What people say

★★★★★
I believe West Berks funeral directors are the best around the Newbury area. I have used their services on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. They always reach a consistent level of professionalism, combined with a personal and caring service. I would definitely recommend this company to anybody.
★★★★★
Karina at WBFD arranged both my mum’s and dad’s funeral and the burial of their ashes. She really helped make a difficult task as smooth and easy as it possibly could be. She somehow managed to be professional and reliable, and friendly and approachable all at the same time.
★★★★★
Peter took care of the funeral arrangements for my late father. His helpfulness, care, and attention to detail were second to none. Everything went smoothly, and I am very grateful.
★★★★★
Peter Cox more than fulfilled my expectations when arranging the funeral for my late brother. The service went ahead with the minimum of fuss, and throughout Peter maintained a discreet and sensitive approach, whilst always being ready to help. He also arranged a humanist celebrant who performed her role admirably. The charges were fair, and there was none of the upselling pressure that I experienced from other funeral directors I had approached. I would have no hesitation in recommending West Berkshire Funeral Directors to others, and my 5 star rating was well-deserved.

Called into here today, hoping the guys could help us find a flower holder for our sons headstone, as someone had taken ours from his grave 😥 The lads went above and beyond to find us one that would fit into our sons headstone. Even suggesting other independent funeral directors. They showed so much compassion to us, and then did something amazing and overwhelming that it brought a tear to our eyes. It was an emotional time, and we completely forget to even get their names. But my self and my wife just want to sat a big thank you.
