Isobel Whittaker Funeral Services

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.

Thank you so much Izzy.

What can I say about this wonderful lady. Isobel,s attention to detail and kindness is beyond compare . Having a conversation with her regarding my late husbands life she clearly understood how much farming had ment to him. Without any prompting she had a gorgeous cow engraved on his plaque for the coffin . All the Pall bearers wore fresian cow pins in keeping with what we were going to wear. She does everything from the heart . Nothing is too much trouble.

So kind and thoughtful at such a sad time, isobel went beyond the limit to make arrangements as easy as possible and on the day she was a great support

5 Rachel Wilson 17th Aug 2023

The care that we as a family received from Izzy over this really awful period was wonderful. My beautiful Mum's funeral was flawless. During her visit to us I made a passing comment regarding flowers that Mum had had in her wedding bouquet. On the day of the funeral, there they were in Mum's arrangement. This small gesture absolutely blew me away and proved that she listens and takes notice of even the tiniest details, which make a huge difference to those who are grieving.
I cannot recommend Isobel highly enough, her care, compassion and general loveliness goes above and beyond. This is not "just a job" for her.
Thank you again Izzy, I will be forever grateful.

Isobel was an absolute gem - what a find! From the first time we spoke by phone and her visit to my home I knew that I was in good hands. All the way through the procedure and up to the day of the funeral she was always available to give support and comfort. Her recommendation of Kate Moran as the celebrant was just brilliant and was a perfect fit for the type of service that my late wife would have wanted. All the guests who attended said what a beautiful event it was, especially the photographic tribute set to music. She also arranged a web cast, which enabled family members in Finland, and other guests who couldn't attend, to watch the service live. So if you want a personal, yet truly professional, service don't go anywhere else. The full house of 5 star reviews speaks for itself and I wish this young company every success in the future. Well done Izzy!

Isobel was just phenomenal, this was our Grandfather’s funeral, and when I say ‘our’ I mean that he was Isobel’s Grandfather too. Despite the obvious emotional attachment that she had, she still operated with the highest level of professionalism and the support that she provided to us as a family was immeasurable.

I have never seen the level of detail and care that Isobel provided before. She was simply amazing.

Thank you Isobel for supporting us all through this awful time.

5 John Hartley 9th Apr 2023

A fantastic service from this young woman. She took all the stress out of what was an extremely sad time following the death of my wife 2 weeks before our 55th wedding anniversary. She guided me through all the options and offered a 24/7 contact phone number. Any changes I wanted to make were done without fuss. Nothing was too much trouble. The funeral itself was beautifully presented and I felt I was in control the whole time, guided by Isobel. I would not hesitate to recommend this young company to anyone.

5 Pippa Yule 30th Mar 2023

I highly recommend Isobel. She listened to me and guided me through at such a difficult time. Isobel went the extra mile and with her help I was able to give my mother a very personal service which is what I’d wanted for mum. 

5 Alison-Jane Buckley 17th Feb 2023

At a time when our heads were all over the place Isobel was there giving support and guidance. She impressed us all not only with the empathy she showed but also how organised and efficient she and her team were. The care she took with mum and the respect she showed her gave us reassurance. What really makes Isobel's service stand out is the personal attention she gives to the family both before and after the funeral.

5 John Stokes 11th Feb 2023

5 Clare Neeson 13th Jan 2023

Isobel was amazing at the most horrendous time, nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond for our family. Our Dad meant the world to us and Isobel did everything she could to make everything that needed doing easier and uncomplicated. We will always be grateful.

5 Andrew Smith 5th Jan 2023

Absolutely fantastic could not of asked for any more from Izzy and Kate they took care of everything and all went like clockwork from start to finish could not thank them enough.

5 Clive Boult 21st Oct 2022

What can I say, Izzy and her team have been absolutely amazing. Izzy took the stress out of the whole process. She made the day of the funeral something truly special, mum would have loved it, all of the guests said how brilliant everything was. Izzy suggested things we wouldn't have thought about that added that really personal touch.
A truly personal service, they go way beyond all expectations.
Sincere thanks to you all.

5 Christina Johnson 18th Sep 2022

I cannot praise Isobel and her family highly enough! Izzy went above and beyond, replying to my emails day and night, regular calls and even checking we were OK. Don't go anywhere else if you have to arrange a funeral. I tried all the top names and Izzy was the most reasonable and as an independent local business she needs oit support. I'm so glad I chose her. Plus she's a really kind and caring person. Thank you Izzy and your husband and mum for everything. We really appreciated your help and expertise in making our dad's celebration of life everything he would have wanted, and more! Bless you xx

5 Catherine Howliston 1st May 2022

I can't thank Izzy enough for helping to make a very traumatic time easier. Everything was handled very professionally and at the same time in a very caring and thoughtful manner. She organised everything for me, even down to taking care of the wake afterwards so I didn't have to worry about it. I could not have had anyone better to send my husband on his final journey, I can highly recommend Whittaker Funeral services.
