    From the very first phone call with Emma, the Bridgewater team have been above exceptional with there level of support, ideas and professionalism.
    They guided us through the heart wrenching process of arranging the funeral and helping facilitate some unusual requests, ie live streaming the service.
    They prepared my Wife so beautifully, and everything arranged with such dignity.
    The day itself went flawlessly with so many comments from family at what an exceptional job Bridgewater did.
    We are beyond grateful to Emma and the Bridgewater team for everything you have done for my Wife and family.
    Thank you.

    Abbie and Michael at BFS provided the most exceptional service in relation to my Mum's Funeral. They managed to balance professionalism and efficiency with compassion and empathy. Our experience was smooth, caring and painless! The cost of the funeral was less than we expected. You perhaps shouldn't talk about value for money - but in this case - we will. They went over and above to make sure my Mum got the funeral she deserved. Sincere Thanks to BFS.

    I cannot praise Emma,Abby and Mike their team at Bridgewater Funeral Services highly enough for their care and respect to both my mum ,myself and family at such a difficult time. I felt such a sense of relief once mum had been collected from the hospital and taken into their care, where I was confident she would be well looked after until we could lay her to rest.
    Planning a funeral is so hard, it is the last thing we can do for our loved one and you want to get it right. With Emma's guideance and the skills of Abby and Mike together we pulled off the most perfect day. I had some specific ideas of what I wanted to make it very personal to mum and they 'got me'. I was sensitively guided to what would and wouldnt work and informed of what was happening every step of the way. It is like being looked after by special friends from the moment you make that difficult first phone call! 5 STAR SERVICE thank you xxx

    We are so grateful to Emma and the Bridgewater team for their care during a particularly difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble and Emma's attention to detail is second to none. From beginning to end we were treated with sensitivity and respect. We can't thank everyone at Bridgewater enough for making our loss and the process of organising a funeral more bearable. 💜

Our family thank you the bottom of our hearts for your kindness & comfort brought to us at the most difficult time.

    We can’t thank Bridgewater Funeral Service Ltd enough for their incredible support during such a difficult time.
    From start to finish, they were compassionate, professional, and always kept us informed.
    Their advice was thoughtful, and they went above and beyond to make sure we felt cared for. We are deeply grateful for everything they did for myself, Paul, Terri and Anne.
    They were 100% the right choice for us.   Thank you!

    My family were extremely happy with the services provided by Bridgewater Funeral Service after my dear father passed away. We were blessed to have Emma, Abbie & Michael looking after Dad and us too during this very sad time. We would never think of using any other Funeral Directors in the future. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Emma Miles 7th Nov 2025

    While I’ve attended many funerals I have never had to organise one until recently. I googled funeral director in the area, read the reviews and made a call to Bridgewater Funeral Service. My plan was to ring a few and make my decision but after my conversation with Abbie I knew that I wanted them to take care of my Mum’s funeral. Abbie took the time to explain everything to me, asking questions and listening to me, I felt completely reassured. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the way everything was handled from start to finish. Abbie and the team are amazing and I would highly recommend using them.

  • 5 James Deasey 23rd Sep 2025

    The shock and upset of losing our Mam was beyond words. We had no experience in arranging a funeral, but had been in contact with Bridgewater the day before she passed, and even though at that time we had not instructed them to arrange our Mam's funeral, after a quick phone call in the early hours of the morning, they came out to the Nursing Home where she had passed away to remove her, with dignity, to their premises. After that, up and until and after Mam's funeral, we were kept informed with everything in the most caring and compassionate manner. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was too much trouble for them to deal with and the whole family cannot thank Emma, Michael and Abby enough for making the most difficult time in our lives easier to deal with. Thank you, thank you , thank you.
