What people say
★★★★★ I cannot fault the care and attention to detail that Neville's gave to my father's funeral. All the staff were so professional and respectful and took such care to get everything as we wanted. The flowers we ordered were beautiful. Their excellent service made a difficult day manageable and I was really grateful. They kept in contact throughout the weeks before the funeral to ensure all the details were correct. On the day - the staff were fantastic and everything went smoothly. I am very grateful for all Neville's did to make the funeral a special occasion.
★★★★★ Very good and professional service at all times from Adam who helped us to arrange the funeral to Stuart who officiated on the day. Excellent both of them
★★★★★ Thank you to everyone at Neville for arranging the funeral of our brother, you helped to make the day a very special send off.
We chose Neville for their great service we had received previously for our mother’s funeral a few years back and this time the service was the same – excellent, dignified and above all a compassionate team.
The team at Neville ensured that the whole process went smoothly with good guidance: nothing was too much trouble, Adam Robinson advised and arranged the funeral and dealt with everything, including flowers, printing, the church and the crematorium.
Peter, and th
★★★★★ Excellent service received from Neville's yesterday. A very caring and compassionate company who dealt with my Mum's funeral with perfection. Neville's introduced me to Katharine Ellis who conducted my Mum's service beautifully. A huge thank you to both Adam and Peter whose attention to detail was 100%. My family and I thank you all dearly.
★★★★☆ Good friendly service provided by Adam. Slight confusion about length of the letter tribute in the hearse and 8 letters did fit down one side.
Asked for family friendly celebrant and Jessica was ideal.
