My daughters and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all your staff for organising my husband’s funeral. Everything went very smoothly as arranged and this was due to the professionalism, commitment and dedication of all your staff and for this we are very grateful. In particular, we would like to thank Keith for his help and patience in preparing the visual tribute and Amy, who officiated on the day, for her support and care. We were also very grateful to you for choosing Jayne Harcock as the celebrant. She was so warm and friendly and went above and beyond her call of duty. She made what was a very sad day for us, something we can treasure and look back on with intense pride and gratitude. So many people remarked to us how beautiful the service was and this was all down to you and your staff, so thank you.

Thank you for looking after my family and myself during this sad time. I had not been responsible for a funeral before so initially felt a bit overwhelmed knowing that many things had to be arranged. When I met Ann at the parlour she was immediately reassuring and my fears about it all quickly faded. Her sense of gentleness and kindness filtered through everything and continued to do so right up to when the funeral was complete, so I would like her to be praised for both her kindness and professionalism. I only met Keith briefly and did not meet others in the firm so cannot make further comment. I would also like to thank you for all the ‘gifts’ and bereavement guidance you gave, again a very thoughtful and kind gesture.
“In light of all this, I have no hesitation in recommending Hollowell’s for a loved one’s funeral and for their offer of aftercare support”.

You never fail us. We wouldn’t use anyone else. You’re brilliant. Simon Hollowell was superb; as always. Thank you for being there.

I have nothing but admiration for you, you do a wonderful job. This is the third time we’ve used you and I wouldn’t hesitate to come to you again. Please send my thanks to Keith who did a brilliant Order of Service and to Chloe for all she has done. You’re all lovely.

When my wife died, I decided that I would like the funeral arrangements to be handled by a family firm where the service would be personal, and so I approached Hollowells. From the family’s very first contact we all felt we were in safe hands. We had so many questions and these were all dealt with sympathetically and clearly and all the arrangements leading up to the funeral went very smoothly. Our wishes were carried out to the letter.
On the day itself all the members of Hollowells staff, led by Chloe, looked after us in an exceptional manner: they were attentive and sympathetic but never overbearing in any way. We were able to spend the time we felt we needed at every stage without being rushed, which was very important to us. The orders of service were beautifully produced as were a number of keepsakes. We had decided on having my wife’s cremated remains interred in our local cemetery: Hollowells looked after the arrangements for this and also attended on the day to guide us through that process, which was more than we had expected. A helpful booklet regarding dealing with bereavement was also provided as a follow-up, along with a beautiful orchid.
Losing a beloved wife and mother is unbearably hard, but was softened as much as possible by Hollowells’ exemplary service to our family. Our thanks and appreciation cannot be overstated.

Hollowells arranged my late husband’s funeral having been recommended to me by a friend. They were super efficient, caring and understanding and there for me throughout. In particular their attention to personal details I requested was most impressive as was the webcast for which I received great praise. Everything ran smoothly and to plan and the follow up information and special gestures I received have given me much comfort for the future. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

We were very pleased with the service we received many years ago, when we used Hollowells for my Father’s funeral , so when our Mum passed away recently, this was the only funeral directors we would use.It was also Mum’s last wish.
We no longer live locally and travelling to Northampton to arrange the funeral was not really an option. We cannot thank Amy Gooding highly enough for the way she dealt with Mum’s funeral , from arranging a remote conference call to Emails and telephone conversations to sort all the details out.
The actual cremation and subsequent service of remembrance was handled with dignity and respect. We could not have asked for more.
Also thanks to Keith for designing and printing the top quality order of service sheets.
Hollowells are a very professional organisation and I thoroughly recommend them without reservation.
Kind regards and many thanks

“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”.

Sincere thanks to all at Hollowells for their oustanding attention to detail and their compassionate care of Rose and the wider family.
Especial thanks go to Dale Earl for his calm and sympathetic approach which made us know that we were in the safest of hands.
The funeral was conducted beautifully by Kaylie Cullen. Her quiet demeanour and professionalism made the service so special and it enabled us to remember Rose as she would have wished.
We were recommended to ‘The Secret Garden’ for our floral tribute and they gave us the most glorious arrangement which was exactly what we asked for.
Thank you once again for your care and attention at this sad time.
