“A funeral of a loved one is a sad occasion, made worse by the current COVID regulations. At such a time you need a highly professional organisation to arrange all aspects of the day. Hollowells can be relied upon to carry out their work calmly, efficiently and in a sympathetic manner. My last wishes for my wife were carried out perfectly”.

I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank all at Hollowells for the great funeral service you helped to put on for my Dad Michael Collyer recently. Whilst obviously a sad time I take great comfort knowing that we gave him a great day to celebrate his life.

I would like to say a special mention to Chloe who looked after our arrangements. Despite numerous emails from me asking the most basic questions or just wanting to ensure everything was in hand my dialogue was met with nothing but compassion, empathy and very much a can do approach that made you feel nothing was too much to ask. In a time of turmoil the professionalism and personality in which Chloe displayed throughout was very comforting and meant our focus could be put in just ourselves and dealing with the emotions we had.

It really did make a huge difference to us

I wanted to say how amazing Hollowells were yesterday for mum’s funeral simply outstanding, professional and kind, Janine was incredible and spurred me on with doing my reading for mum. The whole team were amazing and mum and us were in great hands.  16 years ago you actually looked after us when my dad passed away, we then were blown away with your service and personal detail, so much that joined the support groups. So, when we knew my beautiful mum was poorly it was always Hollowells  and mum’s wishes too. I was also blown away which I mentioned to Tracey was when the private ambulance arrived for mum, the two guys were so respectful and said to my 19 year old son don’t worry we will take great care of her now. That meant the world to me. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It was phenomenal.

When we were aware that Mum was end of life, I contacted yourselves and was supported through the process of what needed to take place when Mum did pass. That took a little while, but when the time came, Hollowells took Mum into their care.

Amy was appointed as our Funeral Director and was exceptional. I was in France at the point Mum passed and was dealing with all arrangements remotely. Amy kept me on track with what was needed and in agreeing the smaller details. I didn’t meet Amy in person until the day of Mum’s funeral, 24th July. I spoke to several members of the team over the time we were planning, everyone was kind, friendly and helpful.

My brother and I were supported on the day by the whole team. My brother took a late decision that he, along with his son and son in law wished to be pall bearers, which the team enabled.

The little touches, like accommodating butterflies on the order of service, and returning pictures, flowers and big butterfly back to St Crispin’s Retirement Village for the wake were all accommodated seamlessly.  Jayne our celebrant was also excellent.

 Dad wanted to see Mum in the chapel of rest and Amy and the team did a fantastic job of preparing Mum. Dad was so happy to see Mum looking more like her old self and at rest. This has been a huge source of comfort for him.

 I have sent personal thank you cards to Amy and her team, and to Jayne, but I wanted to share our positive experience with you. Things could not have been any better, we honoured all Mum’s wishes in her final journey and Dad was so impressed with how everything went.

Thank you so very much to everyone who had a part to play in the funeral of Pauline Swan which took place yesterday.

We would like to thanks everyone at Hollowells for the truly excellent and professional service you gave us at a very distressing time. You are all so very caring and helpful in your own unique special way – something which not all Companies aspire to. We definitely made the right choice and couldn’t have asked for more. Many thanks once again.

Dave and I would like to thank the team at Hollowell’s for providing a sensitive and supportive service in response to the death of our beloved auntie, Mary. From start to finish, you were professional, sensitive, and so supportive, thank you.Thank you for the beautiful orchid received last week, again, an unexpected extra that gave closure to what could have been a stressful time, if it wasn’t for Hollowell’s looking after us so well.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

“Having used you for our Parents’ funerals many years ago, I had no hesitation in asking you to deal with my husband’s funeral when he passed away recently. Everything – including our special wishes – was dealt with in your unique special way and David Phillips was so attentive and caring. Not only that but all the little ‘extras’ were above and beyond and helped to make the whole experience much more bearable. My family and I would like to thank you all so much – including Andrew Fox the Celebrant – for giving John the ‘good send off’ he so richly deserved. We couldn’t have wished for better”.

Thank you for your team’s efforts to deliver an excellent service in respect of mother earlier today. We were all very pleased with the arrangement and coordination of the event, particularly during these difficult times.
I was especially impressed with the performance of your chosen celebrant, Andrew Fox, who was both friendly and professional. In addition to the personal tributes given by our family members, Andrew made me feel that his tribute, prayers and coffin-side address was equally personal and touching. You’re fortunate to have access to him.
