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 Andrews Mum and Dad Ann and John Draper

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.

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.
