  • 5 Rebecca Barker 20th Sep 2026

    I cannot thank Orlando at Oak Funeral Services enough for the kindness, compassion, and professionalism he showed during the most difficult time of my life.

    My husband died by suicide at just 39, leaving me and our three young children devasted. I wanted a very simple, private service and throughout the entire process I felt listened to, respected and supported.

    They handled a difficult family situation with great professionalism, keeping me informed throughout, and ensuring my wishes were communicated and respected. Their calm guidance and sensitivity made an unbearable time a little easier to bear.

    I will always be grateful for the dignity and care they showed my husband and for the support they gave me and my family. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    I cannot thank Mark enough, for all he has done for me, during this very difficult time.  I really was like a rabbit in headlights, not knowing where to start, or what to do but Mark guided me through each step and process, allowing me to go at my pace.  He really has gone above and beyond to ensure my requests were fulfilled (and I can be quite needy!) The service was absolutely beautiful and everything went through flawlessly.  Thank you so much for absolutely everything you have done and continue to do.
