    All the staff at Brooks were very sympathetic and kind. They were extremely understanding regarding the difficulties I faced with registering the death of my sister. The staff also advised me how to deal with the housing department at Ealing council. The fee charges were very reasonable and we're returned promptly to me when the DWP paid them all in all I was extremely satisfied with the respect in dealing with Lillians funeral ⚱️ I wish to thank them whole heartedly Edwina Maria Kamsika Griffiths

    I cannot thank Roy and his team at Brooks enough for the compassion, professionalism and care they provided during such a difficult time. From the moment we contacted them, the staff were kind and attentive to every detail. They guided us through the entire process, taking time to understand our needs, making a very difficult time a little easier for our family. We truly appreciated it and would highly recommend them and their services to anybody.

    Very professional and a great bunch of people helped me every step of the way would highly recommend them .

  • 5 Steve McEvoy 13th May 2025

    Robert, Roy and team have organised two funerals for me, one for a close friend, on for my father.  As I work in live events, I have approached both in many ways as events to produce, rather than emotional events, mainly to protect myself.  On both occasions, Brooks were respectful and compassionate as the occasion demanded, but also straightforward, practical and professional which was the way I wanted to approach things. I recommend them without reservation.

  • 3 Anna Gillespie 13th May 2025

    They pronounced our names wrong despite being told beforehand and messed up a hymn which didn't appear on the projector. Lacked lustre and displaying little passion when reading the eulogies

  • 5 Barbara Rossi 5th Mar 2025

    I want to thank all the team at Brooks but especially Abigail for the handling of my father's cremation. Communication was empathetic, professional and fast. Pricing is also transparent. I would recommend their services wholeheartedly. 

    Many thanks, 

    Barbara R.

    From the initial consultation I felt at ease at a very difficult time.
    Nothing was to much trouble and all members of staff were professional and attentive at all times.
    The florist and reverent that were recommended by Brook's were excellent.
    The day could not have gone any better and friends and family that attended commented how good it was and that was thanks to everyone at Brook's. Thank You Very Much.

  • 4 Geanette Omoshebi 21st Jan 2025

    The Brooke’s team were excellent. I would recommend highly. I appreciated the pricing structure as costs can spiral. I would have liked a tiny more up front information as I felt I was having to discover things as I went along but I always felt that I was in excellent hands. The service itself was beautifully, respectfully and sensitively handled. I hope not to need them anytime soon but will certainly use them in the future when I need to.

    I cannot thank Roy enough for making such a sad day beautiful. His kindness, understanding, compassion and professionalism were so reassuring. We felt well taken care of, nothing was too much trouble. On the day of the funeral they treated my family and I so well and helped the day go so smoothly we will always be grateful. Abigail who we met when we visited dad before the burial treated us with such a gentle manner it was gratefully received by our grieving family. I throughly recommend Brooks Family Funeral Directors.
