  • 5 Sally Garrod 14th Jan 2026

    Sarah was brilliant, so kind, compassionate and caring. It was a difficult time and I was struggling to take everything in, but Sarah was so patient with me and explained things in a calm and gentle manner. Everything ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend Guilders

  • 5 Jane Sellwood 14th Jan 2026

    John was very understanding and supportive in guiding us through a very emotioal and difficult time.
    Thank you John and team.

  • 4 Patricia Pearce 14th Jan 2026

    They were very considerate, and efficient.

  • 5 Richard Wykes 30th Nov 2025

    When visiting the office we were made to feel relaxed by Sarah, and not rushed at a very difficult time for us. The various options were carefully explained to us by Sarah, and the prices were clearly set out in the brochure we were handed.

    We were recommended a florist nearby, who turned out to be excellent, and we were very happy with the flowers provided.

    On the day of the funeral, all went smoothly.

    We would therefore highly recommend Nigel Guilder Ltd.

So thank you Sarah for all your help, I’m sorry we haven’t thanked you before now but it’s been a very difficult time for all of us. From Julie, Tamsin, Carly and Jade 😘

    Nigel and the whole team gave a fantastic service with both my mum and dad’s funerals. We as a family can’t thank them enough, they really cared about the family and gave a very personalised service . Thank you. 

  • 5 Mike Cooke 4th Jun 2025

    Friendly, efficient and accommodating. A very professional firm.
    From start to finish everything was tailor made to our requirements and handled with a great deal of care, sensitivity and respect, making a sad and emotional time easier for the family to deal with and achieve closure.
    From a personal viewpoint, as his son and executor, making sure the funeral did justice to my father was very important to me. I was responsible and could not let him down.
    Nigel, Sarah and John gave me guidance and advice and helped me through a difficult process in a way only an independent family firm could do. I could see the pride they take in their vocation.
    I am very grateful.
