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!

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.

Excellent service and incredible staff
5Linda Haysom21st May 2021
Tracey was helpful and patient, as we made necessary choices at a difficult time, and she was able to make a some adjustments when I changed my mind.
Her work on the Order of Service was stunning and the Obituary Page was a focal point for charity donations.
My brother left a list of wishes for his funeral and these were accommodated without question.
The funeral service was organised brilliantly and we were consulted and advised during and after.
The Webcam was a particular success as we have family and friends abroad as well as those who could not attend due to Covid regulations.
We did have a few issues:-
- the Obituary Page wasn't able to be updated initially
- we increased the number of Orders of Service which was overlooked
However, both of these issues were satisfactorily resolved.
Overall, very impressed with the service and attention to detail.
