5 Julie Scott 23rd May 2025

Izzy exceeded all expectations of what we could expect of a funeral director. Dignity, care,respect, kindness and compassion at the heart of all she said and did. She became the friend and confidente we didn't realise we needed! Nothing and nobody too much trouble for her, truly unsure how we would have navigated the unchartered waters in the early days without her

5 Lesley Swigciski 5th May 2025

Isobel has helped us all the way through. She has listened and worked on our wishes and has always been available for us. I and the rest of our family cannot praise her highly enough. My husband’s funeral was just perfect for us. Thank you Isobel!

Caring, compassionate, informative and supportive. 

Izzy took care of our Dad and then 6 months later our mum. 
When our world was torn apart Izzy was the glue that held us together and still checks in to see if we are ok. 

Very professional and I could not thank Izzy and her whole team enough for making the worst time of our lives more bearable. 

Thank you so much

Isobel, was extremely professional for the most difficult day of my life, from the first moment I spoke with her to the final day for my Mothers Funeral. I was truly blessed to find Isobel & very fortunate for her to be by my side through my final journey with my Mother. I highly recommend Isobel  & her services. It was such a personal perfect ending for my Mothers Funeral. Thank you Isobel from myself & the whole family. You are an Angel 😇

Isobel was brilliant - she handled our beloved Dad's funeral with great care, and we were really happy with the send-off she gave him.

5 Rose McGlynn 4th Aug 2024

Isobel had been very compassionate, professional and caring throughout the arrangement process.

Nothing has been too much trouble and myself and my family have been comfortable in her presence.  Lovely little touches for example candles and a book for grandchildren.  

Isobel fulfilled my husbands wishes whilst also allowing us to add our own personal touches.  

Thank you Isobel for everything x

I cannot speak highly enough about the personalised service we received from Isobel, she made a very sad time a little easier to bear . Nothing was too much trouble and she dealt with everything with compassion and empathy. I would recommend Isobel whole heartedly.

5 Annise Draper 15th May 2024

Andrew was very much loved Son who passed away at an early age. So we were extremely fragile trying to arrange his funeral. When we approached Isabella she immediately put us at ease she explained all options and gave us time to decide which way to go.
Attention to detail was excellent and being available 24/7 she guided us through it all

5 Philip Davis 13th May 2024

My Mum passed away on April 14th 2024 and from the moment Isobel took her into her care, both my Mum and our family were treated with such compassion and professionalism that we were all instantly reassured that the final journey of her life would be as special as she was. Isobel was so supportive through every step of this journey as we had no experience of preparing for a funeral and she was so informative providing us with so many options we had no idea were available. The most important was the availability of The Olde Chapel in Etruria were we held the funeral instead of the usual cremation facilities. The fact that Isobel is a keen supporter of local independent businesses such as celebrants, florists, caterers and places to have the funeral service was key to us having all our requirements met and providing our Mum with a true celebration of her life. The mix of traditional and modern aspects to her funeral made it a wonderful day of celebration. Those who attended the service of celebration were so impressed by the attention to details that Isobel and her team showed from the beginning of the service to the final farewell. No words can express how much we appreciated all that Isobel did for us. Isobel is one of the most wonderful people we have met and we will be forever grateful for everything she did to ensure our Mum's final journey was so memorable which has allowed us all to grieve as a family whilst celebrating her life. The support Isobel offered was fabulous, we never felt any question was to small and any worries we had Isobel sorted or reassured us that it would be fine. We would recommend Isobel Whittaker to anyone knowing that she would go above and beyond to ensure that everyone in her care if treated with such compassion. Thank you again Isobel you are an incredible person and provide excellent funeral services.

5 Karen Philcox 20th Apr 2024

What a fantastic service from Izzy. At such a sad time, she guided and supported us in every way. Always highly professional, courteous, and gentle at all times. She was simply fantastic, and I couldn't have managed without her. Willing to go that extra mile, Izzy allowed our grandson, Jack who is only 11, to play an active role in his great grannies funeral. I will always be very grateful for that. Izzy was so kind before, during and after our experience. Always a willing listener offering sound timely advice, and so very easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her services.

5 Paul Wheeler 2nd Apr 2024

The service Isobel and her team provided was faultless and helped at a difficult time. Always available to answer any questions and arranged everthing as requested. The day of the funeral went smoothly with a perfect service.

5 James Shaw 24th Mar 2024

I cannot praise Isobel and her team enough. From our first meeting to the day of the actual funeral her calming manner and professional service, not to mention her sense of humour made a difficult time not only bearable but genuinely uplifting - I knew my mum was in safe hands and we could plan the send-off that she deserved. Thank you Izzy!

5 David Wells 16th Mar 2024

5 Sam Wood 12th Feb 2024

Isobel is so caring and guided us through the process of everything that needed to happen following the unexpected death of my husband. She has such a gentle approach to such a difficult job and is there for you any time of the day, literally if you have any questions or you need support. I, and my family, cannot recommend Isobel highly enough for her compassion and support during such a difficult time, she, and her staff really did make a massive impact on us all.

5 Derek Reeves 29th Jan 2024

Isobel was very supportive and professional throughout the whole process from the planning meeting before Dad passed away through to dealing with his eventual passing a few weeks later. Isobel took ownership of the whole process during this difficult time,from arranging Alison Long the celebrant to ordering the black horses and horse drawn hearse to liaising with the Seven Stars, Brocton for the wake. 
 She offered her phone number for any calls of concern that were bothering us at any time of the day or night.
  The service itself was lovely, the orders of service looking professional and little touches such as remembrance candles and packets of tissues for the immediate family showed how much thought had gone into the process.
 Isobel was a rock during this very emotional time and we would thoroughly recommend her services. Thank you Isobel.

5 Joe Cooper 29th Jan 2024

5 Sharon Boult 5th Jan 2024

We as a family can not thank Izzy enough for how she has supported us through such a difficult time. She remained professional throughout but was also friendly and was there for us no matter what time of the day.
