From initial contact with you, Chloe, we felt a great weight had lifted from our shoulders. You gently and subtly guided us down a path which led to the best possible day Mum could ever have had under the circumstances.

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 wholeheartedly want people to know about Hollowells. You guys couldn’t do enough. It was an amazing, lovely, beautiful funeral and that helps to make you feel so much better.”
Hollowells surpassed my expectations. They were extremely professional, informative, supportive and very sensitive to my family’s needs and requests. Amy was particularly kind and understanding. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services. It’s a rare thing in this day and age that you can say a company are ‘truly special’.
I would just like to take the opportunity to send you my heartfelt thanks for the fantastic service your company provided following my Dads sudden passing last month. Our funeral director, Ann, was outstanding – I have never had to deal with anything like this before and being an only child felt a little out of my depth. Ann was kind and supportive all the way through the process, giving me all the right advice and guidance when I needed it. She comforted me and laughed with me and is a credit to your business. I have sent her a thank you email directly but welcome the opportunity to share my feedback with yourself.
Thank you so much for the amazing send off that we managed to give my dad.
From the point of making first contact on a Sunday to gather information I was assured by the compassion shown by the out of hours member of staff, just the fact that the call was ended by the representative calling me by my first name was such a pleasant surprise.
Each time I visited the Beech Avenue premises I was warmly greeted, and I cannot stress how uplifting the décor was and not at all what I was expecting – congratulations to all.
Now to specifically mention Janene, who was very calm/caring and supportive and each appointment. Outlining the process, and each time telling me not to worry and she was always available if needed.
This was extremely helpful as I was the only family member mourning my mum’s passing, and it was very much appreciated at the funeral with the Hollowell’s bearers in attendance.
On behalf of my family and I regarding my husband Arthurs funeral. We would like to thank you and your staff for the excellent care we received, everything was arranged so professionally and sensitively. It was a difficult time for us losing a loved one. Special thanks to Tracey who made all the arrangements, her personality is great, she made us feel so comfortable, she was professional, but also a very kind warm person with a sense of humour, which puts you at ease, she bent over backwards to help us get over a little hiccup, she got everything sorted how we wanted. she is an asset to you all. Also a big thank you to the lovely Ann who led the cortege, she was so kind and caring, she linked arms with me on they way to the car, and also when we went in for the service as I was upset, she was very comforting, then waited for me when we came out. also a great asset. Also special thanks to Andrew Fox the celebrant who conducted the service, what a lovely kind man, and as we had chosen how we wanted the service he went along with it with just a few tweaks, he is an asset to his profession. And a big thank you to the pallbearers and the drivers , they are all so professional. Lastly a big thank you to Simon who did a little ceremony at Piddington cemetery when Arthurs ashes were laid in his final resting place yesterday, thank you Simon. Last of all thankyou for the lovely Orchid that was delivered to me, it is lovely.
We have always used Hollowell’s for our family funerals
This is the third time I have used Hollowells to carry out the funeral arrangements for a member of my family. On every occasion they have provided a caring and exemplary service. Nothing has been too much trouble, every person in their team has been kind and helpful. After the recent funeral of my husband many of the people present said to me “if you can have a good funeral that was one”. I feel Hollowells played a big part in giving the family a chance to say goodbye in the way they wanted.
Your service is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. What you’ve done is very touching and so heartfelt. You’ve made the process manageable and it was comforting to know Mum was in your care. As always, you’ve given a wonderful service, it was a fantastic send-off. It’s a pleasure dealing with you all.
Your company did us proud. Chloe and Dick Taylor did a marvellous job.
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.
