It took several attempts to get the funeral plan organised which was disappointing . The service from Hallams was very caring and responsive to questions. The undertakers and funeral directors were very professional and respectful. Sincere thanks to them all

From the word go the funeral directors took all the stress away. They knew what we wanted and just made it easy. I can't thank them enough. I would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Karen King 2nd Oct 2023

    All through a very difficult time, we were helped and supported in a professional and caring way.
    When you need an extra special sort of care it was there for us. You only get one chance to get it right and Hallums helped us do that.
    Thank you

  • 5 Pamela Morgan 2nd Oct 2023

    Cannot fault the service we received for our mum. Mum was our world and had suffered horrendous pain in her last few years, she was 91 when she passed.  When we saw her the co-op had made her look 20 years younger, beautiful and totally at peace. Claire and Charlene were so supportive, helpful and caring.  We had the basic pre-paid plan, everything was great.  I highly recommend the co-op in Holbury Southampton- Thankyou 

  • 2 Rob Watkin 2nd Oct 2023

    We were really disappointed with the service we received from the funeral director. 
    We were disappointed to hear Barbara Ince couldn’t deal with the funeral as we have received so much compensation and help from Barbara and if it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have had any support or information about the funeral we would give Barbara a 5 star review but the service from the funeral director was no more than a 2!!! And we are now nearly 2 months on from the funeral and we’ve not been updated re collection of the ashes, very poor service

    Communication could have been better 

  • 5 Bonnie Gilfoy 11th Sep 2023

    This was my first time arranging a funeral. From the moment my daughter and I stepped foot into the funeral home we were treated with dignity and respect by Charlene. She listened to our needs and was able to reassure us that these would be met which they were. There was no pressure to add anything that was not necessary. This visit was followed up by e mail and a further follow up phone call to ensure everything was in place. The cremation went exactly as we had planned. Thank you for making an incredibly difficult time in our lives that little bit easier

  • 5 Margaret Green 11th Sep 2023

    Sharlene has been amazing showing great professionalism and empathy at the time when you need it most.
    Thank you so much.

  • 3 Pamela Shaw 22nd Aug 2023

    Given conflicting information about interment of ashes ar Beaulieu cemetary. Appointment made and cancelled. Added to distress at what is a very distressing time. Barbara and Clare very pleasant and empathetic but business seems to be hampered by too few staff.

  • 5 Clare Bartlett 7th Aug 2023

    Very helpful and caring. 

  • 5 Sally Harding 7th Aug 2023

    The funeral organisers and directors helped us give Dad the send off he would have wanted.

    They guided us through this difficult time with sympathy and understanding.

    They made sure we got exactly the music we wanted, by our chosen artists. This was very important for Dad, as music was a great passion for him.

    With special thanks to Charlene, Barbara and Claire; we will remember and cherish that day forever.

    Many thanks. Very best wishes. Sally and Sue.
