I can fully recommend Nigel Guilder and his colleagues, they were patient, kind and extremely helpful to my family and I. They added a few personal extras that we hadn't thought of, I had a lot of feedback from the mourners regarding the service as we gathered after the service. The comments were what a lovely service for David 's celebration of his life, so well organised and smooth running. This was down to Nigel & his team.

Highly recommend the services offered by Nigel Guilder and his Team.  I particularly chose this company as it was a family business - and I was not disappointed.  All members of staff were very accommodating, sensitive and compassionate during what was a very difficult time.  I cannot thank you enough.  Amanda Bell

  • 5 Barry Brooks 31st Jan 2022

    When thinking about organising a funeral after the passing of my Mum it was such a daunting feeling but then Natalie stepped in and not only listened to our requests but thought about the feeling we wanted to get from the whole experience. Based on what we said she suggested Emma Reed to conduct the service. Emma went above and beyond and between herself and Natalie helped to start to heal us as a family. We will never forget what they have done for us and no words can express our gratitude.

  • 5 Steve Loveridge 28th Jan 2022

    My dad’s funeral was organised by Natalie. She and everyone else at Nigel Guilder’s were absolutely lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and we were very grateful for all their thoughtfulness and care. Natalie provided a very personal, friendly and professional service and we really appreciate all of her support, advice and recommendations. Thank you so much for making dad’s funeral a lovely and fitting tribute.

  • 5 Graham Martin 21st Jan 2022

    It was perfect. Nigel are his team took on and solved every aspect of the funeral leaving very little for me to do, but he also made me aware of the bits I had to do. Truly excellent service. 

  • 5 Robert Dyer 20th Jan 2022

    Nigel supported us when we most needed it and without fuss organised everything that needed to be done for the funeral in a very professional way.

  • 5 Mike Archer 11th Jan 2022

    We could not have made a better choice than Nigel, Lucy and the team at the most painful and difficult time of our lives. They always showed us the utmost kindness and sensitivity and took the greatest care of our son Tom. They were always available, not restricting messages, emails or calls to standard office hours and this we found a great help. The funeral itself was planned with meticulous attention to detail and everything was as perfect as we could have wished for on the day itself. An outstanding company - we cannot speak highly enough of them.  

  • 5 Judith Day 11th Jan 2022

    Nigel couldn't have been more helpful in making all the arrangements at such a difficult time. He kept in contact leading up to the day of the funeral and everything was handled with sensitivity. Would highly recommend him.

  • 5 Heather Curtis 16th Dec 2021

    I’ve dealt with two other funeral directors in recent years in different areas of England and was certain that the standard of their service couldn’t be bettered. However, Guilders have proved me wrong. At the most difficult time of my life, Natalie and all members of staff showed a level of sensitivity almost unheard of these days. From the moment I first contacted them, Guilders were there for me, thinking ahead and solving problems almost before they occurred. As a result of their care and attention to detail throughout, I can look back at the day of my husband's funeral with love, pride and satisfaction - emotions I didn't expect to feel on such a sad occasion.

  • 5 Kye Marshall 10th Dec 2021

    I would highly recommend Nigel Guilder's services.

  • 5 Jon Ridge 8th Dec 2021

    Nigel, Lucy and Natalie were all very helpful, friendly and professional throughout our journey with them.
    They kept us informed and talked through things with empathy and kindness.
    Although they deal with many funerals they have the gift of treating each family as individual.
    Our family is very grateful and appreciative of the excellent care we and our much loved mum, granny and great granny were given.

  • 5 Carmen Matthews 1st Dec 2021

    So caring in everything they did for our family. Couldn't ask for more nothing was to much trouble. Thank you to all of you but especially to Natalie.

  • 5 Joanne Blackman 23rd Nov 2021

    We originally spoke to Nigel on the phone, who was extremely helpful and went though the whole process and allowed us to ask many  questions that we had. He was very patient and understanding which was comforting in a difficult process
    We dealt with Natalie with our arrangements and she again was very patient and kind   She answered all our questions be it via email or the telephone. She set up a tribute page which allowed us to send all the funeral arrangements in one link aswell as allowing people to donate to our chosen charity & share memories, this was a great help.  Natalie was very calm on the day and made us feel at ease on such a difficult day. We were put in touch with an amazing celebrant who made organising the service so much easier   We would highly recommend Nigel Guider for a personal and thoughtful service. 

  • 5 Donald Sutherland 16th Nov 2021

    The best service from Nigel, he did a fantastic job the staff behind the scenes as well. I lost my wife too early we made our 50th wedding anniversary but not Christmas. Nigel and his team including the catering were superb. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Donald Sutherland.

  • 5 Marilyn Manchester 6th Nov 2021
