I was very happy with the advice and attention I received from Madeline, she was extremely kind and efficient giving me time and opportunity to make the right choices for the funeral. She always kept me informed and was prompt in returning calls. The office was well presented, clean and comfortable. Thank you.

    What a wonderful company, my mum had a lovely send off, thanks to Madeline, Gemma and Natalie for the understanding, thoughtfulness and support 

    Fantastic company 

  • 5 Elana Katz 20th Jan 2022

    The death of the love of my life has been the most difficult experience of my life, but I must say that the staff at Rackhams couldn’t have been kinder, more professional or helpful, thereby making the whole thing a lot easier than I’d have expected. From giving me as much time as I needed to sit with Christina to the respect they showed for her body and the professionalism with which they talked me through options. Nothing was too big a hurdle so we got everything we needed to make it a special send off that. Ours be shared with friends and family the world over. 

  • 5 Sally Webb 17th Jan 2022

    Very Nice people, kept me informed Through out there service Of my mother's cremation Can't thank them enough Well done to all .

  • 5 Karen Rigby 31st Dec 2021

    We were very impressed with the friendly, compassionate way in which we were treated by Gemma and Madeleine. If they weren't sure of something they would say so straight away and get back to us , which was refreshing.
    Everything went well at the funeral, thanks to their organisation. Gemma also made a follow-up call after the funeral to make sure all was well with us. Again, over and above the call of duty.
    Thank you very much for making a sad time more bearable.
