  • 5 Nigel Slater 9th Dec 2021

    Absolutely 1st class. From the 1st (almost 3 hour meeting in person) to discuss what was needed and what our options were, through all of the help, support and admin organised by RWFS to arrange my Mum's funeral, up to the team on the day of the funeral (and subsequently in helping us with interment), everything has been efficient, clear and professional, while being sympathetic, supportive and sensitive. I cannot fault RWFS and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them unreservedly. Thank you very much for your help

  • 5 Jacqueline Robinson 7th Nov 2021

    My brother passed away in Spain I needed a internal funeral director to bring Luke back home. I was given Richard ward number by my solicitor. I had no idea how to, or what to do to bring luke.

    Richard talked me through what needed to be done to get the ball rolling .
    I can’t explain how for the first time felt I was in good hand .
    Every step of the way  no matter what time of the day or night I could get in contact I knew I could get the help I needed to get things done. I brought my brother home what a relief . I now needed to sort out a memorial , again Richard took the lead helped me do an sort every thing I needed and wanted.

    I would recommend Richard Wards funeral services Ltd, to anyone that need that personal touch understanding ,professionalism , kindness . 5 stars is not enough for what was done for me . Would and will recommend them to anyone .
     
    Thank you so much  Richard and your team .

    JacquelineRobinson .
