I was very pleased with everything that they did for
my dad. Thank you
5Leslie Powell27th 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.

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.
5Kathryn Masterman11th Sep 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.

5Liam Lowey13th 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!

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.
5Gloria Russell13th May 2021
