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.

I would like to say thank you Tracey and to all the staff of Hollowells involved in my dear sister’s funeral, they were brilliant and everything went so well, just as I had planned and wished.
The Stags Head, you told us about, was also perfect, the staff there, amazing.
May I send my sincere thanks for the excellent service we have received from all at Hollowells for the funeral of my late husband, Sidney. From the very beginning, to the funeral and, importantly, beyond, I could not have asked for a more caring, professional approach from you. We could perhaps expect the major tasks to be undertaken well (and they certainly were) but it was the small touches that will stay in the mind – calling to enquire how I was coping; the lovely presentation pack after the funeral; the courteous and helpful response to any query. I could not have asked for any better and am truly grateful.
As usual we couldn’t fault your service or your staff. You can tell what type of business you are from the reception staff through to the Funeral Directors. It was brilliant. It is a difficult day but when you have got people doing their job properly, it helps. Thank you.
May I say how pleased we were with your entire service on the day of my late cousin Jean Till cremation and also for the services of your appointed celebrant Martin Buckby for the smooth running of the order of service on the day. Many thanks to your team for your professionalism.
We would like to thank you all for the kindness and compassion shown throughout the whole funeral process. A difficult time was made a little easier with your professionalism.
A personal thanks to Dale if you could pass our message on we would be grateful
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 want to say a big thank you to you and all your team for arranging my mother’s funeral. It all went as well as we could have hoped and we were really happy with the way you handled everything so professionally on the day itself and beforehand. You were very patient with all our questions and very understanding with our deliberations about the coffin and the colour of stain. Thank you for helping us through a difficult few weeks.
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.
I wanted to thank you and Hollowells for the wonderful support you and your colleagues gave me and my family for my aunt’s funeral. You were always so sympathetic and helpful, as well as professional. Not living locally, it was also good to know the phone is always answered promptly. The day went every bit as well as I’d hoped.
I was so pleased with the final Order of Service – I really appreciated your graphic designer Clare spending the time to get the text right, and she also improved the colour on the back-page photos.
And the music was all played in at exactly the right moments.
You and your colleagues also made ending the service and being able to spend time with guests in the memorial garden go very smoothly. Along with ensuring everyone took a wildflower seed envelope, and that they saw the option for a charity donation. I was also very pleased with the floral tribute – which looked beautiful on a table at the reception.
The reception went well at The Royal Oak in Blisworth – their Acorn Barn is a good venue, with access to the beer garden, and they were very pleasant and helpful with the catering. Thank you again for all your help – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hollowells.
It was perfect. Mum would have loved it.
