Fantastic service, fantastic care sympathetic helpful I don’t know where I would be without them. They were the same for my mum as they were for my dad brilliant.

Safe Hands Funeral Services was suggested by a friend and I am so pleased we chose them. From start to finish they made a very difficult time a lot easier. They have a beautiful and calming space to have their meetings where time is spent discussing options of funeral location, flowers and everything. The process was new to me, but everything was made so perfectly clear. Communication was always easy and I really would recommend them. Its a difficult time, but Safe Hands made it easier.

From the moment we contacted Safe Hands Funeral Directors and spoke to Penny, we felt reassured and looked after.

Penny really listened carefully to what we wanted, offered helpful guidance without ever pressuring us, and handled every detail and looked after our dear mum with complete dignity & care. The team went above and beyond to make sure the service reflected our loved one perfectly, everything was exactly how we had envisaged - It was complete perfection. We couldn’t have asked for a more kinder, personable or professional support.

With the added support of Southlands Barn, our beautiful Mum and our family have a service we can cherish and be proud of forever in celebration of her life and the memories we get to keep.

I cannot recommend Penny and the Team involved at Safe Hands enough. Thank you for turning our ideas and requests into something truly amazing and guiding us through a very difficult time.

From my first contact Safe Hands were amazing. The setting chosen Cisbury Barns worked really well although very cold .
Penny and Adam are kind,sensitive, and just lovely. Their manner is dignified, they make sure all personal wishes are carried
out . I can honestly say I couldn't find any fault with their service at all . For an individual service please feel confident in using Safe Hands amazing thank you so much both of you .

Penny was just perfect at a very hard time. She is very warm, compassionate and caring. The celebrant she arranged, Claire, was also perfect for us. The service and celebration of dad’s life would have been exactly what dad wanted. I would thoroughly recommend Penny to everyone. X

Penny was extremely helpful, offering lots of advice and ideas. She helped us create a Celebration that was very special and appreciated by all who attended.
A comforting memory, thank you Penny. 

5 Liz Green 1st Dec 2025

We felt very safe leaving everything in Penny’s hands. The celebrant she introduced us to was excellent, the flowers were beautiful, the chapel was comfortable and everyone was put at ease. From the very first phone call to the last piece of music Penny and her team were there for us. I would highly recommend Safe Hands, the lovely little chapel and all the team.

5 Rececca Du-Cann 21st Nov 2025

This is the second time that Penny has meticulously planned a funeral for me. She is so kind and honest, gives superb advice and matches the celebrant and venue perfectly to your needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation.

Penny and her staff did an excellent job organising my mother's funeral. Penny is extremely attentive, understanding and respectful. Our family were hugely appreciative of all her efforts. All our guests commented on how well the funeral had been arranged. We highly recommend her services. 

5 Keith Vigar 24th Oct 2025

Being the first funeral that we have had to organise added to the fact that we had lost our precious young son, Penny and the team at Safe Hands could not have provided any better service for us. We are and forever will be grateful for their kindness and attention all the way through the process. They are amazing!

5 Bridie Anderson 23rd Sep 2025

‘Thank you’ does not seem enough to express just how deeply grateful I am for how Safe hands/Penny have supported me in saying goodbye to my husband Steve. The service went so beautifully, everything they do and how they do it just transforms the worst event of life into such a peaceful, meaningful and special event – that is such a gift.

Joe the celebrant was perfect too, how right they were to choose him!

5 Ian Petrie 17th Sep 2025

Very caring and professional attention given by Penny and Helen whenever there was a question or alteration that needed to be addressed. Penny was always there in the background to make sure that everything went smoothly but also to ensure that all the family and friends on this most difficult of days, were able to give a loved one a special ‘send off’.

5 Francis Carr 9th Sep 2025

Penny and the team at Safe Hands offer a truly exceptional service. Professional attention to detail, coupled with a caring approach, make the planning of a sad occasion more bearable. The choice of celebrant was inspired, and Tony Petras could not have been more helpful or eloquent. I am delighted that I selected Penny and her colleagues for my wife's final send-off; they are, indeed, Safe Hands.

5 Simon Thornley 8th Sep 2025

Penny conducted my sister’s beloved sister’s funeral with great sensitivity. It went off very well and her suggestions all improved it. I am very grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of them.

5 Alex Bloom 28th Jul 2025

Safe Hands delivered all you could ask for for a funeral service, and more. Penny went above and beyond to make sure everything little detail was taken care of and helped organize a beautiful service for my wife. I highly recommend. 

5 Ann Salmon 15th Jun 2025

Both Penny and Helen were business like and efficient, but with the sympathy necessary in this very difficult job. Penny sorted out a wonderful uplifting funeral for my husband, and helped or guided me with very difficult decisions ~ and how many decisions! Planning a funeral is one of the most complex things I have had to do and she was with me all the way. The family liked the company too.

5 Helen Boniface 25th May 2025

Penny was amazing.
She gently encouraged us to make the right decisions and the small chapel on site was perfect for such a tiny funeral.
It also enabled us to hold the gathering at quite short notice and Penny and her team worked so hard to put everything together in a short space of time.
We are so grateful for all their efforts, it was a lovely farewell. Thank you.

5 Melanie Winters-Holmes 13th May 2025
