  • 4 Betty Potts 26th Jul 2023

    COMUNICATION NOT VERY GOOD IN LEAD UP TO FUNERAL.

    EVERYTHING ELSE FINE.

  • 4 John Ball 4th Jul 2023

    I would have liked to mark the service as excellent but for a glitch in the erroneous interpretation of the costing in the Funeral Plan. I accept your apology for this error as being more directed towards the wording of the plan but within the context of the situation to receive an unexpected request for a quite amount of money could be traumatic.

  • 5 Laurence Spary 30th Jun 2023

    Sam is an angel and she provided us as a family with so much compassion for dawn through her stay with you 

  • 4 Amy Brady 23rd Jan 2023

    Maybe it was the Christmas holidays. I felt there was a lack of communication when I eventually spoke to someone I was too late to order a book of condolence the sane as our order of service, also too late to order lapel pins which we were able to sort out ourselves, when phoning to arrange a viewing in the Chapel of rest I was put through to what I think was a call centre ( not ideal) although sheryl called me soon after , she dealt with everything from then on ,Sheryl I found to be caring and compassionate which I really appreciated, The funeral on the day was a perfect send off , All staff in attendance were very caring and professional, so thank you .

    Bridfords organised everything as we asked and all went smoothly and happened in a dignified and calm manner. They were fantastic at keeping us updated and gently asked about things we hadn't thought of. They organised the order of service which was beautiful and Bill read the service on the day which was excellent Bill was kind and patient and kept everything on track.I would highly recommend Bridgefords.

    The service and advice that we received from Bridgford Funeralcare, Swinton was excellent. This was a very difficult time for the family and the staff were caring, compassionate and patient, taking time to explain the funeral protocol. Staff at the funeral itself were very professional and were on hand to offer much needed advice, the family would recommend the services of Bridgford Funeralcare.

  • 5 Janet Walker 12th Sep 2022

    We have buried both my dad and more recently my mum with bridgefords.
    Communication with them is great, they've always got time to help and add any last minute changes when needed.
    They looked after my parents really well and couldn't of asked for more from them.
    Would recommend bridgefords to anyone who wants a 5 star funeral with the peice of mind that there loved ones will be well taken care of and treated with the upmost of respect and dignity
