  • 5 Barry DEVLIN 10th Feb 2025

    Sadly I have had to use Littleprouds & Son on two occasions, as sad as it has been I would highly recommend using Littleprouds & son, they are a very professional and caring company, who make a very difficult situation a little more easier to deal with.
    They ensure that you are kept fully informed and deal with absolutely everything to make sure the day of the funeral and the process leading up to it are as you and your loved ones would want it to be.

  • 5 Paul KNOCK 10th Feb 2025

    Littleprouds & Son have looked after members of our family for years, the dedication & care that they bring to a sad time is second to none & makes this final journey that much easier to deal with

  • 5 Phillippa PARKIN 8th Feb 2025

    We have used Littleprouds for all our family members who have sadly passed on. I cannot recommend them enough. They were so kind and helpful when my wonderful sister passed away in September.

  • 5 Zandra WATERFORD 8th Feb 2025

    I am so happy I chose Littlepround & Sons for my husband’s funeral.  Because of family commitments, and that our children live or work abroad, it was necessary to work in a short timescale. Paul was absolutely incredible arranging everything so we could all be present.  From start to finish I cannot thank him enough for his kindness, understanding and hard work at such a sad time.  He was there to help and went above and beyond what I would have expected. 
    Thank you so much Paul, and your family and staff, for making a very moving ceremony go so smoothly.

  • 5 Peter STATHAM 6th Feb 2025

    Paul and his team were excellent from start to finish, incredibly accommodating and kind.
