The Team at Bournes, have always given our family outstanding service, particularly Ben, communication was easy, the room for resting & viewing was perfect.  I cannot recommend Bournes enough as I had to have my husband returned to UK, it was all handled smoothly & with compassion 💯

I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team at Bournes. They are quietly efficient, kind and genuinely thoughtful in every element of preparing for and delivering a funeral. They looked after my family last year for my mother’s funeral and again recently for my father. Special mention to Ben, who has been professional, compassionate and warm on both occasions.

I honestly cannot thank Bournes Funeral Directors enough for the kindness, compassion and care they showed our family at the most heartbreaking time of our lives.




From the very beginning, we felt completely reassured that our lovely Dad was in the best possible hands. Nothing ever felt rushed, we were given all the time we needed, and everything was handled with such dignity, patience and genuine compassion.




At a time when you feel completely lost and overwhelmed, having people you can trust to take care of someone so precious to you means more than words can say. We always felt that Dad was being treated with the utmost respect and care, and that brought us such comfort.




The kindness shown to us throughout, and the care taken in making sure Dad received the beautiful send-off he deserved, is something we will never forget.




We will always be incredibly grateful to everyone at Bournes for looking after our Dad, and us, so wonderfully. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough. ❤️

We recently used the services of Bournes Funeral Service, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ben, Catherine, and Hayley for the compassion and professionalism they showed throughout the entire process. From the very first phone call to the day of the service, each of them offered support, understanding, and genuine care during an incredibly difficult time.
Their guidance was gentle and reassuring, and nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal. They handled every detail with dignity and thoughtfulness, helping to create a service that truly honoured our loved one.
I am deeply grateful to them for making a very hard time feel a little easier. Their kindness and attentiveness meant so much, and I would not hesitate to recommend Bournes Funeral Service to others seeking compassionate support.

5 Liam Fernand 15th Mar 2026

Bournes were really superb. They handled dealing with 4 people contacting them easily and were on top of everything. They (Ben) made great suggestions for our order of service and the designer got it right, 1st time, receiving mutliple files and incorporating them easily. During the service they made everything easy and helped make the day go smoothly so we could concentrate on the other things. They presented my Dad well, he looked good despite it being a month since he died. They know what they are doing and are good at, just what you need at a time of grief.

5 Rishi Kapoor 17th Feb 2026

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the care, compassion, empathetic and professionalism you showed while arranging our father Subhash’s funeral.


During such a difficult and emotional time for our family, your kindness, patience and attention to every detail meant more to us than words can say. You guided us through each step with such dignity and respect, ensuring everything was handled beautifully and exactly as we had hoped.


Thank you for giving our father the send-off he truly deserved and for supporting us with such warmth and understanding throughout. We will forever be grateful.
