    Most impressive - unobtrusive dignity and respect throughout.

  • 5 Alison Hall 7th Jan 2019

    We first met Tracey at a local agricultural show and we knew from the off that we wanted Stoodleys to handle any funeral requirements we may have. Unfortunately we lost my Dad in early December and from the very beginning Stoodleys have been excellent. We had several unavoidable delays in sorting out the arrangements but nothing was too much trouble including rearranging appointments at short notice.

    When finally we were able to sit down with Tracey we felt at ease and able to discuss our requirements and select various options with her guidance. We engaged a Celebrant called Derren via Tracey and her services were equally as professional.

    On the day everything went without a hitch, the service was delivered by Derren with sensitivity and compassion and Tracey's team were seamless. I can't thank you all enough for making an extremely sad day a success. I would not hesitate to recommend you to local friends along with Derren if a Celebrant is required.

  • 5 Rachel Mather 9th Nov 2018

    Colin has been wonderful from the first time he came and met Stuart to plan his own funeral we felt like we were going to ok when the worst happened and we were right. From the time I rang Colin to tell him the sad news they treated Stuart with the care and dignity he deserved. He supported us to organise the celebration that stuart had planned we could not have asked for more. He was always approachable and made you feel at ease, even if you felt like you were asking silly questions! I could not recommend Colin and his team more. Thank you for everything. 

  • 5 Adrian Sturges 31st Oct 2018

  • 5 Peter Clark 7th Oct 2018

    Colin and his team were excellent at being sensitive to our families needs and helped us at a difficult time to do the best for our departed mothers funeral arrangements as she had wished it to be.
    Thank you to all from the Clark family.

  • 5 Miriam Hedges 1st Oct 2018

    Stoodleys had a friendly, comfortable, approachable way that gave us exactly what we needed and wanted. They helped us sort an informal, comfortable 'tailored-to-our-needs' tribute-service that respected our wishes for the deceased 'Bob', and was entirely respectable within a limited budget. Tracey supported us in a kind, caring and practical way, without hurrying us, and couldn't have done more to ensure that everything worked well and went smoothly both before, during and afterwards. Stoodleys seemed to understand our needs and went that extra mile to ensure the little touches were there too - many thanks for your kindness at this difficult time.

  • 5 Pamela Entwisle 1st Oct 2018

    A E Stoodley,  under their Funeral director Ms Tracey Warren, were very easy to deal with, from their first visit after my Husbands death, and subsequent visits they made all the decisions easy to make and were anxious to make this very difficult time for me and my children  as comfortable as possible. The Funeral service and interment were very well arranged and since then I have had such support from them including a bereavement support programme  which I feel will be of help with dealing with my grief.

  • 5 Sarah Bartlett 27th Sep 2018

    The funeral of Edward James Wilkins was lovely, everything Dad would have wanted and more.
    A big thank you to Colin from A.E Stoodley & Son for your expert guidance and support,
    also thank you to the Royal British Legion, for providing the Standard Barer and trumpet player, and thank you to Reverend Jonathan Morris for officiating the service.

    Thanks again Colin for putting it all together so smoothly and making a difficult that much easier.

    Kind Regards

    Daughter of deceased.
