Haine & Son provided exceptional service, with a dedicated team demonstrating genuine care and compassion during a very difficult time. I could not have hoped for better support and arrangements for my late husband and our family – their professionalism, patience, respectfulness, and dignity were commendable. They allowed us to personalise the service to honour my husband's life, which was very important to us. All our requests were accommodated without issue, and we felt fully supported and heard throughout the process. Everyone who attended the funeral expressed that the service was excell

The service we received from the moment my mum went into the care of Haines was outstanding. They completely took over and guided us with our decisions every step of the way, and were always on the end of the phone if we needed anything. All the stress was taken away by their loving care. My mum received the best care possible and we were so thankful for the how they looked after her in preparation for our visit. She looked so peaceful and like she was having the best sleep. The room we were in was so calm and peaceful and everything was explained about how the room was set out before we went

I recently used Haine & Son Polegate funeral services for my mum’s funeral, and I can’t thank them enough for their care and professionalism during such a difficult time. From the very beginning, they were compassionate, respectful, and attentive to every detail. They made a challenging process much easier to navigate and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. Their support and understanding meant a great deal to me and my family. I would also highly recommend Heather Godding whom they recommended for the celebrant service, to anyone in need of a thoughtful and truly personal funeral.

The whole process of arranging my Mothers funeral was made very straight forward. All options were explained to me in detail but in a way that was easily understood by someone who was grieving. Jodie, the funeral director was obviously very experienced, her respect and understanding was clear from my first meeting to the day of the funeral. Her team were immaculately turned out as were the vehicles. After the funeral I had to collect Mum's ashes from the funeral home, I wasn't looking forward to this but Vanessa made the process very easy, she explained about the certificate with the ashes and

All the staff at Haines Polegate are caring, compassionate and efficient, and deal with customers with great kindness. And that care does not simply stop on the day of the funeral, but they are 'there' for folk in the difficult weeks and months following the loss of a loved one. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Truly a first class service from a dedicated team- I cannot recommend them highly enough.
