  • 5 Sharyn Scott 3rd Apr 2018

    I cannot praise Andrew and his team more. He was so helpful and kind at this difficult time. They are professional from planning all the details to the actual day. Having Andrew organise everything has been a huge comfort and made a very difficult task so much easier. We feel so lucky to have found them by chance on google as we didn’t know where to start. Thank you Andrew and all the team we cannot recommend you enough. The Scotts

  • 5 Christine Green 2nd Apr 2018

    Excellent from start to finish, we’ve dealt with Andrew before and would definitely use again.  Made the whole experience so easy and you always knew they were there for you and the rest of the family.   Celebrant Bridget Garrett was excellent too. So many comments from people about what a beautiful service she gave.  At the end of the day, you couldn’t ask for more.  Thank you for making such a difficult experience a pleasure.

  • 5 Michael Pemberton 11th Mar 2018

    We would like to say a huge thank you to you and your team for the guidance and expertise you showed us from first entering your office to the completion of the funeral.
    Everything was explained fully in a compassionate way, and on the day you and your staff were exceptional in very cold conditions, your patience didn't go unnoticed.
    Once again a huge thanks.

    Debbie and Mike Pemberton.

    Andrew and his team were so supportive and professional in their approach. Everything was clearly explained and the day went well despite poor weather to start with. Nothing was too much and we all worked well to achieve as the family wanted.
    Thank you.

  • 5 Fiona Ferrie 4th Dec 2017

    Andrew and his staff were so caring and sympathetic at this most difficult time. A very professional service provided throughout. Available at all times for advice on any matter. Can't thank him enough for the way everything was dealt with in an appropriate and proper way. With many thanks from the family of Jane (Jean) Bryson

  • 5 Linde Gulliford 1st Dec 2017

    We could not have wished for a more efficient, yet gentle and compassionate team arranging mother's funeral. Everything was done for us and where necessary, were guided to people who could help. The day went incredibly smoothly and we were unobtrusively ushered through the proceedings at both the Crematorium and Church.

    I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew Bingham: one could not wish for a more dedicated and professional team to help one through what is a very sad and traumatic time. Thank you all for making the day easier than it might have been x
