You made it as painless as you could. We were very pleased, the whole thing went well. It was a good sending off. Reverend Judy Evans, Amy and Keith were all brilliant.

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 and I could not have asked for more care, support and kindness that we received from your Company. David was so sympathetic and supportive. I know it is what you do but it felt above and beyond. Thank you again.
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 for the way you have dealt with what was such a difficult time for us all as a family. The professionalism and care that was given to us from day one was second to none. Our gratitude cannot be expressed enough in a card. You made us feel valued from our first meeting to the difficult day and the aftercare has been amazing. We would highly recommend your local business to any one unfortunate to have been in the same situation as ourselves. We felt you cared. Thank-you again
Just wanted to say thank you so much for not only today but for the lead up of today all the care attention and professionalism.
The service was faultless as was your professionalism for all your team.
Could you please kindly pass on my thanks to all the team from the office staff, the design team, bearers, driver, behind the scenes teams, office staff and the procession lead.
Thank you so much for an amazing send off.
I want to thank Hollowells for their comforting work in staging my wife Marie’s funeral. Particular thanks to funeral director Janene Hart who guided me through the process in such a clear and friendly way. On the day itself she was a pillar of strength, who I could rely on at every turn. Thanks also to the ladies in the front office for their cheerful help and the bearers and drivers for their immaculate service,
And not least to Keith, for producing a truly beautiful order of service, a memorial to Marie in itself.
We would like to thank you for your very thoughtful organisation of Mum‘s funeral. It was all carried out discreetly with great sensitivity and calm and with a caring and compassionate attitude to her and us the family. We really appreciated the personal touch of you directing the proceedings yourself Paul. We were positively struck by the journey via Mum’s house for one last time on the way to the Crematorium. We could not have asked for better in all. We would like to praise you and your staff for the warm and considerate dealings with us at all times during the entire process. We were moved by the gift of the orchid and Practical Guide of Losing a Loved One. Everything had the personal and caring touch of Paul and leaves a very strong and positive impression with us. In addition, we would like to thank the caterers whose food was praised by all. It was a good spread and quiche and cheesecake were particularly favoured. The quantities were just right, too. The flowers we ordered were magnificent, beautifully done, both spray and posy. Both seemed to express joy and celebration – just what we had hoped for.
Amy, in fact everybody I dealt with at Hollowells was fantastic. Our driver was also lovely. You will be our first call if we ever need a Funeral Director because we were more than happy.
I would just like to say thank you to hollowells for the send off that we received for Alan. Everything went wonderfully and we are very appreciative of your services and staff contact. Secondly I would like to express sincere gratitude to Ann O Neill. Her professionalism, sincerity and continued support throughout the whole process and afterwards was truly amazing. She is kind, considerate and compassionate and we could not have asked for a better person to help us through this difficult time. She is truly an asset to your company.
I wanted to say how pleased Elly and I were with Mike’s funeral on Friday. Not surprisingly, we weren’t looking forward to it, but you and your team helped make it a lot easier for us.
We would like to thank you and Hollowells for the care you have taken of Mike and the support that you have given us throughout the last few weeks. It really has made a difference at such a difficult time in our lives. I have to say that the way you conducted yourself and your team on Friday was so professional and respectful, and that was so important to us.
