Pamela Mainstone 6th Jul 2025

From my first meeting with Charlie through to the actual day, I have nothing but praise for the kindness shown to me and my daughters. Nothing was too much trouble. My request for ... a silver hearse and for the pall bearers to wear blue ties was carried out perfectly, and she accommodated my daughters phobia of coffins without question. Charlie was available to contact whenever necessary, and kept checking that I was okay and happy with proceedings. She made a difficult situation so much easier and I will be forever grateful. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this company. Thank you all. more

  • 5 Lucy Burrows 10th Apr 2023

    Hello to everyone at Waters and Sons. You have all been amazing from start to finish for the funeral of our beloved mum Betty. You were there for our every need and I really felt you cared about mum and giving her the best send off possible, so thank you so much. I will speak of you all highly to everyone. Even collecting mum from the care home when she first passed away, you were there so quickly and by our side through the whole process which helped with the pain and stress of mum passing so suddenly. We can't thank you enough. Best service ever 👍

  • 5 Judi Bowden 28th Mar 2023

    So supportive and made the hardest day of my life easier as they had everything under control 
    Extremely respectful, but human in their approach when dealing with all members of the team 

  • 5 Helen Wright 12th Mar 2023

    I was very pleased with everything that they did for
     my dad. Thank you

  • 5 Leslie Powell 27th Sep 2022

    I was very impressed with the way that Waters & Sons (Aldermoor) handled my husband's Funeral. I walked in, off the street, on Monday morning after my husband died on Friday. It was Jason's first day and must have been a baptism of fire for him.
    They kept me in touch at all times, and double-checked every item on the service to ensure that it all went smoothly.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending this organisation to anyone.

  • 5 Mike Davies 26th Sep 2022

    Having read the many positive online reviews that Waters & Sons has, our family decided to place our trust in them to arrange the funeral of my late brother, Jon. We are so glad we did, as the service Waters & Sons has provided has been absolutely faultless; from my first call to them, right through to the funeral service, itself, and even beyond that. I would mention, in particular, Marisa, who has been so caring, compassionate and professional throughout, as well as David, who ensured that, on the day, the funeral service went just as we had wanted it to. Thank you, Waters & Sons, for helping us through such a difficult time.

  • 5 Pauline Masterman 11th Sep 2022

    We were guided every step of the way by Marisa. Any questions we asked were answered quickly and with empathy. Nothing was too much trouble. Every single member of staff were wonderful.

  • 5 Amanda Brindle 24th Aug 2022

    We were so grateful for the help and guidance shown by Tracey at your Aldermoor branch. Tracey organised and arranged our Mum's funeral and burial with such professionalism. She produced an outstanding Order of Service, and was always prompt with any updates. We are so grateful for the dignity and respect Simon and his team showed towards my Mum. We would not hesitate to recommend or use in the future.

  • 4 Denise Hall 30th Mar 2022

    We were very pleased with the service that we were given by David and the team at Waters and Sons. They were always on hand to answer any queries or ease any worries. We worked mainly with David at the Aldermoor branch and he was very approachable, friendly and considerate in his communications and general manner. We are so grateful for how smoothly the service went on the day and would definitely recommend them.

  • 5 Maddison Buxey 8th Mar 2022

    Waters and sons went above and beyond to help my dad and support us as a family I’m forever going to be thankful for this. 

  • 5 Liam Lowey 13th Jan 2022

    David Waters provided the care for my Father's funeral, and we could not have been more pleased with his handling of it. David impressed me with his calm and appropriate demeanour yet rigorous attention to detail. David is a real credit to his business, and I would not hesitate to recommend Waters and Sons.

    It was a small cremation service. David helped us through the journey, picking the various things that need to be decided, making sensible guided choices where we were unfamiliar.

    Thank you David and of course the other team members at Waters and Sons!

  • 5 Cathryn Mason 2nd Jan 2022

    We were looked after by David from Waters and sons who was professional and kind throughout. He guided us through the process, explained things we were uncertain of and made helpful suggestions. 
    The communication in person was clear and response to emails and subsequent questions prompt.
    On the day of the funeral everything was as we expected and we were treated with respect and understanding of our elderly frail mother.

  • 5 Tracey Buckley 17th Dec 2021

    Waters & Sons were exceptional, fantastic service. David was so very kind, helpful and keep us informed at every stage, at such a very sad and stressful time it was made so much easier, we would highly recommend Waters & Sons.
