As a family we appreciated the care, respect and dignity shown to us by Sherlock and Sons, both in the preparation for the funeral and on the day itself. We’d like to express our heartfelt thanks and would recommend their services to others.

Paul Luff 24th Feb 2023

We cannot fault the courtesy, guidance and attention given from the very start. It made such an upsetting process that much easier to bear. Thank you to all at Sherlocks

Philip Farrelly 20th Feb 2023

Very helpful in all our dealings with them and very professional in all that they did.

  • 4 nicola hamer 7th Feb 2023

    Overall the service was good, however some communication of possible video providers was overlooked.
    Also we ended up having to transport the coffin flowers from the crematorium to the church ourselves at the last minute.
    We did miss not having Clive.

    From the very beginning of the process, Sherlock’s were both friendly and professional and took care of everything beautifully. The whole funeral was dealt with so easily and the strain was taken away from me, leaving me to organise the wake etc without having to worry about the funeral side of things. Clive and Maria were on hand to deal with any concerns I had and dealt with things promptly and efficiently. I’m extremely happy with the service I received and would gladly recommend them.

  • 5 Rael gibson 9th Sep 2022

    At a time when you need complete professionalism, compassion and support, Sherlocks delivered. From the initial phone call to the formal meeting to decide arrangements it was all done with utmost respect and patience. 
    A special mention to Clive who was the lead director on the day. He was always there but never in the way, just perfect and such a gentle man. He was wonderful. 

  • 5 Anne Porritt 29th Aug 2022

    We had two services, a private family cremation and a Church service of remembrance in the afternoon. Sherlocks organized everything perfectly for me, cars, hymn sheets, organist and it was a sad but happy day "enjoyed" by all under the sad circumstances.
    Thank you, a job well done!
