  • 5 Chris Waite 8th Oct 2025

    Moore's were compassionate and respectful throughout the entire process of handling my mother's arrangements. Everyone was so kind - the gentlemen who came to collect my mother at home after her death, the funeral directors at the office, and the hearse driver and escort. 

    Another thing that stood out for me was the lack of pressure to upgrade the casket. My mother wanted something simple and natural, and that's what we were offered, nothing more.

    At such a difficult time as losing a loved one, having such deep respect and care taken by the funeral directors made the experience more bearable, and even beautiful.  

    Nuria Delgado-Colomo replied
    Dear Chris, Thank you so much for sharing such heartfelt words. We’re deeply moved to know that our team’s care and respect brought you some comfort during such a difficult time. It was our honour to look after your mother’s arrangements exactly as she wished, and we’re grateful that you felt supported throughout every step of the process. Your kind words mean a great deal to all of us at Moore’s.

    With our deepest sympathy and thanks on behalf of the Moore’s Funeral Home team at Southbourne
