Taylor's provided a sympathetic and efficient service, it was very reassuring to have Sam's and Liza's professional expertise at this difficult time. Their attention to detail ensured that everything went smoothly on the day. The family thank them for their kindness and support.

They were absolutely wonderful, so thought & caring even over the very very little thinks, I can't praise them enough. My guests who only met them for a few minutes, said how caring they were. I will always class them as our friends in the future.Nobody should ever hesitate in using them. A huge THANK YOU to them.

Faith Mitchell 2nd Mar 2019

Our family have recently received an excellent service from Taylor’s.  It had been our intention to use another service as we had used them previously however they were not able to accommodate the date and time we had planned.  So we sourced Taylor’s as a local funeral directors who were able to accommodate us, they were very professional and unobtrusive on the day and supported both the service and burial.  I would not hesitate to recommend them to others or use them again.

    Thank you so much to Lisa, Sam and Phil for the kindness, sensitivity and professionalism which you showed us at this saddest of times. Every last detail was dealt with excellently and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

  • 5 Liz Pilgrim 13th Jan 2019

    Thank you so much Sam and Liza. Your genuine care and support in the organisation of my Mum's funeral was much appreciated. You helped and guided me get through a difficult time and made me feel my mum’s funeral really meant something to you and that we weren’t just another job.
    I’d highly recommend you to anyone. 

  • 5 Jane Berry 5th Jan 2019

    Really lovely people who understood our needs. Everyone dealt with us sensitively and patiently. The funeral cortège was very professional with all showing respect and dignity for my father. They couldn’t have done anything more to support our family. Thank you. Would not hesitate to recommend. 

  • 5 Chris Berwick 11th Nov 2018

    Sam and his team were excellent in their support and guidance at this difficult time.

  • 5 Sara Rowell 11th Nov 2018

    The service we received from the caring, friendly team at Taylor’s was first class, from the moment we first walked in the door the afternoon our mother died. Nothing was too much trouble and the caring, respectful attention to detail and communication with us was excellent.  The funeral was held in Surrey but this was not a problem for Taylor’s, who ensured everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned. I can highly recommend Taylor’s. 

  • 5 Julie Langley 5th Nov 2018

    Very professional and sympathetic to our needs from the day we met all the way through to the end and recommended an excellent Celebrant. Under the circumstances it was a beautiful day all round, so thank you all at Taylor Funeral Directors. Your professional service and empathy shone through.

  • 5 Judy McMeekin 28th Oct 2018

    The whole team at Taylor’s were professional and sympathetic in every way possible. 

  • 5 Ann Dolphin 26th Oct 2018

    Approached several local directors with exact requirements for quotes. Taylors were the cheapest and as we had no experience with any of the others we chose them.

    They were excellent from the start to the finish, we could not fault them anywhere. Very professional with a very good personable approach. Having arranged five previous funerals in other parts of the country they were there at the top.

    So not only did we end up with superb service but Marie Curie Hospice received a large four figure donation that represented the difference between the dearest and Taylor's quotes. Superb outcome.

  • 5 Dean Starling 21st Oct 2018

    Really happy with service provided! Very professional and caring at a difficult time! Sam and Liza took care of everything and answered all our questions fully.

    Very good quality of service and support. Would recommend Taylor’s to anyone.

  • 5 Jennifer Bragg 20th Oct 2018

    On behalf of me and my family we thank you and faultless staff for making what's a most difficult time so much easier to bear. Sam you are a wonderful compassionate professional funeral director. I'm sure my father was watching over us all whilst proudly smiling.

  • 5 David Thorpe 10th Sep 2018

    Sam, Liza and Helen where very , very caring and attended to every detail with compassion and professionalism. Taylor’s made a sad occasion into good final journey for our father and the day will be positively remembered by all our family. We would have no hesitation in recommending Taylor’s. 

  • 5 John Hase 23rd Aug 2018

    Our experience of Taylors was wholly positive, from our first visit all the way through the preparations and my Mother’s funeral. Sam, Helen and Liza make a terrific team, striking the right balance between formality and friendliness. Nothing was too much trouble to them to try and make everything perfect for us. I am so glad that we decided to take a chance on this relatively small and unknown local firm. It is easy to recomend them - very highly indeed!

  • 5 Sandy Walmsley 1st Jul 2018

    I can’t speak highly enough of Sam and Liza. Their professionalism, empathy and caring attitude is second to none
    I would highly recommend them to anyone. In my mind they epitomise what a true family funeral directors should be
    I can’t thank them enough for making a sad and difficult time much easier for me and my family

  • 5 Angus McPherson 17th Jun 2018

    Taylor’s provided a bespoke service to our family at the most difficult time. Kind, caring and listening to our needs, they offered compassion and advice, making this difficult process more bearable. Nothing proved too much trouble, working with us on flowers, orders of service and transport. Their professionalism made us feel dad was in good hands. Thank you Taylor’s for looking after dad and us x

  • 5 Rachael Linstead 17th Jun 2018

    Arranging a funeral is inevitably a sad time, but we were very impressed by the care and attention to detail given to us by Taylor's. The care and respect shown as well as help along the way was second to none. I would recommend them to others seeking the individuality of an independent firm.

  • 5 Liza Dicicco 8th Jun 2018

    From start to finish I was treated in a very professional way. Taylor’s are kind, caring, very knowledgable and the whole process was made very simple for us. They were also extremely reasonably priced.  I would heartily recommend them. Thanks to everyone there !
