have said.
    With all our thanks to you both.
    Claudine & family

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thanks Claude & Terry for working with us to create the right service for her. Was a honour to be asked.
  • 5 Steve Bullen 24th Apr 2022

    I couldn't have wished for a better send off for my much loved wife.Right from our first meeting you knew that things were going to be perfect and they were.So much care and understanding just when we all needed it the most....thank you so very much ❤

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you so much Steve. It was very rewarding to work with such a lovely family and much credit to you and them for the joint effort in creating a wonderful farewell for her.
  • 5 Siu Ling Jamieson 11th Apr 2022

    Very personable, flexible and was able to liaise with the celebrant very well. Nothing was too much trouble. Made a difficult situation stress free

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Siu, is was a honour to be part of team that created such a truly unique & personal send off for a obviously, very very much loved man.
  • 5 Amber Reynolds 8th Feb 2022

    From our first meeting with Lucy, we knew that she was going to be able to help us create the special and personal day that we wanted to say goodbye to my dad. Both her and Dawn were amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them. We couldn’t have done it without them and I will be forever grateful to them for all their help and support.

  • 5 Paul Roberts 2nd Feb 2022

    Right from the start Lucy provided a friendly, personal chat, with attention to detail. Lucy recommended the Celebrant Mark Procter to us. We felt very comfortable talking with Mark. Mark delivered an exceptional order of service. Very pleased. The order of service pamphlet was well done, with an extra thoughtful touch of a packet of Forget Me Not seeds. So thoughtful. The White Feather attendees were dressed very smartly. Paul and I felt we were dealing with friends, rather than an austere funeral directors. Would highly recommend. Wish we could have had them for my son's funeral earlier in 2021.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you both for your kind words, we are so pleased you came to us and it was a pleasure to be able to create a great send off for Reg.
  • 5 Luke Hughes 19th Jan 2022

    Dawn and Lucy did an excellent job after my mother passed away. They supported through a difficult time making arrangements through the Christmas period, they also provided flexibility in the way things were arranged and run, whilst always giving value for money.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Luke for your kind words. It was lovely to be able to help you and the family at this sad time.
  • 5 Debbie Holroyd 3rd Nov 2021

    A Truly bespoke service, nothing was too much trouble and they listened to all our ideas and made them work with limited time and complete professionalism. Would definitely recommend their services.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Debbie for your lovely review. We were so pleased to be able to support you in providing a unique and personalised service for your daughter. Love Dawn & Lucy x
  • 5 Sam Savill 27th Oct 2021

    I really can’t speak more highly of Lucy and Dawn at White Feathers, they were brilliant and couldn’t have been more helpful during a tough time for our family.

    They were always there throughout the whole process to provide advice and guidance, with a kind, gentle touch and great attention to detail.
     
    It was such a comfort for us all to know that Mum was in the care of two compassionate and professional ladies, and along with the wonderful celebrant, Mark, and beautiful flower arrangement created by Ana, we were able to give Mum the loveliest of send offs. Our thanks again to you all.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you so much Sam for your very kind words and for trusting us to take good care of your Mum and organise a fitting send off for her. Lucy & Dawn x

  • 5 Greg Smith 23rd Oct 2021

    From start to finish Lucy and Dawn were phenomenal at such an awful time. My mother would have loved them and they made sure she had the best send off. Thank you for everything. 

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Greg, Rupert & Grace for your lovely words. Always a privilege to be asked to create a personal goodbye, Annie's character shone out on the day and we are sure we would have got on fabulously. Lucy & Dawn
  • 5 Anthony Summersell 8th Sep 2021

    Great service, in every sense of the word. Lucy and Dawn were excellent in helping the family navigate the many options and completely open minded to our wishes and suggestions. I recommend White Feather Funerals without hesitation.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you so much for your kind words Anthony, it was a privilege for us to be able to support you and your family at such a difficult time. Lucy & Dawn
  • 5 Patricia Evans 1st Sep 2021

    I did not want the formal and usual crematorium funeral. Following a private committal, we were fortunate to be able to have a garden service and celebration at home, in the garden that my husband loved. Dawn and Lucy made this possible and organised the whole event with great sympathy and professionalism.

    Patricia Evans

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you for your kind words Patricia, it is our pleasure to provide Nigel with a highly personal service in the place he loved, with no timing constraints. Lucy & Dawn
  • 5 Anne Whittaker 21st Aug 2021

    We were delighted with Lucy and Dawn’s part in arranging my husband Ken’s funeral.  They were both truly professional and yet compassionate in their dealings with me and my family and were there at all times with their help when needed.  Their assistance ensured that my husband had a truly memorable send off, exactly what we wanted and a day that will remain forever in all our memories.

    We are so pleased we chose White Feather at this most difficult time.  Thank you so much from all the Whittakers.  Bless you both.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Anne, we are honoured that you chose White Feather to organise Ken's funeral. It was a lovely service, full of love. Lucy & Dawn
  • 5 Viv Christie 17th Aug 2021

    Mum spent some time planning parts of her funeral and had the opportunity to meet with both Lucy and the recommended celebrant, Mark, prior to her passing. This made our job a little easier when the time came and to be honest, Lucy and Mark were on hand whenever we needed their guidance and honesty. The process was easy and relaxed in the planning and on the day, the service felt calm and personal to us. We would recommend White Feather Funerals.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Viv. It was a real privilege to meet your Mum before she passed away and then care for her up to the day of her funeral. Lucy & Dawn
  • 5 Julieann Evans 25th Jul 2021

    Thank you to Lucy and Dawn for everything you did to make the day run smoothly on such an emotional day. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone commented on what a beautiful day it was Thank you.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Julieann for choosing us to organise your mum's funeral, it was a wonderful service in a lovely setting with lots of personal & unique touches.
  • 5 Rachel Duffield 16th Jul 2021

    Empathetic, considerate, brilliant from start to finish. I could not rate them more highly.

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you Rachel for your kind words.  We were honoured to be able to help you say a very personal goodbye to Liz. 
  • 5 Stephanie Evans 5th Jul 2021

    Lucy and Dawn at White Feather Funerals were fantastic. They opened my eyes to how different funerals can be. We chose to celebrate our Mums life in her beloved garden. With lots of additional touches to make a very sad day a very memorable one. It felt much more like a celebration than a traditional funeral. We chose a purple cardboard coffin and unusual transport to give our mum a good send off. Dawn and Lucy made a very difficult time much easier. I would highly recommend them. 

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thanks so much Stephanie. What a marvellous send off you gave her! In the beautiful setting of her garden, no time constraints, plenty of contributions from those that loved her and audience participation. Your mum would have absolutely loved it. Thank you for embracing the options available and moving away from the traditional to create a fitting send off for your Mum. 
  • 5 Beverley Neave 23rd May 2021

    Very passionate and nothing was too much to help me arrange. 
    Dawn and Lucy are wonderful and showed so much empathy throughout. 
    Mark the celebrant was amazing and listened to everything I advised to incorporate into the service 
    Thank you so much you guys the support you gave me was last excellent through this very difficult time 

    Lucy Atabey replied
    Thank you so much Beverley for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to help you at such a difficult time. 
  • 5 Fay Revell 21st Apr 2021

    The service provided by Lucy and Dawn was wonderful at a very distressing time.

    We felt both dad and us were taken care of by them, they carried out our wishes exactly making our final goodbye very peaceful, not having to worry about any details just saying goodbye.

    A very different experience to my mums funeral with a larger funeral company which was very impersonal and felt like it was all about the money not our family saying goodbye.
