Gary Richards Clugston replied

We were saddened to receive this review and rating from you Mr Camplin, especially after our Executive Director Gary spent some time discussing your concerns with the funeral arrangements you were receiving. We have been your chosen Funeral Home for over 40 years, caring for different family members who had passed away. The underlying issue you had which due to the current Government Guidelines and Restrictions in place meant that all the arrangements were carried out online and over the phone. You found this process not to your standard of care and in part Gary agreed with you, in that you lose that personal connection between arranger and family, and this was your complaint. However the majority of families going through this remote funeral arrangement process are finding it easier. This is where your comment stops, you failed to go on to say that the appointed Celebrant Minister and our Executive Director Gary made the service for Mum as special as anyone would wish for in saying their farewell. You actually said to both that as always an excellent service although you do not want to use our services again to soon. Pleased be assured that your comment and review does not go unnoticed or acted upon, every effort will be implemented to look at ways to make sure other families understand the current procedures and can contact us whilst going through the arrangements if they are unsure of anything.

Had the most lovely experience with Bernadette and the team at Harold white in Chingford that they made the most difficult time in my life an easy one. Could not appreciate them more. Kim James

I would like to Thank Gary and his team for giving my husband George the best send off under the terrible and stressful circumstances. As always Gary showed professionalism on the day which meant a lot to me and my family, our big thank you Gary. Also our thanks to Lynn for the readings and helping make the best send off for George. To make the day as well the sun came out for George. Once all is calm and all is back to normal we will be having a Memorial Celebration of Life for George and will forward on the details Gary. Thank you again Diana Scarsbrook and family

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you arrange a funeral?

You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.

How can I get help with funeral costs?

If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
