Excellent service from the first contact with the team at Gillotts.
Anthony contacted me the morning after my husband passed away, he gave me a full information pack in order for me to take my time in deciding what myself and the family wanted for my husband. I never felt rushed in any way and Anthony helped guide me whenever I needed him.
The whole team were very professional, dedicated, caring and polite, nothing was too much trouble.
My husband had a lovely funeral, and Anthony and the team made the day special for us.
A big thank you to all of you.
I would highly recommend this funeral directors to anyone.

5 Jill Thorpe 26th Feb 2026

From my initial phone call to Gillotts, Anthony and his team have been brilliant. My brother and I had a lovely first meeting with Anthony, who helped and guided us through the process. We had a very old 'wish list' from our uncle, some of which was do-able, some not so! Anthony was so helpful and knowledgable in finding lots of old information for us that enabled us to get a lovely funeral in place. On the day of the funeral everything went so well, it was a wonderful way to say 'goodbye'. Thank you so much to everyone at Gillotts who helped us through this difficult time.

5 Helen Lofts 24th Feb 2026

We have used Gillotts for both of our parents funerals and cannot fault their service. From initial meeting through to the funeral itself, they are helpful and kind and treated our parents with such dignity and respect.
Thank you Joanne & team

5 Georgina Godfrey 7th Feb 2026

Our beloved Dad passed away at Christmas after a terrible illness which was incredibly traumatic for our family. Dad was treated with care, dignity and respect from the outset. Gillots were thorough, thoughtful, and compassionate and set our expectations along the way. They really helped to set our minds at ease. Claire was amazing, very patient and understanding and made some much appreciated suggestions and tweaks along the way and was always very respectful of our opinions and wishes. The celebrant chosen (Josh Wood) was also incredible with such attention to detail and again very patient and thoughtful. The funeral itself was respectful and dignified and I have the peace of mind that Dad was given the best possible send off and would have been proud as he hadn't expressed his wishes. At such an upsetting time we felt extremely supported. I can't recommend Gillots highly enough.

5 Robert Daley 6th Feb 2026

Anthony was professional and caring in arranging mums cremation. Anthony listened and gave us advice on different choices on areas of the funeral which was a great help in a sad time.
On the the day everything went smoothly and Anthony was there all the way with the family which was a great comfort.
Thank you Anthony & team at Heanor

Couldn't have wished for a better send off for my dad. The entire project was handled so well by the entire team. The service by Chris was amazing. Zowie and all the staff in the office where there for us every step of the way, helping us with anything we needed.
I personally cant thank them enough.

5 Ian Johnson 31st Jan 2026

Losing my mum was one of the hardest moments of my life, and the support we received from Gillotts made an enormous difference. From the very first conversation, they were calm, compassionate, and genuinely attentive. Nothing ever felt rushed or routine; every detail was handled with care, and they took the time to understand who my mum was and what mattered to our family.
The service itself was beautifully organised. Everything ran smoothly, quietly, and with dignity. They guided us through decisions we never expected to make, offering thoughtful suggestions without ever pushing. On the day, their presence was reassuring—professional, respectful, and completely focused on giving my mum the farewell she deserved.
I’m deeply grateful for the kindness and sensitivity they showed throughout the entire process; especially Helen. At a time when we felt overwhelmed, they provided clarity, comfort, and steady support. I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate team to help us honour my mum’s memory.
