What people say
★★★★★ We had such a lovely experience, everything was explained and made clear in a compassionate way. Everyone we dealt with were kind, help and sympathetic. The whole situation was made so much easier.
Aimee in particular was so lovely - I would definitely recommend and would use again.
★★★★★ Very considerate and empathetic organisation, great communication from start to finish and I cannot recommend them enough. What was a very upsetting time for me and my family was made easier and we felt comforted and supported by Aimee and her team.
★★★★★ From the outset, E.C Alderwick and Son have been exceptional in helping our family. They have been friendly and supportive and provided a professional yet personalised approach when helping us arrange a service which met both our families' and mother's wishes. Lauren was exemplary and we could not fault her. From start to finish, she went above and beyond and ensured the final farewell to our mum was beautiful and memorable. Many thanks, Chris Bracey
★★★★★ I can't quite remember the ladies name but she looked after my sister Siobhan back in 2016 in kingswood Bristol. I will never forget the way she'd painted my sisters nails and spoke with her. She was absolutely amazing I will never forget her. She made the last time I seen my sister the day before her funeral very special my sister looked as beautiful as she did everyday. She couldn't of made the whole thing more personal and perfect. I very often think about her you all really don't know how important you are to us all. Your dedication to your job and the families left behind is outstanding.
★☆☆☆☆ Absolutely heartbroken. We came by earlier in the week as my mum has tragically passed away to find ourselves stood at the front door for half an hour with no one answering. Also tried ringing the phone and had no luck. Went back to our car to see a man walking down the back lane with a big bag of shopping. No note on the door to say he had popped out nothing. Absolutely terrible service. Now we’re stuck not knowing what to do as my mum wanted to go there but if that’s what the staff are like we will be going elsewhere
