Really wonderful and caring service, nothing too much, every question answered quickly and with thoughtfulness. Felt really looked after at a most vulnerable time.

I have had no experience in dealing and organising a loved ones funeral (starting place) for me 3 weeks ago. Finishing place... I still don't have any experience in organising a loved ones funeral, what I do have though is the memories of best possible send-off and final good-byes to my dear Mum. All thanks the John and is team... Love the Handley's

At such a traumatic time at losing Mick, John was just so reassuring and understanding. The whole process was made so easy and comfortable. Everything was explained and our own ideas were all well received. Lucy who took Mick and ourselves through the crematorium service was also very lovely. The pall bearers ( friend’s & family) who had never done it before were put at ease and everything went smoothly. We had a photo montage and it all was streamed to Australia live which all worked perfectly. They also recommended Alex as our celebrant who was just superb. She came and spent an hour with the family and the same day had written the best eulogy which summed Mick up perfectly. Would definitely recommend Fielders for a personal, friendly and professional service.
