  • 5 Amanda Davis Cross 3rd May 2025

    My family have been using Sherlock & Sons for decades, and as always they gave a first class service. Everything was as wanted, nothing was too much trouble, and everyone involved was absolutely wonderful, particularly Mollie, who even phoned on the Sunday to make sure I had no last minute questions or concerns. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

    Kate was very kind and compassionate. All the arrangements including viewing my brother in the Chapel of Rest, the arrangements for the Crematorium and Thanksgiving went very well, and we were pleased with all the information given for choosing various services.

  • 5 Karen Codling 7th Mar 2025

    I will never be able to thank Mollie, Adam and all the staff who took such great care of my Mum enough for their compassion and professionalism. Ultimately they listened. In doing that they carried out the most remarkable final journey for Mum. I will never forget what they have done and would highly recommend Sherlock Funeral Service. Nothing felt too much trouble. Nothing was rushed and I could feel how important it was to them to get it right. Thank you just doesn’t cover it. The peace of mind you provided will stay with me and for that I am forever grateful. 🌟
