Very professional and caring throughout this difficult and sad time. Nothing was too much trouble, advised, organised and kept in touch regularly before, during and even after the funeral.  I would wholly recommend them to everyone, their services were Excellent. 

Pam Rowan 10th Feb 2024

The whole experience was well and sensitively managed and, despite the obvious sadness of the occasion, Oak Funeral Services made all the necessary arrangements work seamlessly on the day.  The team were kind, considerate and empathetic every step of the way.

Kim Bishop 5th Feb 2024

Were able to contact them very quickly in the evening to come and collect my late mother, once she had been certified dead, they gave us a time that evening and were on time. They were very efficient, compassionate and very thorough and were always on the end of the phone or email to discuss arrangements very promptly. Would thouroughly recommend them.

  • 5 Jean Warmsley 5th Feb 2024

    I was very pleased with the funeral on 24 January in Williton. The willow coffin and flowers were just what I wanted and the cortege with Orlando processing in front, the hearse and bearers all very smart were impressive. As I live in Essex and the funeral was to be in Somerset, Orlando was most helpful in explaining what would happen on the day and Revd Phillips also had to deal with me by text and phone. My family and guests who attended told me it was very satisfactory as indeed it was. Jean Walmsley 5/2/24

    Oak funeral services managed both of my parents funerals as they had requested.Having pre arranged this themselves was their final way of caring for us children.They had put their trust in Oak funerals and they were right to do so.Mark showed a perfect balance of professionalism and kindness and was there at every stage to support. I would highly recommend them .

  • 5 Sharon Binding 21st Aug 2023

    Orlando organised a lovely service. Nothing was to much trouble and he stayed in contact with us the whole time. 
    The flowers our uncle loved were not in season but that didn’t stop Orlando with the beautiful gift of a daffodil bulb for everyone to plant. He went above and beyond. 
    Orlando made a difficult time a lot easier with his knowledge and compassion. 
    I would and will recommend you to anyone. 

  • 5 Charley Binding 21st Aug 2023

    Orlando was fantastic and went above and beyond, even adding a surprise extra touch of little bags of daffodil bulbs for everyone that attended; it was our loved ones favourite flower but they were out of season and couldn’t be included in the flower arrangements. So so thoughtful. 

    Orlando thank you, you made a difficult day run so smoothly, and we’re always on hand to answer questions.  

  • 5 Koel Mukherjee 17th Aug 2023

    Orlando provided us with an excellent service for our mum. He was compassionate and respectful to my mum throughout and kept us informed at every stage. He also went above and beyond to find an obscure song that we requested for the service, which we really appreciated.

  • 5 Simone Buller 9th Aug 2023

    Thank you to all at Oak Funeral Service for helping us give my Mum the send off she deserved. I could not have asked for a better day.

    My Mum had cancer so she was able to meet with the team prior to leaving us. From that point on the service provided was excellent, making sure my Mums wishes were met.

    The team guided us to make sure every detail was thought about so the day was perfect. I would 100% recommend Oak Funeral Services.

  • 5 Marilyn Binding 1st Aug 2023

    I found Orlando’s help and advice extremely valuable. He was there for me every step of the way, and helped coordinate everything for what proved to be an exceptional farewell to my dear husband, Richard 
    Thank you Orlando 

  • 5 Mark Jennings 26th Apr 2023

    Oak Funeral Services were very helpful from our first meeting and guided us through the whole process of making funeral arrangements for our late Dad. The Funeral Director and his colleagues were very caring and respectful on the day of the church service and guided and supported the close family on this very difficult occasion. The Order of Service booklet that they produced for us was excellently done.

  • 5 Stephen Pike 19th Apr 2023

    Very helpful and informative information given to us by the excellent staff at Oak funeral services, one the day of the funeral very supportive of our family and the wishes for the service, very highly recommended

  • 5 Claire Barnes 15th Nov 2022

  • 5 Sarah-Jane Knight 11th Oct 2022

    They have gone the extra mile looking after my mum on her final journey, 
    They have looked after me and my boys and any suggestions I had were met and beyond 
    You can’t ask for a lovely young man Orlando and Julie is perfect in every way, I highly recommend them to any body, 

    Thank you will never be enough to thank you, you all have a special place in my heart for life xx

  • 5 Katherine MacGilchrist 30th Sep 2022

    Mark and Orlando at Oak Funeral Services were excellent, extremely helpful in guiding me through the decisions to be made and mindful of informing me of aspects that would impact costs. Thank you very much indeed for your professional and caring approach throughout.

  • 5 Grace Cleverdon 15th Jul 2022

    The funeral went very smoothly,  thanks to Oak funeral services. 

  • 5 Mohan Scott 10th Jul 2022

    I can not recommend Oakwood enough. I have lost my mother and father a year apart and they have been excellent on both occasions. In my father's instance, my sister was visiting from Australia and was leaving shortly after his death so Orlando from Oakwood worked around the clock to try and organise his cremation in time before she left.
    Thank you all for such exceptional service over such difficult times.

  • 5 Nigel Gazzard 12th Mar 2022

    Thank you for organising everything on our behalf. You made it very easy for us and kept us informed throughout to ensure a very memorable service for my Dad. 

  • 5 Trudy Thomson 4th Mar 2022

    When I contacted Oak funeral services, they showed understanding and empathy to my needs and feelings. They clearly explained my options, listening to what I wanted and offering valuable advice. The whole experience was made easier. The service was just what we hoped for. I can't thank Julie and the team enough.
