    Many thanks to all the team at Nigel Guilder Ltd for conducting my father’s funeral with compassion and dignity.

  • 5 Geoff Law 4th Oct 2021

    Whilst seeking estimates for a cremation only, no attendees for my late wife, I contacted several undertakers in the area and when I finally contacted Nigel Guilders and spoke to them I was immediately struck by there compassion for our loss. The quote I received which included services for free that others were charging for, I decided to use them. Their help and advice made things easier at such a stressful time for which I am extremely grateful. Stay as an Independent Nigel, you offer a better service than the others.

  • 5 Steve Dannan 20th Sep 2021

    Bob and the team coordinated everything beautifully, fading into the background discreetly at the crematorium but doing everything that was required throughout. Thank you for helping us all say our final goodbyes to dad.

  • 5 Sandra Essex-Cater 14th Sep 2021

  • 5 Steven Gilham 1st Sep 2021

    Excellent, thoughtful and caring to our needs in every respect.

  • 5 Tim Wavell 24th Aug 2021

    We used Nigel Guilder's when Dad died in 2017 as they were just across the road from Mum & Dad's flat. We were so impressed with the professional service and attention to detail that we had no hesitation in asking Nigel Guilder again when Mum died last month.

    Nigel Guilder's were again extremely professional, reassuring and paid great attention to every little detail every step of the way.

    Highly recommended.

  • 5 Robert Cartwright 4th Aug 2021

    Both Nigel and Bob were fantastic at arranging both my Mum and Dad's funerals, I would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Raymond Pickett 22nd Jul 2021

    We were using Nigel Guilder as our Dad had arranged a funeral plan with them.
    This was invaluable as it allowed us to plan the funeral to his preferences/ instructions.
    We were advised throughout by Bob Metcalf, from whether Dad wanted a viewing, the order of service, flowers, donations, set up of a web broadcast, the booking of the crematorium to the day itself.
    The funeral itself went very well, all the arrangements went like clockwork and were completed professionally.
    We felt comfortable throughout

  • 5 Julie Weller 17th Jul 2021

  • 5 Adam Boyes 16th Jul 2021

    Nigel, Natalie and team could were absolutely amazing. They could not do enough for us through these difficult times. Everything was organised and advise and help for my Dads funeral was given throughout which really helped myself and my mum to make sure that my Dads sending off went without a hitch. Could not recommend them enough.

  • 4 Fay Higgs 16th Jun 2021

    Bob and Natalie were very helpful and supportive at this extremely difficult time.

    I would certainly recommend the team, due to the personal touches and being made to feel like they cared.
