  • 5 Chris Baker 11th Aug 2024

    I wanted to use a local independent company for my mother's funeral and chose Sherlock Funeral Services after reading some excellent reviews. They provided a highly professional service, helping me through the process at a difficult time, when there's lots to organise. The staff were great and the funeral took place exactly to plan. Thanks very much to Angela, Maria, John and Matt for all your help.

    I would certainly recommend Sherlock Funeral Services to other families.

    From the moment Angela opened the door to us, and to the day of the funeral we can not express how wonderful you all were to us in our grief.
    You made it so smooth and took a lot of the stress away from us.

    Thank you all for your help. All your staff were amazing

    They gave an excellent service, nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was first class! 

  • 5 Sue Hattan 22nd Jul 2024

    My Dad and I met with Angela after the death of his wife/my mum and she was professional and supportive from start to finish.

    She put us in contact with the Celebrant, Alison who we chose to meet, to discuss the order of service etc, in a relaxed cafe environment.

    Thank you to everyone who was involved in giving my Mum the send off she deserved.

  • 5 Andrew Masters 15th Jul 2024

    The whole experience could not have been smoother. Maria in the office had everything sorted and suggested the perfect Celebrant in Lum'Rhin. The Gentlemen were impeccable and unfazed by the massive road closures from the diesel spill. A massive thank you to all involved.

    Excellent and personal attention to detail made the whole experience go smoothly throughout the organising to the day of the funeral

  • 5 Lisa Bray 8th Jun 2024

    I cannot thank the team at Sherlocks enough.
    The service that they have provided to me over the last few weeks has been amazing with such  great care, respect,  and heart felt kindness. Their attention to detail has been second to none. 
    Nothing has been too much trouble and I would highly recommend them.  
    They certainly made a very difficult and sad time  for me a lot easier in taking care of everything so beautifully and professionally.
