Thank you for look after us and helping with dads funeral planning, it really is appreciated

Nigel Hewett 25th Feb 2026

I can absolutely recommend New Forest Funerals for their guidance, helpfulness, professionalism. My wife passed away last summer and just like everyone else in this situation getting started with the formalities needed is difficult. Mandy and Martin were very supportive, they helped us understand what options were available, including finding a crematorium that could fit us in our desired timeframe. Both Mandy and Martin helped us through the whole process and enabled us to celebrate my wife’s life how we wanted. For that I will be always grateful, Thank you and apologies for taking so long to post this review

    Mandie was very helpful and calm throughout the organisation. We always felt we were in good hands. They looked after Dad really well. A very experienced and supportive team. Would definitely recommend them. Thank you.

  • 5 Elaine Hammond 17th Jan 2026

    Can’t recommend Mandie and Martin enough. Their exemplary care, compassion and helpfulness helped me navigate the loss of my son and subsequent arrangements no family wants to make. They were always at the end of the phone and consistently considerate and knowledgeable. I’m extremely grateful for their empathy and flexibility which made the whole process more bearable. 

  • 5 Ann Tuohy 29th Nov 2025

    New Forest funerals have been absolutely amazing for both my Nan and Grandad. Genuinely nice people who really want to help and guide you. Thank you so much. Everything was lovely. And it was really appreciated. Grandad had actually asked to come to Fawley after seeing what a lovely job they did with my Nan. Thank you again. Definitely recommend.

  • 4 Toni Hale 28th Sep 2025

    I would recommend New Forest funerals without hesitation.  All our needs were met.  As someone who has never arranged a funeral before  Mandie was very helpful and I only had to phone her if I wasn’t sure to get an answer. 

  • 5 Serena Seymour 9th Aug 2025

    Sadly Martin and Mandy had to look after my husband after loosing him to suicide. The mental , emotional offered to me during a very difficult time was impeccable. The care given to my husband was with the greatest care and dignity. Arranging the funeral with the guidance and support from Martin and Mandy made it more emotionally easier . I highly recommend new forest funeral home 

  • 5 Sarah Ralph 23rd Jul 2025

    I would highly recommend New Forest Funerals. They assisted me with my husbands funeral, and were kind and compassionate. They really took all the stress away for me with nothing being too much, even if I just needed to pop in for a chat. The communication was excellent and I felt he was really cared for. Everyone commented how beautiful the service was that was arranged.

  • 5 Susan Batchelor 17th Mar 2025

    New forest funeral directors looked after my sister. They went above and beyond not just for my sister but for us as as a family. Mandy is friendly, professional and compassionate, making sure the funeral is exactly as you want it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to look after your loved ones.

    I would certainly recommend them as first class in their profession.

  • 5 Patricia Oliver 21st Jan 2025

    Mandie and Martin provide a caring and proactive approach at a difficult time. They have arranged two funerals for my family and on both occasions they have been alongside us all the way. The service they provide is above and beyond and I do not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you so much Mandie and Martin.

  • 5 Robert Mullen 10th Jun 2024

    At the worst time in my life losing my wife I will say that Mandie, Martin and their team of people gave me an absolutely superb professional service, coupled with such compassion, dignity and kindness they did everything I asked for and guided me through a horrible journey making sure that my wife was cared for and all our wishes were granted. Without doubt New Forest Funerals give you more than just a 5 star service, they look after you which is something you need at such a difficult time.
    Thank you , Rob and family

  • 5 Henry Jones 12th May 2024

    Martin and Mandy have been so kind, professional, respectful and clear through this whole process. They looked after my dad with so much respect and treated his funeral as if it was someone they knew personally. I can not recommend them more. We traveled from Bournemouth to use them and they really are special people. 

  • 5 Carl Short 25th Apr 2024

    Martin and Mandy provided an exceptional service during a very difficult time for our family. We were grateful as their professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail unfurled during the most unwelcome process. 

    Very happy we chose the independent team at New Forest Funerals, after initial consultation with several local options. 

    Thank you Martin; whilst we hold you in a position of high regard, I rather hope we never meet again (officially).
