Chittenden, Hythe, gave first class service in every respect. They were compassionate and kind, efficient, knowledgeable and organised. Vanessa and Tom were both respectful, caring and professional. It was Vanessa I dealt with most and her emotional intelligence and listening skills are outstanding.  Everything went perfectly, at the planning stage and at the funeral itself. I wholeheartedly recommend this funeral company.

    Excellent service from Chittenden Funeral Care. Vanessa made the process much easier to navigate, covering all the necessary details with care and sensitivity, making the necessary changes to the date of the funeral due to our unforeseen family difficulties, and giving timely advice when needed.

  • 5 Andrew Herbert 18th Dec 2023

    I recently had the unfortunate experience of needing to plan a funeral for my stepfather. As expected, it was a difficult and emotional time for my elderly mother. However, Chittendens made the process very easy.

    Vanessa from Chittendens was professional, compassionate, and understanding. She took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and provided us with all the necessary information and options to make informed decisions. They also showed great respect for our wishes, ensuring that everything was handled with care and sensitivity.

    On the day of the funeral Vanessa was there every step of the way, making sure that everything ran smoothly. They were calm, composed, and respectful

    I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a funeral director. Thank you for everything.

I cannot commend them enough.

    A special thank you to Vanessa and Jane, who dealt with dad’s funeral and were professional, as well as very kind and compassionate .
