Malcolm Field 2nd Nov 2022
Safe Hands Funeral Services was recommended to us. We are so pleased we listened to that advice as the recommendation was well founded. As soon as we met Penny we knew we had made the right choice. She was very caring and kind. Penny and her team were very thoughtful in their approach to constructing a wonderful and memorable ceremony for my mother. The flowers, coffin and service sheets were all beautifully prepared with great attention to detail. In a time of great sadness they created a relaxed and cheery environment. As a family it was just what we wanted - a celebration of my mother life without dwelling on the sadness of her passing. Our experience exceeded a expectations. Thank you Penny.

Penny has delivered a very professional and caring service. She has a friendly and compassionate nature and has supported my family in providing everything we asked for to give my husband a funeral he would have been proud of. Thank you Penny and everyone at Safe Hands.

Penny provided such a personal professional service and really took time to get to know my brother and myself and helped us create the funeral that our mother would have liked, nothing was too much effort. I would not hesitate to recommend Penny and Safe Hands. Thank you again
