Graham Ward Funeral Service

5 Ruth Taylor 8th Aug 2025

From our first meeting Will & Chris were fantastic they helped us through one of life’s most difficult times after losing our mum. Their help and guidance was invaluable, it was such a comfort knowing mum was being looked after with such care and respect. The drivers couldn’t have been kinder. Thank you all so much. 

5 Jennifer Bailey 3rd Aug 2025

Everything from start to finish was done professionally, perfectly, and personal like we was one big family. Mark, Chris, and Craig made this heartbreaking experience run as smooth as it could, and as perfect as it could.
We would like to wholeheartedly thank you all at Graham Wards for everything you have done and helped us with.
Thank you
Steven, Jenni, and Andrew.

Graham Ward Funeral Services took the greatest of care of our beloved sister and daughter, gentling guiding us through the practicalities and legalities with kindness, compassion and reassurance.

At a time when our hearts were breaking and we didn’t know what next, Chris was there to help and explain, reassure and then explain again at the right moments because we forgot. 

Chris made everything go perfectly, he took the stress away, nothing was too much trouble, from taking over the design & printing of our bespoke Order of Service when things went array our side, to transporting the flowers after the funeral to an alternate location, the attention to detail was simply perfect. 

This was the 2nd time we’d used Graham Ward, the first was 10 years ago for dad, dad was in a nursing home at the time and we’d had time to think about what we wanted, we had a religious service in a church and a burial.

For our sister, she passed way too earl ... y in hospital and we didn’t have time to think or plan. Chris arranged our bespoke none-religious service, which included a fantastic celebrant who captured the very heart and nature of our sister, a bespoke photo slide show (which we created but Chris ensured was perfect & could/would have arranged) and a cremation. 

I couldn’t recommend Graham Ward Funeral Services more highly and when we next need his services I wont hesitate to use them. more

The service from Chris & the team at Graham Ward's was of the highest quality from start to finish. We felt reassured & safe in their care.
