We chose Nigel Guilder Funeral Director for our fathers funeral. After much shopping around (which seems very strange, but something you have to do when your dearly departed wishes are for a cost effective affair but as his children also wanting a fitting send off for our wonderful dad. Prices varied between companies massively, but Nigel, John and Lucy were always very upfront and clear with their pricing and services. They are all so professional and kind and made the whole process very personal with an incredibly caring approach. We felt so at ease with the team ‘looking after dad’ and they did an outstanding job. Lucy made the most incredible Order of Service, John who we first met was very calm and clear on pricing and Nigel on the days before and on the actual day of the funeral made us all very calm and ‘at peace’ with dealing with a death of someone we loved so much. Thank you to all the team - you were all just so wonderful and we had a ‘send off’ that we know dad would have been happy with & we can also look back and have the memories of a special day saying goodbye to our father.

Thank you to Nigel and team for conducting the funeral arrangements for Mum. They were very professional and could not do enough for us. It certainly made a difficult time easier for us all.

Tim Waller-Davis 13th Jun 2023

More than happy to recommend Nigel Guilder services as funeral directors. We were made very welcome from the start and John and his team were never less than friendly, courteous and professional in everything they did. We found we could relay on them completely - just as one needs at a time of loss and when there are many aspects of proceedings with which one is unfamiliar.

    I have never had to organise a funeral before and the first time I do it was for my beloved mum.  I am so very grateful for the help, support and care I received by John and from his colleagues too.  John kindly and respectfully helped me to plan my mums funeral, kept in touch and went out of his way to contact me every couple of days. His help and guidance was second to none and his friendly and honest approach to all areas of my mums funeral was outstanding. Thank you so much for making an incredibly upsetting and hard time in my life so much easier.
