Richard Ward Funeral Services Ltd gave an excellent service in dealing with my Mum's funeral, nothing was too much trouble and the team where there to help and advise whatever time of day which was greatly appreciated at a difficult time.

Every team member was exemplary.

The care and sympathy we received as a family, and the care and compassion shown towards Dad on a daily basis was excellent and greatly appreciated.

5 Kate Ward 22nd Feb 2025

The kind & caring staff took care of my mother & guided me through, 1 of the most difficult times in my life. They are professional, in all aspects of their work & have a great depth of knowledge, that was invaluable during my time of need. This made making difficult decisions, so much easier. If I changed my mind on something , it was no trouble, if we added something, that was fine. 
I can’t thank them enough for their care & compassion. 
Everything on the day, was just as it should have been. 
I never realised organising a funeral could be so stressful, but they really took care of us. Helping us as a family to prepare & grieve. 
I would & have definitely recommend them.

5 Karen Wells 7th Jul 2024

Wonderful, caring, supportive service from the very first phone call, until after the funeral. Everything arranged beautifully and we felt so supported and heard as a family. Would certainly recommend Richard Ward Funeral Services and special thanks to Michelle at the Wigston office.

Bernard's exit song 'Simply the Best' totally sums up your handling of his Funeral too. Excellent communication, planning, efficiency and empathy at such a sad time was certainly 5 Star. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for any of you to sort out and we so appreciate your fantastic time and efforts applied to enable such a smooth and successful service for Bernard who was so very deserving of such an occasion. Such special and heartfelt thanks go to Fred, Chelsea and Naomi, also to Keith the celebrant who Fred so kindly   recommended. Equally, we are aware that many others work so very hard to make it all happen so such wonderful and sincere thanks to you all. We would wholeheartedly recommend your funeral service to others. Feel very proud to be so successful in a job demanding so much compassion and dedication to so many during such upsetting occasions.

Kindest Regards to you all,

Jan, Aly and Meg xxx

I could not fault any aspect of the preparation, work or service on the day. First class. Thank you all.

4 Jane Gadsby 15th Jan 2024

Everyone we dealt with at Richard Ward was very understanding, professional and compassionate.

Would have been useful if, at the start of the process we were advised upon the obituary page and just giving link. This was not done until prompted by me.

5 Helen Roberts 1st Jan 2024

This is the third time we have used your services, always very respectful and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you

5 Sophie Rathbone 22nd Dec 2023

Could not have asked for a better service. The passing of dad was very unexpected and planning a funeral was something my sister and I never expected to be doing at this point in our lives. But the team at Richard Ward made it as easy as possible during such a difficult time and the service was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much. 

5 Elaine Singleton-Day 10th Dec 2023

Kind and efficient staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication excellent. The funeral was perfect, capturing Mum’s life.

5 Amanda Honnor 9th Dec 2023

Very efficient and respectful of all my wishes. Also very kind and the service went very smoothly. I felt fully supported & wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

5 James Parker 8th Dec 2023

I have no hesitation in recommending their services after having experienced their compassionate and professional handling of the funeral service for my wife of 60 years. I was amazed how many people came up to me to say what a lovely service it had been , there were so many that they could not have been saying it just to be polite
A big thank you to all the staff and not just Richard himself because his example has obviously rubbed off onto everyone else
