During this upsetting and harrowing time I had received an excellent service from Rob and therefore I was able to give my husband a beautiful "send off". Thank you for the understanding and compassion given to me and my family.

This was the second time our family has used Robert's services in the last few years and once again, he was the epitome of calm, professional and empathetic. In what is understandably a difficult time, he makes things as streamlined and straightforward as possible. Everything is covered and explained clearly and nothing seems like too much trouble. Thank you so much, once again.

Robert and his team at village undertaker's have recently helped my dad on his onward journey,I cannot praise them enough to be honest,I called him upset and in panic and he was instantly calming and sympathetic towards our loss and reassured me everything will be fine,he called to our house sat and drank tea whilst going through the details.After we had spoken I felt a great sense of relief.The arrangement's were dealt with speedily, nothing was too much to ask for,he executed everything meticulously,the Day of the funeral was outstanding, they turned up with precision extremely smartly dressed in a pristine looking hearse with the flower arrangement that was so beautiful i burst into tears, everything was so perfect, people commented afterwards saying it was probably the most beautiful well arranged funeral they've ever attended.This gave me a huge sense of pride , however it's Robert and his team that deserve the credit 👍 In a nutshell I recommend them as highly as is possible!! If people would like a genuine,sincere and personal,most professional service,do not hesitate to call him.5.stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Robert Waddington at Village Undertakers was recommended to us by a friend and we are so pleased that we chose him and his team to look after Stuart.

From our first contact with Robert, he showed the utmost care, professionalism and empathy to both our beloved Stuart and us. He calmly guided us through everything and made a very sad time become a beautiful memory both before and after the Funeral.

Robert delivered a perfect Eulogy for Stuart - it was as though they had known each other for years although they had never met. Stuart would have been so proud.

Our grateful thanks to Robert - we highly recommend him to anyone who is sadly faced with bereavement and wants the best care possible for their loved one.

Village Undertakers
(Robert Waddington)

A very diligent, professional and approachable person giving good advice and steering us in the right direction at a most difficult time. Village Undertakers provided a dignified, first class service covering all aspects of funeral planning.
Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend their service without hesitation.

Professional and compassionate service from the moment we picked up the phone. Robert was kind and flexible with us as we navigated our grief and tried our best to give my mum the ceremony that was befitting. So many guests commented on the ceremony, how the love for my mum was palpable in the room. Thank you Robert, for making such a difficult process so seamless. 

5 Mark Thompson 9th Feb 2026

Robert was very professional and empathetic in his approach. Every concern was promptly addressed, and things ran smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely recommend him to others.

5 Denise Brown 12th Jan 2026

We received a kind, respectful and patient service from Robert after losing our Dad in December 2025. Thank you for all the support you offered our family.

5 Amy Smith 12th Sep 2025

We cannot thank Robert enough for the kindness and care he showed while looking after my grandad’s funeral. From the very beginning he took the time to meet with us a couple of times, really listening and getting to know who my grandad was as a person, which made the service so personal and special. On the day, Robert was so attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly, which gave us great comfort. His compassion and professionalism made a very difficult time so much easier, and we are so grateful.

5 Michelle Carroll 7th Sep 2025

Highly recommended! This is the second time that Robert has dealt with funeral arrangements for my family. Once again, a fantastic professional service from start to finish (Robert is also a brilliant celebrant).Thank you 😊

5 Edward Davis 3rd Jul 2025

From the initial phone call to Village Undertaker right through to the funeral service and follow up after The service that we have received as a grieving family has been professional and personal. Each step of the procedure was explained very well and to know this company was walking each step with us was very reassuring. I would whole heartedly without reservation recommend Village Undertaker 

5 Tom McDonald 19th May 2025

My sister and I simply could not fault Robert or the way he handled our Mum's funeral. He offers a uniquely personal approach - he's kind but clear, he's can-do and he really listens. From the choice of coffin to the choice of crematorium, Robert advised but never imposed his own views. He made everything run seamlessly; and along with his warm & wonderful wife, was a calming presence at the Chapel of Rest and after the event when we collected the ashes from his home. I could not recommend Robert enough - his attitude from the off was that he was there to make a very difficult time as easy as possible - and he pulled it off. A wonderful man, who helped us give our Mum the send off she deserved. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend.

5 Susan Hardy 11th May 2025

You made the whole process from start to finish seem effortless and you were so kind towards us all, gently guiding us to the next step of the journey. If you could call a funeral perfect, then that is what it felt like.
Thank you again so much

5 Stewart Hardwick 10th May 2025

Made everything very simple, and was really caring throughout. Can't fault the service.

5 Lesley Grist 30th Apr 2025

Robert took great care to find out about Dad and met with us on a couple of occasions to organise what needed to be done.

Everything went like clockwork on the day and it was really well organised. Robert spoke at the funeral and delivered a wonderful description a Husband and Father and we as a family appreciate all the hard work he put in on our behalf.

The wake was also well organised by Robert and the venue was great and we were able to celebrate Dad in the way he would have wanted.

5 Rebecca Smith 22nd Feb 2025

Robert was absolutely perfect for my husbands funeral, from organising everything, he made sure everything ran smoothly, nothing was too much trouble, he provided a lovely package, he made it sound like he’d known my husband for years and he’d never even met him, very genuine and sincere, I would definitely recommend using village undertakers again and again. Thank you Robert, you did my husband really proud xx

5 Brian McGinty 18th Jan 2025

I phoned Robert tea time Friday and we met him the following morning.

He was attentive, sympathetic and highly efficient.

All went to plan.

Would not hesitate to highly recommend him.

5 John Gibson 7th Jan 2025

We used Village Undertakers to look after my father in law’s funeral in January 2024 simply because it was a local firm. Robert was extremely kind, caring and professional. He understood the emotional challenges the family was going through and handled matters in a very empathetic manner. When my mother in law sadly passed away in November of the same year we had no hesitation in contacting Robert again to deal with the funeral arrangements which he did
with exactly the same care, attention to detail and professionalism. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Robert and the services of Village Undertakers.

5 Joanne Morrison 29th Dec 2024

Could not fault a thing. Robert went above and beyond meeting our wishes. I would whole heartedly recommend this funeral service.

5 Louise Reynolds 13th Oct 2024
