Sarah at Abbey funerals was so professional and kind helping me to organise my nephew’s funeral in September 2025.
She chose an ideal celebrant for the service.
Also when my family and I were driven to the Crematorium, Steve and his team acted in a dignified yet warm and friendly manner.
Everything ran so smoothly and it was a beautiful farewell for my nephew. All who attended had high praise for the service.
Thank you so much Sarah, Steve and all the team at Abbey’s.

Very happy with the service and respectful treatment the company gave to my Mum. Sadly the music we chose was unable to be used for technical reasons at the crematorium.

James from Abbey Funeral Services guided us through this process with dignity and kindness. Also Carol Taylor, our celebrant was excellent and gave us a wonderful service. Our family would like to thank you for taking care of Mike so well.

Arranging a funeral for a loved one  is heartbreaking and the staff at Abbeys helped to make this task as easy as possible. They treated my family and I  with the utmost care, respect and compassion. Sarah was so helpful guiding my family and I through this very difficult time. I cannot recommend Abbeys highly enough, they are all a most caring and professional team.

Everyone at Abbey was wonderful. They took all the stress off of our family at such a distressing time and were so helpful in finding a marvellous lady to do the flower memorials and dealing with the church and vicar arrangements.
I thoroughly recommend their services.

5 Lynn Humphreys 30th Aug 2025

Abby are just amazing. They help you every step of the way, nothing is too much trouble. Their personal service is second to none. I would always use them and always have. 

5 Mike Hibbs 28th Jul 2025

We couldn't have asked for a better funeral service than Abbey gave us. Their kind, compassionate approach made one of life's most difficult times a little easier. Thank you to all the staff for everything.

5 Julie Barter 21st Jul 2025

Abbey Funeral Services organised my late mother's funeral arrangements. As we are a small family, we couldn't face a big service in the Crematorium. A direct cremation was decided upon but we needed a company with a High St presence and excellent reviews who stood by their ethos. They communicated with us throughout. We wanted peace of mind that my mother was picked up from hospital and was delivered safely to their Chapel of Rest where we could all go and visit her and pay our respects. We had the comfort of knowing she was safe in their hands all the time, which lessened the trauma of it all. My mother was never alone and with Abbey all the way to her final Resting Place. AFS took all the stress out of what was already a very emotional time. We highly recommend them.

Karen from Abbey Funerals carried out all the arrangements for Vivs funeral.
The first and main thing she gave us was her time and support taking away the stress and worry. She removes any taboo about death and just made the situation copeable. The whole team were available to answer questions and actually felt like part of our family. Speaking on behalf of all our family, we would have no hesitation in recommending Abbey Funeral Services to conduct a funeral thanks to all

5 Philip Mills 19th Jul 2025

Choosing a funeral director when a loved one has died is a unique experience. You are looking for a professional service, where everything is going to run smoothly, but also where the staff are compassionate and understanding. Whilst cost is a consideration, this is one occasion that people are unlikely to shop around.
My sister and I were planning and organising the funeral in accordance with our late brother's wishes but, as my sister lives abroad, ultimately it was down to me to choose an organisation. I had met Chris Parker through the Friends Together bereavement group and so we made an appointment with Abbey Funeral Services.
From the moment we met Sharon, all the arrangements felt like they were in safe hands. No request was too small or difficult and the contact we had between meeting Sharon and the funeral was perfect - we felt everything was what we had chosen and updates given along the way were regular but not intrusive. It was Abbey who recommended a celebrant to us and both my sister and I felt that she was a perfect fit. I'm sure a part of that was Sharon listening to us talk about our brother and his character and recommending somebody who could offer support and understand the service we required.

Abbey took care of everything for us, even sorting the finances with the funeral plan my brother had in place. Their professionalism and compassion meant that on the day of the funeral, all we were required to do was grieve for our brother and pay our last respects.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Abbey Funeral Services to anybody.

Lovely caring people who make everything run effortlessly at a difficult time. Used Abbey a couple of times before and they are brilliant. Have always passed their name onto others.

5 Tracy Williams 17th Jul 2025

Abbey funeral services, treated us with kindness and compassion when dealing with my mum’s funeral, especially Karen Barker, she guided us through every step of the process and went above and beyond, especially when my mums ashes were interred in the vault at the cemetery, I cannot thank Karen and the whole team at abbey funeral services enough for all they did in looking after mum in her final journey.

5 Ann Jones 17th Jul 2025

I was very pleased with Abbey in particular with Sharon who was so reassuring and helpful in every way. She came to the house and talked everything through with my eldest son and his wife and myself. If a death and funeral can be perfect Gerard’s certainly was. Thank you so much. Ann Jones 

5 Rob Burt 17th Jul 2025

Abbey are without question a very caring and professional company, but more so they showed much empathy when helping me organise the funeral of my late mother. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you, bless you all at Abbey.

Amazing Team, my thanks to you all.

5 Simon Morris 17th Jul 2025

I cannot fault the service that Abbey provided to my sister and I at such a difficult time. The service throughout the process was exceptional. James in particular who dealt with the  majority of the organisation was such a kind person to deal with.
Also the pallbearers on the day who were again first class. Thank you so much for doing such a great job for my dear Mum
