  • I would like to say a huge thank you to you for the amazing service you provided following the death of my children’s Dad.  Everything was handled sensitively and thoughtfully by Amy, with all the stress of the arrangements being taken away before we had time to think about them, making a very upsetting time much easier to cope with.  Ours wasn’t an easy funeral either with Amy arranging for our loved one to be brought to Northampton from 150 miles away then on to another town, also 150 miles away, for the service, with everything going seamlessly on the day.  Nothing was too much trouble for which we’re very grateful.

    Hopefully we won’t need you again soon, but if we do, you will definitely be our first call!

  • Thank you so much for everything you did to make yesterday special. Your attention to detail and concern right down to the lovely rose petals for the grave made us feel cared for.

    It was a wonderful send off for my mum which she would have loved.

  • 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.

  • We cannot thank the team enough for the kindness, compassion and professionalism they showed our family during such a difficult time. From the very beginning, we were met with warmth, patience and genuine care, and guided through everything in a way that made a heart breaking time feel more manageable. A very special thank you to Ann, who went above and beyond. Her kindness, understanding and gentle support meant more than we can say. She took the time to listen, reassure us and ensure everything was just right for our Mumma. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we will always be grateful. Everything was handled with dignity, respect and great attention to detail. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our Mumma was in such caring hands. Thank you for helping us give her the beautiful farewell she deserved.

  • The family would like to thank everyone at Hollowells funerals for the compassionate, professional and caring way they supported us following the loss of our late mum, Gillian (Peggy} and  the previous cremation of our father Harold (Harry). From the start through to the days of the funerals, every detail was handled efficiently with dignity and sensitivity a special thanks to Janene for overseeing everything and always available to answer questions, indeed as all the staff were. We would recommend “lay reader “Mr Aaron Day for his for his assistance with the service, especially arranging a meeting prior to the funeral to discuss with us the finer details of the service.

  • I had to drop a line, to say what a kind and professional way, Amy and your team, carried out my wife’s funeral last Tuesday, at Bugbrooke Church.

    Right from the first meeting, at your premises, to the day of the funeral, she was a credit to your company.

    Please convey my warmest thanks to her, for making a difficult day, a little easier.

  • We cannot thank Hollowells ,and especially Amy, our Funeral Director enough, for the care and compassion they showed us. 

    From the very first moment, we were treated with such warmth, patience, and genuine kindness that we felt supported and understood during one of the most painful times of our lives. 

    Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every detail was handled with dignity, sensitivity, and respect. Amy and the rest of the team carried us through the entire process with reassurance and grace, allowing us to focus on saying goodbye to our dad. Their service was truly faultless, and we will be forever grateful for everything they did for our family. 

    We would highly recommend.

From our first contact through to the day of the funeral, every detail was handled efficiently with dignity and sensitivity. Special thanks to Amy for overseeing everything and always being available to explain or reassure and to Tracey at Brafield office for the much needed hugs and listening ear. As a family we felt completely looked after and everything proceeded exactly as we wanted it to.’

  • I just wanted to thank you on behalf of my family for providing such a good service all round from when I first spoke to Hollowells.
    Making arrangements at a distance carries a degree of concern that all will be as stated, but Hollowells provided everything and more that we could have asked for.
    Everything was extremely well organised and communication was very efficient.  It all helps with not having to worry about anything else other than being there on the day.
     

    There was nothing you as a company have not thought through.

  • 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.
