We would highly recommend Village Undertakers. From the time we were told mum was in end of life care & who would we want to appoint when the time came, without a second thought Robert came to mind, I’ve known him for a while and without doubt we wanted Village Undertakers to take care of mum when the time came. We contacted Village Undertakers and Desmond came out to the care home mum was in on the Wednesday as Robert was unavailable as on holiday. Desmond was kind, compassionate & very professional. On his return Robert contacted me on the Saturday morning asking how mum was and how we were, which I found really comforting to know he cared. Mum sadly passed the early hours of the next day, Robert went to collect mum and the care home commented on how compassionate & professional they were. We met with Robert to discuss the funeral, he was extremely kind, empathetic, professional & caring. We explained what mum wanted and he made all the arrangements, organising everything very promptly and helped take the stress out of a very difficult situation, also taking time to chat and making us feel at ease. When Robert asked us about mum and her life, the details he took away and turned it into her eulogy was just like he’d known her, it was lovely, sensitive and humorous just as mum would have wanted....Thank you Robert. I would highly recommend Robert and we were so pleased we chose to use Village undertakers . Thank you x

I cannot recommend The Village Undertaker highly enough. From the first call on the passing of my Mum, right through to the beautiful funeral service and beyond, everything was taken care of by Robert. Right down to the mingling of my Mum's ashes with my Dad's as was her wish. He kept us updated at all stages, making recommendations along the way, the whole experience was stress free.

Robert really cares about people, from the first time you speak with him you'll know that your loved one is in good hands. He also has the amazing ability to listen to snippets of information and stories and turn that into a beautifully personal eulogy. I can highly recommend Village Undertakers and hope you chose to use them.
