Professional, caring & compassionate. Chris you were amazing.

5 Jennifer Bailey 18th Aug 2026

The team at Graham Ward are all amazing, respectful, and go all out to help you have you feel at ease in the worst situation.
Over the last year they have helped with both our Dad and Mum, with our Dad we were like dear in the headlights, never having to do it before. The team went above and beyond and never, we felt helped and relieved. There is no pressure on anything, and if you don’t see anything you want to include, they will go out of their way to help you get it. 
Our mum requested a home visit to plan her own funeral, nothing was too much. Just like our mum requested Mark (celebrant) delivered everything perfectly, capturing our mum’s personality to a T from a few stories he had been told. We as a family will forever be grateful to the whole team for helping with our final send off’s for the two most important people in our lives.

The whole team led by Chris Flint at Graham Ward Funeral Service were professional, compassion and sensitive throughout our whole journey with them. 
Not only were they kind & considerate whilst communicating constantly with us, they also allowed us to have time and space to reflect on our options. We felt confident that our family member was in safe hands.
We’d definitely recommend Graham Ward Funeral Service. 

5 Chris Foster 1st Jun 2026

Graham Ward, in my case Chris, made coping with a very sad and stressful time so much easier right from the start.
From helping compassionately with all the decisions to be made for the actual day, the staff on the day, the celebrant Mark, through to the final scattering of the ashes. It was exactly what I and my family needed and thank them all wholeheartedly.

5 Carol Adams 5th May 2026

Everything went smoothly. Everyone I had conversations with was helpful, caring, professional & kind. They went out of their way to make the day special & as easy as possible. Such a lovely, friendly company who I wholeheartedly recommend. 

5 Michelle Cops 26th Apr 2026

We recently entrusted Graham Ward Funeral Directors in Hucknall with the care of our beloved 9-year-old grandson, Kyson, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassion, creativity, and respect they showed our family during such a heartbreaking time.




From the very beginning, Chris and his team went above and beyond to make Kyson’s farewell truly personal and unforgettable. Knowing how much Kyson loved Star Wars, they arranged the most incredible tribute — with stormtroopers respectfully leading the procession and a beautifully themed Star Wars van following the hearse, playing the music he adored. It was both moving and magical, and perfectly captured his spirit.




What could have been an overwhelming day was handled with such care, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and nothing felt too much trouble. They gave us a send-off that truly honoured Kyson’s life and brought comfort to everyone who attended.




We will be forever grateful to Chris and the entire team for creating such a meaningful and memorable tribute. Thank you for helping us say goodbye in a way that felt so special to Kyson.




Highly recommended — a truly outstanding service at a time when it matters most.

5 Sally Chilcott 27th Mar 2026

A complete five star service - from the start of the phone call in the early hours to come and look after our mum to the end of the day of the funeral, Graham Ward Funeral Directors could not have been more helpful or professional. Chris was compassionate and accommodating to our every request, dealing promptly with any query we raised. On the day everything ran smoothly and nothing was too much trouble - we had great confidence that all would run as it should, and it did. Thank you for helping us with such a difficult process, it was very much appreciated. 

5 Stephen Colson 7th Mar 2026

This is the third time we have used Graham Ward Funeral services.

Their service is exceptional, handling our dear department with dignity and respect.

Chris was brilliant, he advised us on the process all the way through and kept me informed on what was happening.

The service was dealt with efficiently and professionally and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

So glad my Mum chose Graham Ward for her funeral arrangements.

5 Jayne Paulson 20th Jan 2026

This was the second time we had Wards provide our funeral service, this time for our mum (previously our dad).
Right from the first contact they were again incredible- supportive, kind, professional.  Every request we had was dealt with immediately. 

Chris in particular could not possibly have been kinder and more profession in his highly personable approach.  Thank you so much, we knew we were all in very good hands.

5 Debra Purdy 29th Dec 2025

The care and understanding I received from start to finish was exceptional and truly made the situation so much easier to deal with.
Will went above and beyond to help with family situations and to try and help and sort things out for us.
The standard of cars and the way everyone dealt with us on the day was amazing and would definitely recommend.

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.
