TESTIMONIALS

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”.

I wanted to drop you a quick line of appreciation for the professional services and support your team has provided around the funeral of my wife.

Tracey at Brafield started us off well with her business like (which helped me on the day) but clearly caring approach. She guided us well and I felt I could ask her anything, this supportive demeanor helped a lot as we were navigating the other elements of the funeral. Tracey recommended Andrew for our celebrant which was a great choice and a number of friends and family have complemented his tone and delivery. We also felt very comfortable that he was helping us through.

Last but by no means least Janine who was first class on the day. She was clearly very experienced and as a programme manager myself I notice and appreciate when someone is all across the details. Despite this wealth of experience however it was clear we were her priority and I felt supported and well looked after.

I am sure you know you have a great team but I wanted to give you my thanks because they made one of the hardest days of my life a little easier.

I just wanted to share our  special thanks to you and your team for your professionalism and commitment  in carrying out mums funeral on Thursday.

We were all so pleased how it went and felt comforted by your presence to ensure it all ran smoothly on the day.

When you first came to see us at home I felt your knowledge and kindness was exceptional.

Your advice was so useful and appropriate and enabled us to make the right choices to ensure the day went well.

We all felt that the service we received was so right for mum , the Reverend Swan spoke as though he knew her and the Windmills green burial site was just perfect.

The only sadness was that mum could not see it as she would have loved the flowers and wildlife all around.

Once again I would like to thank you Amy.

You were just so wonderful and I cannot praise you enough Thankyou from Mandy, Brian and Jeanette and all the family.

As a family we would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff at Hollowells for the care and compassion shown when we lost our mum in January. From the dignity and respect shown from when mum was placed in your care to our final goodbye we have nothing but gratitude for the kindness, compassion and thoughtfulness experienced at a very emotive time. Having lost our dad in May 2022 it is lovely to be able to say that Hollowells cared for our dad in the same way, for which we will always be grateful.In particular we would like to especially mention Chloe – we entrusted her with arranging our dad’s funeral and when it came time to plan for mum the only person we wanted to help us was Chloe because of her professionalism and sincerity. In addition we would also like to mention Trudy and Tracy for always having a friendly face and a hug when it was needed.  Losing our parents so close together was hard but Hollowells’personal approach and genuine care made it that little bit easier which we will never forget. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Just want to say how the whole family want to thank Hollowells for Guy’s beautiful funeral. The whole morning was handled so well by everyone involved.
A special thank you to Janine who was helpful, assertive with what we needed and so so lovely.
We would definitely recommend and use your company again.

Everything was ideal/perfect including the weather- but that, in particular, was totally due to nature of course!The hearse arrived outside of the house on time with the Banana Leaf Curved Coffin looking lovely with the 2 flower displays safely on top. My sister had pre-arranged and pre-paid a Humanist and green Celebration of her life rather than a conventional funeral and I will be doing the same! Unfortunately we do not live anywhere near Northampton so will have to hope for Funeral Directors as considerate and professional as the team at Hollowells when the time comes. I would recommend you without hesitation.

As a family we have been so grateful to your staff in the arrangements for my Mother’s funeral. From the start when we first met Ann O’Neill we have felt that we were listened to as to our wishes. Everything was done to make the organisation as stress free as possible, particularly when we were feeling upset. All the family and other attendees at the service said how lovely it all was. We would especially like to thank Ann, Andrew Fox ,who took so much trouble to get to know us and my Mum and to the organist on the day. The staff in the office were so helpful in putting together the order of service and making sure it was all correct.

Thank you all.

I’d like to thank you all at Hollowells for helping to arrange the funeral service for my late husband Steve on 14th January.

During such a sad and difficult period for me it was most comforting to know that Steve was in such loving and caring hands.

From the initial discussions through to the Service on the day, everything was provided with kindness and professionalism – this made a huge difference and I shall remember it forever.

Please also pass on my warm thanks to Rev Martin Swan for a lovely send off from a fellow Chelsea supporter – Steve would have appreciated this so much.

 Many, many heartfelt thanks,

“I just wanted to say thank you for your help and support yesterday. Thank you also for putting the yellow rose on the casket before it was lowered. It was a very thoughtful touch and hugely appreciated. It was very special to me I and I know he would have loved that as did I. Also, the care we received during the viewing at the Chapel of Rest was exemplary.”
