    Do not hesitate to have Isobel help you plan your loved ones funeral. Isobel was so kind, supportive and helpful with every aspect of my mum’s funeral. Everything was so beautifully done, the order of service, the flowers and sorting out videos and photographs for the service. Myself and my family can’t thank her enough for what she did, Isobel made a heartbreaking situation easier for us. Thank you Isobel, Linda, Ian Steph, Colin and Alicia xxx

  • 5 Jo Tracey 14th Dec 2025

    Isobel  was recommended by a friend who had used her for a family members funeral and it’s not difficult to see why. From the minute Izzie came into my home she radiated warmth, care and empathy. Nothing was too much trouble and she certainly ease our burden during a very difficult time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. 

  • 5 Racheal Smith 11th Dec 2025

  • 5 Sarah Morris 30th Aug 2025

    When Dad passed away unexpectedly we were in complete shock and didn’t know where to start with his funeral arrangements. We really wanted to honour his amazing life and give all his family, friends and fellow soldiers the chance to say goodbye properly. From the beginning, Izzy was incredibly caring, thoughtful and respectful. She made us feel like Dad was being looked after every step of the way and that he was still very much a part of everything. Her kindness and attention to detail throughout gave us great comfort.
    This message from Izzy after the funeral sums up her wonderful support:
    ‘I’m still here if any of you need anything, I don’t just disappear now. Always here for you all.’
    I would definitely recommend Izzy to anyone facing the hardest of times when a loved one passes away, we will always be grateful for the help she gave us to give Dad the farewell he deserved.

Nothing felt rushed, and she took the time to listen to our wishes.

  • 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!

  • 5 Helen Watson 28th Mar 2025

    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 

  • 5 Neil Cadman 20th Jan 2025

    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 😇
