A very professional and caring family run business.

Michael Hodson 3rd Jun 2026

Valerie Hodson, sunrise 19/01/1945 – sunset 28/04/2026 The team at Gillots have known our family for over 4 decades. They have looked after our family members through the most difficult of times in the past. Valerie Hodson’s funeral was no different. Val, Mum, was treated with the utmost respect and care, at all times. Little things like knocking on the door of the room Mum was in, before entering, while we visited. Zowie in Selston was pivotal in helping make all the arrangements and guiding us through what is inevitably an upsetting process. From the day we first met through to Mums Day, Zowie was always there to help, providing answer to the hard questions and the easy questions equally, with sympathy and respect. Thanks Zowie. On the day the team were perfect and helped us give Mum the day we hoped for and a day she would have been proud of us too. A day we will remember forever A day we couldn’t have managed with the full Gillotts team from top to toe There is no one else we would ever use

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐




    We cannot thank Gillotts Funeral Directors enough for the incredible support we received during such a difficult time. From our very first meeting with Zowie, we were met with outstanding care, compassion, professionalism, and genuine respect.




    Zowie’s patience and attention to detail were second to none—nothing was ever too much trouble. She guided us gently through every step, offering reassurance when we needed it most, and made an incredibly hard experience feel more manageable. Thanks to her, everything came together perfectly.




    Danni was also amazing, and every member of staff we encountered was kind, caring, and supportive. They truly go above and beyond for the families they help.




    They really are angels on earth, and they should be so proud of the difference they make during such emotional times.




    We would like to sincerely thank them for everything.

Their compassion was so genuine and they made it so easy for me at such a difficult time. I will be forever grateful for that. Thank you to everyone. Maria and family.

    I was so grateful for the kindness and care received during such a difficult time. Zowie was incredibly compassionate, flexible, and always there to guide me with thoughtful advice and reassurance. She made everything feel manageable and the funeral went beautifully. I truly couldn’t have asked for better support. 

  • 5 Mick Howes 17th Mar 2026

    From the very first phone call after losing grandad, we knew as a family that we’d chosen the right funeral home to look after him. Zowie is a credit to the Gillotts Selston team and made a very difficult time that bit easier. It is clear to see that it is more than just a job to her, she genuinely cares. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always on hand to answer any questions we had. She also chose the most perfect celebrant - Helen, who provided a beautiful service. 
    Both Zowie and Danni (the Funeral Director) treated my grandad with the utmost respect and although he was adamant he didn’t want a fuss, we know my grandad would have been very happy. Thank you so much x

    Both Danni and Zowie were professional and empathetic whilst helping us with our Mum’s funeral, at a very sad time for our family.

  • 5 Clive Basinger 23rd Jan 2026

    Gillotts Funeral Directors, what can I say, they arranged everything for me taking all the worry and stress away right from the outset to the very end of the funeral allowing me to mourn in my own time.
    I am eternally grateful to Danni and Zowie for being so compassionate and understanding of my needs and for being always available to help when needed.
    My sadness and heartache will never go away but at least my dear wife’s funeral went without a hitch and everyone who attended agreed that it was a lovely service.

  • 5 Terry Bown 30th Dec 2025

    During one of the most difficult times for our family, the staff (particularly Danni and Zoey) showed exceptional compassion and professionalism. From the very first conversation, they were patient, kind and attentive to every detail. They took the time to explain all options clearly and never made us feel rushed or pressured.
    The service was handled with great care and dignity, and everything was organised exactly as promised.
    Their support made a painful experience much more manageable, and we are deeply grateful for the respect and empathy they showed.
    Our family would highly recommend Gillotts to anyone in need of compassionate and professional care.
