I cannot recommend the team high enough and will always be so very grateful to John for making a difficult time so much easier. Thank you for everything you did, it was a sad day, but it felt very special for Mum. Your attention to detail was exceptional. Thank you, Peter

  • 5 Jackie Doble 21st Jun 2022

    Natalie was fabulous to deal with from start to finish.   Her kindness, patience and understanding throughout was second to none.  A very difficult situation was made so much easier with her caring support.   

  • 5 Kim Thacker 17th Jun 2022

    Thank you to the entire team. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. We would especially like to thank Natalie, our main point of contact, for her thoughtfulness and attention to detail in assisting us in planning a lovely send off. She was very professional, but also warm and compassionate - we felt as if we had known her for years. She made a difficult task a lot easier to bear. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we were so grateful for her guidance and recommendations, which included not only Test Valley Crematorium (which we had no idea existed) but also a celebrant and even a venue for the wake – which seemed such an obvious choice once she had reminded us of it! The small touches, like giving my father, brother, and me a rose each from the casket display and laying one on the coffin for my mother before we departed for the wake were very touching. We cannot fault the service provided and highly recommend Nigel Guilder Ltd to anyone in need of their services.

  • 5 Linda Franklin 6th Jun 2022

    Superb in every way. Natalie guided us through everything and was so kind and helpful. 

  • 5 Nigel Peaty 6th Jun 2022

    Natalie was wonderful in the way she arranged both my Mum's and Dad's funeral in the space of months . I will never forget the kindness and help that she gave our family at this sad time. All the staff at Nigel Guilder were most professional and nothing was to much trouble, I can't thank them enough.

    Nigel Guilder were first rate in the way they listened carefully to our wishes for my mothers funeral.  We were treated with kindness and consideration throughout.  They kept in regular contact with us to check on details and to make sure we were happy with everything.  Special thanks to Natalie who supported us throughout.  I would highly recommend Nigel Guilder.  

  • 5 Richard Jones 1st Jun 2022

    Very helpful and supportive amazing service at a difficult time.

  • 5 Sue Fogg 1st Jun 2022

    Polite and professional service. Eased me through the funeral process. The funeral Director was friendly, considerate, easy to talk to and available to contact by phone, email or in person. Managed to cover most things within the funeral plan. I do recommend having a funeral plan in place through them because some of the choices have already been made and the monies already paid - therefore less to deal with at the time of bereavement. Funeral Director and team explained and answered every question I had truthfully and was a great guide and support through the service. Totally recommend Nigel Guilder Ltd.

  • 5 Lisa Isaac 1st Jun 2022

    Nigel Guilder Funeral Services were absolutely first class in every single respect. From the moment they were contacted following my mother's sad passing each one of the staff were kindly supportive and helped us every step of the way in order to provide a funeral service that my dear Mum would have been proud of. Nigel, Lucy, John and Natalie each provided prompt attention to all our enquiries and provided an always willing hand... Most of all we valued the friendship they offered... It didn't feel like a business relationship at all... We felt they truly cared for all of us and that they wanted to provide the very best personal service possible. We must give special thanks to Natalie, a ray of sunshine who we utterly trusted to take the very best care of Mum - which she did - in every sense. Natalie gave us friendship and support every step of the way...a truly wonderful person. Nigel Guilder should be very proud of his staff and the service they provide - it is exemplary and at a difficult time no-one could have helped us more! Thank you so very much.

  • 5 Marilyn Tose 28th Apr 2022

    We were more than satisfied with the service we received from Nigel and John during our recent  sad loss of David. Every detail was covered respectively with care and dignity.  We have received many kind comments from family and friends who attended and watched the screening on obitus, of the warm and lovely celebration of David’s life.  We thank you for helping to make this possible.

    With our thanks,

    Marilyn, Richard, Andrew and family

  • 5 Richard Sheath 11th Mar 2022

    We couldn't have asked for more, we gave Mum a good send off all thanks to Nigel Guilder Ltd. Natalie and John along with the rest of the staff were, at all times, professional and sincere, but with added good humour that helped on such an occasion.
    We hope not to have to use them again in the near future, but wouldn't hesitate if we had to again.

  • 5 Adam Knight 11th Mar 2022

    We had to arrange my Nan's funeral in a really short amount of time for a few different reasons. The team at Nigel Guilder's and Natalie in particular did an amazing job at getting everything organised and letting us know what we needed to do. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Joanne Caiels 28th Feb 2022

    Very friendly, helpful and sympathetic at a very difficult time.

  • 5 Christina Hill 28th Feb 2022

  • 5 Claire Louise Sheath 22nd Feb 2022

    Nigel Guilder has again delivered a first class service helping us through the process with empathy and professionalism. They contributed to the celebration of life for my Mum and we are extremely grateful for their assistance in making a sad and stressful time a little less painful. Thankyou Nigel and your team, it is much appreciated.

    Nigel Guilder, Chandlers Ford, were wonderful, not only by carrying out my Husbands funeral with care and compassion and in such a professional manner buy also to do this with such kindness and helpfulness to me.  I will always be gratef

  • 5 Jean Coleman 19th Feb 2022

    From the first telephone conversation Natalie put me at ease, when we visited to discuss arrangements we were treated with compassion, a smile, and again Natalie made our decisions easier, and was very caring.
    Nothing was too much trouble, and I felt reassured that Dad was being taken care of, and every effort to meet our expectations was met.
    The personal service we received from start to finish was a great comfort to myself, my Mother and our family.
