It was really good, excellent in fact. Reverend Doug Spenceley was superb, he paced it completely right. It’s been hard but you really helped.

The service we received has been exceptional, in particular from Ann O’Neill, Jane Gower and Jayne Gammage for the follow-up. Everyone is so good including the drivers who on the day were so respectful and kind. They are putting themselves at risk without thinking. That’s very selfless. We are being genuine when we say we really didn’t expect it to be done as well as it was. A lot of the stress was taken from us and the empathy and compassion goes above and beyond.
Your family firm conducted my husbands funeral in January, I felt I had to drop you a message to congratulate you on your staff, everyone one of them from the ladies on reception, the lad who does the printing, the gentlemen who drove the cars, Helen who conducted Alan’s interment and I am sure there is a few people who work behind the scenes who we do not see need my thanks.
But I must make a special mention for Chloe what a lovely lady nothing was too much trouble for her, and she showed us such care and compassion, so from my family and I “THANK YOU SO MUCH “ for making a very difficult time a little bit easier.
My family and I would like to take this opportunity to express how kind and caring Paul Hollowell was to me when my husband died. My first point of contact was Tracey who was very professional and respectful to my needs with regards to my funeral plans and who arranged everything. On the day of the funeral the arrangements were carried out with care and dignity with a beautiful service held at Nene Valley Crematorium.
I cannot thank Hollowells enough for their support and kindness.
I felt I must write and say how grateful my family and I were to Hollowells for the way you dealt with my fathers funeral arrangements. From the minute we walked in we were treated with the upmost respect and dignity. Everything was carried out with the upmost professionalism, even down to the small gestures and keepsakes. The Imperial Hearse was the most fitting way to send Dad on his final journey. Thank you to everyone.
My family have used Hollowells’ funeral services on a number of occasions since 1996 and we have always been impressed with your company’s professionalism and sensitive approach. Sadly my Mother,Constance, passed away on Jan 25th and once again I have been very pleased with the help given by Hollowells both in organising the funeral / interment of the ashes and support during the bereavement. I would particularly like to mention Chloe whose kindness,empathetic approach,,reliability and knowledge helped to lighten the load at this otherwise difficult time.
I cannot thank Amy enough for making this go smoothly and stress free. She was always on hand and answered all questions and advised me what to do during the service. I cannot fault the service provided. I have since spoken to friends praising you and they have all confirmed they also received the same fantastic service from you.
On behalf of my family I would like to thank Hollowells for the way the funeral was managed throughout. We found your staff to be very professional at all times. Amy was fantastic and took care of any requests we had. Whilst never easy dealing with such matters, Hollowells put our mind at rest from start to finish. Once again, please pass our gratitude on to your team.
I was so pleased that Amy was my contact at Hollowells. She always struck the right note. She was professional, organised and efficient but also compassionate, kind, dignified and understanding. I had complete faith that she would do a good job for me on a very difficult day and she did and this helped me to cope. Keith was also helpful in organising the order of service and Obitus tribute.
Just to say thankyou for all of your help concerning the care and funeral service of my Mum,
Mrs Olwen Curran.
From my initial meeting with Tracey Taylor, everything was conducted with care and professionalism throughout the process and everyone was accommodating to our wishes and needs and able to make what was undoubtably the most difficult time in my life go as smoothly as possible.
You cared for her well, and every thing we, and she would have wanted was addressed and Mum left us looking magnificent in her clothes specially picked out for her. Every detail was attended to and I am so glad of the care given to her which was a huge relief to me as this was one of my biggest worries in the weeks following her passing.
Special thanks to Tracey for putting up with my incessant emails, and also to Ann O’Neill for Meeting with me prior to the service, for her professionalism during the day and most importantly for going the extra mile at every opportunity to ensure that my Mum had the farewell that she really did deserve.
I just want you to know how grateful we all are at this end for everything you have done, and for attending to all the small details we requested in order to make it exactly how it needed to be – It really is appreciated.
