5 Gail Awcock 17th Jun 2022
I cannot recomend safehands Highly Enough.
Penny was great from first contact to finish,nothing being to much trouble.
She managed our estranged family situation with great sensitivity taking great care to ensure all our familys wishes were met.
The premises has a warm comforting ambiance ,we felt at ease talkig to penny (no Hard sell)
Penny was great throughout making thoughtful and helpful sugestions,where needed.
The florest she used was amazing our flowers were spot on both times-
(saddly our second funeral in two years.)
We used The celebrant recomended by Penny ( Leo Star)He put together a fantastic Eulogy full of Warmth and love.
Comunication was also great , Penny responded in good time to any concerns.
We would definatly give 5 *plus to Safehands and recommend them to anyone in need of there sevices.

5 Richard Bland 29th Mar 2022
From the initial planning meeting to the end of the Funeral Service at Chichester crematorium for my late wife, Safe Hands delivered an absolutely faultless, caring, programme. I made many extra demands; all were met without demur.
Their attention to detail was outstanding, down to smart pall bearers in polished shoes - not always the case elsewhere. At no time was there any pressure to spend more.
At a sad, stressed time, Safe Hands were exactly what their title suggests. I can unreservedly recommend them. They have my deep thanks.Penny Strachan replied
Dear Dick, Thank you, what an honour it has been looking after you and your family. I am so glad we were able to meet your requests and that you were pleased with all aspects of our service and care. It's all in the detail, as you say. With very best wishes Penny -

5 Chris Silvester 3rd Jun 2022
Safe Hands have supported us in our Dads funeral.
Penny has guided us efficiently through every step of the way in what has been a vulnerable time for the family.
We have been listened to and thought about throughout the journey of working with Safe Hands.
The genuine interest shown in Dads life and Penny's sensitive determination in getting everything right has meant Dads funeral felt personal to him. It reflected his life, his sense of humour and the service was one that was appreciated by all who attended.
We are pleased that we turned to Safe Hands and have experienced a funeral that will allow Dads memory to settle gently into our hearts.Penny Strachan replied

Penny and Adam and their staff were nothing less than compassionate, empathetic, professional and kind. Their services were discreet and complete at a difficult time for us, and we know Mum would have approved. We liked working directly with a small, local, personal business. Thank you.
