From my first phone call to Southgate and Roberts on the day my husband died Darren has done his utmost to help me and my family, he and the whole team looked after my husband with care and respect, my husband hated dreary sad funerals so the team worked hard to make it a funeral he would approve of, a celebration of his life, Julian spent a lot of time with us to find out what type of person Peter was and the life he had lived and then wrote a lovely eulogy which was spot on, they helped us all get through the funeral which was done very professionally and with great respect, I cannot thank them enough, I would give them 10 stars if I could, I highly recommend Southgate and Roberts

I initially spoke to Liam by phone and he explained to me the process for dealing with the death of a loved one. He reassured me that Southgate and Roberts were available 24/7 for support and help. Liam was extremely helpful in the follow up meeting, going through the services they offered and nothing the family asked for was too much trouble. Darren then took over looking after the arrangements and was very attentive and reassuring throughout. They took my mother into their care from her date of passing on the 8th May to her funeral on the 30th May and looked after her all the way through with dignity and respect. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

Without the compassionate guidance, care and efficient service of Southgate and Roberts we would have struggled during this difficult and stressful time. Cannot praise them highly enough. Darren and Julian were available day and night. We will always be so grateful for all your help and for making our service really special

We were very pleased with the service received from Southgate & Roberts. They are professional and caring, and treated my father with great respect. They made themselves available to answer all my questions and provided help and advice and, on the day of the funeral were discreet, caring and respectful. I appreciate all the time and care taken throughout the planning process as well as on the day, and also having such a calm and pleasant environment for my final visit with my father. Everyone was helpful and pleasant but Liam deserves particular mention for all his time, patience and diligence. It all made a difficult time go smoothly and I would happily recommend Southgate & Roberts to anyone.

I would like to thank Southgate and Roberts for the excellent service they provided us during such a terrible time when we lost our daughter. The way they provide service is unique and out of this world. The professionalism, empathy,care and advice they have given us has enlightened our burden a thousand times. The moment we entrusted the care of our daughter to them was that moment of relief..A feeling that came to me was, "this burden is not mine alone and I have someone who really cares" .We can not thank the whole team enough but God will reward them . Liam, you got a great calling to make other people feel better in their times of trouble. Julian, Matt, Fiona and everyone behind the scenes. Thank you so much. The gentleman who came to collect Esther Hadassa's flowers too , all yoi guys very gentle. The six other gentleman "pole bearers "at the graveside you are awesome. I would highly recommend Southgate and Roberts to anyone anytime.

Since the day I contacted Southgate & Robert’s nothing was too much trouble. I live in Malaysia , and when I knew that my mother was very sick I came back to Ipswich . She passed after I was back for 36 hours at home . I had no idea what to do , and my husband contacted S&R, they were there from the start until her cremation. Always professional, but with deep compassion . You could call them about anything and they would be there . Every wish for mums cremation was executed just the way I wanted .
I want to thank each and every member of staff , with a special mention to Liam , and our Celebrent Julian . You made this sad and difficult time so dignified and with such care . Thank you for all your guidance and support .

Excellent service from the very first phone call.
Darren displayed utter professionalism, compassion and showed the utmost care not only to ourselves but my father who had passed away.
In such a time of distress navigating an unfamiliar process I wouldn't have wanted anyone else supporting me.
I knew and trusted that my father was in safe hands.
Darren and all the staff couldn't do enough, they really do go above and beyond! -
