very good helpful very caring nothing was to much trouble Paul went out of his way this was my second funeral in a matter of months

John MILLS 5th Feb 2025

The professionalism and attention to detail was exceptional. Adrian who managed my late wife's funeral was very attentive, listened carefully to my requests and fulfilled everything we agreed. One example of attention to detail was that, at the end of the service, I had chosen John Rutter's arrangement of 23rd psalm. This has a very long instrumental introduction, before the choir starts. Adrian and the bearers, waited quietly, whilst the introduction played, so that, as the coffin left the church it was accompanied by the 23rd psalm words. Whilst this had not been specifically discussed during the preparations, it demonstrated the awareness and care exercised. This was so comforting and typical of my whole experience with Littleproud and Son.

    Littleproud were utterly faultless. They made a difficult time so much easier. They took so much trouble in getting everything exactly as we wanted it and nothing was too much trouble. I am very grateful to Paul and his team. 

  • 5 Philip Vincent 16th Oct 2024

    I cannot thank Littleproud enough for their work handling my late Father's funeral and interment.


    Unless you have experienced handling the passing of a loved on you don't know what to do, where to start. In one respect My Father s passing was not unexpected and I had a day or two, at least, to find and try and contact Dad's chosen funeral directors. But they had changed hands and my contact attempts were fraught. A close friend of Dad's suggested I contact Littleproud who took the plan details and agreed to collet Dad when the time arrived. EVEN though they may not end up handling the funeral. From that point Paul at Littleproud handled everything. Thank you Paul and all your staff.
