Penny was very friendly and the funeral director and attending staff were very professional. Our only criticism on the day was that although the funeral car arrived on time at the home address, the driver was unfamiliar with the route to be taken to the church and thus the cortege was 15 minutes late in arriving at the church, meaning that the service itself felt somewhat hurried.

Janet Cops 8th Nov 2023

Penny and Daniel went above and beyond with their kindness helping to make this very sad time a lot more bearable. Their attention to detail from flowers to Order of Service was exemplary and I can't thank them enough for everything they did. Everybody who attended thought it was an amazing service and gave Colin a wonderful send off. And the pine coffin was perfect !!

  • 5 Adora Holcroft 22nd Aug 2022

    Portchester Funeralcare were so quick in contacting me back when I first started looking for Funeral Directors and were so incredibly helpful and informative in guiding my family and I through the process, as it's really disorienting on where to begin once a loved one passes away. But at short notice, they ensured that a lovely, simple and dignified service was arranged.

    They helped arrange the flowers, printing the order of service booklets at short notice, which were so beautifully made and liaised with the crematorium and independent celebrant to make the already emotionally-filled day, one less stress to worry about. The funeral director (Lorna) present on the day also made sure to talk my family and I about the stages of the service, which was so incredibly supportive.

    A huge thank you to Penny and Lorna for helping us through this difficult time. Penny was so incredibly supportive, professional and patient - I really cannot thank you enough for everything that you've done.

  • 5 Carole-Ann Toon 4th May 2022

    A difficult time but made easier with the professionalism of the team. I was given time to make decisions and every question answered (sometimes more than once. It didn't away go in the first time) Even problems nothing to do with the funeral were smooth away by good advise and experience. The funeral day went very well and I felt we gave our dad a worthy send off. Thank you
