From the moment we first spoke to Martin on the morning following our son’s death we knew we were in safe hands. Martin and Mandie’s handling of what must have been a very difficult situation, even with all their combined experience, was exemplary in its sensitivity and professionalism. We would thoroughly recommend New Forest Funerals without any hesitation whatsoever.

So friendly but dignified. So easy to discuss arrangements with. Went out of their way to help and to assure me that all was in order. Nothing was too much trouble and it was such a comfort to have New Forest Funerals guiding me through what was such a hard time. I would thoroughly recommend them and wish them continued success in the future.

    New Forest Funerals were wonderful and supported myself and my daughter at one of the hardest times of our lives, when my wife passed away. They are very professional, sensitive and caring people who truly help ease the stress of taking care of arrangements. Their attention to detail in helping the celebration of my wife's life go smoothly was exactly the support we needed.
