  • 5 Carole Reeves 11th Mar 2024

    I could not have asked for any more support and kindness from everyone at Nigel Guilders Funeral Service Ltd. 

    The team were there to help and guide me through my Father’s funeral arrangements and service. Sarah was excellent and helped me put together the perfect funeral for my Father. Nothing was too much trouble. 

    I can truly say that I received exceptional and outstanding service and can recommend Nigel Guilders Funeral Directors without reservation. 

  • 5 Sue Windess 7th Mar 2024

  • 5 Andrew Vining 6th Mar 2024


    I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding support and services provided by Nigel Guilder Ltd during the incredibly challenging period following the passing of my beloved wife, Valerie, on Nov 15th, 2023. After 60 years of marriage, the loss was overwhelming, but Nigel Guilder and the entire team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and compassion from start to finish.

    From the moment they collected Valerie from her Palliative Care home to the serene Woodland ceremony where she was laid to rest, every aspect of their service was nothing short of exceptional. The care and attention to detail they exhibited throughout the entire process were truly remarkable.

    One of the most poignant moments was the opportunity to visit Valerie on the 22nd of November, her 81st birthday, at her final resting place. Nigel Guilder Ltd facilitated this with grace and sensitivity, creating a space where we could cherish memories and say our goodbyes.

    In a time of immense stress and sorrow, Nigel Guilder Ltd went above and beyond to make the entire process beautiful and memorable. Their commitment to providing comfort, their meticulous planning, and the genuine empathy shown by the team made a profound impact on our family during this challenging period.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Nigel Guilder Ltd to anyone in need of funeral services. Their professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support turned a difficult time into a beautiful and dignified farewell for Valerie.

    With deepest gratitude,
    Andy Vining

    I cannot recommend Nigel Guilder Ltd highly enough. I will always remember the tender care I received at a very difficult time. I can’t really put into words how grateful I will always be for that. 

  • 5 Stephen Hildyard 5th Mar 2024

  • 5 Jason Collins 5th Mar 2024

    Our whole experience of using Nigel Guilder Ltd, from first contact, to final payment, could not be faulted. Their compassion, flexibility, and patience were so valued. Their staff are clearly ideally suited to their roles; professional but caring, making you feel that you are their only client, and that making your arrangements perfect is their goal.
    Thank you, for transforming a traumatic time into a time of reassurance and peace.

  • 5 Jason Lock 5th Mar 2024

    Faultless service from Sarah and the team. Made the challenge of organising everything smooth and seamless. Thank you from Jason, Melissa & Natasha. 

  • 5 Leanne Pilcher 5th Mar 2024

    We used Nigel Guilder a few months ago when my father sadly passed away and they were nothing short of incredible...again!
    We used their services when my grandmother passed away 2 years ago and I can honestly say that I cannot fault them either time.
    They make the whole process from start to finish very easy, they have a fantastic sense of humour for people like myself who hide behind comedy, they answer every question you could possibly think of, and if you break down all of a sudden you can count on them for a cuddle and cup of tea.
    A perfect mix of everything you could possibly need during the hardest time of your life.
    Thank you so much to you all! You are quite simply amazing.

  • 5 John Hurst 5th Mar 2024

    Nigel Guilder has provided my family an excellent level of service on the several occasions we have needed to use them. 

  • 5 Robert Shelley 5th Mar 2024

    Dealt with dignity and care and thought throughout

  • 5 Carol Collir 5th Mar 2024

    As always, in my years of experience, with Nigel Guilder;

    We were cared for with a calm dignity that enabled myself and my family to celebrate dad's life exactly as we wanted....

    Nothing was too much trouble. We also appreciated the calm response to our need to 'wait on the bank' for funds to be released to pay the fees and costs due.

    It was refreshing not to feel under any pressure in this area too.

    Further we are thankful that dad's cremated remains are being kept quietly waiting on their premises until we are able to disperse them according to dad's wishes.

  • 5 Lisa Leigh 5th Mar 2024

  • 5 Joanna Woodhouse 16th Nov 2023

    The staff were lovely, a great help & comfort at this difficult time. They helped us through every stage & we were informed of the whole process. They were always available for us, for support & answers. They ensured our day went perfectly & we were able to relax & say goodbye to our mother. Their after support has been exceptional. Thanks you all. 

  • 5 Ray Ley-Smith 9th Nov 2023
