★★★★★
Just wanted to thank everyone for the well organised funeral today. We are very grateful for all you have done over the past few weeks it all went very smoothly. And our celebrant Carolyn Doyle was wonderful. 🙏
★★★★★
I sadly lost my husband earlier this year and used Bakers for the funeral. right from the outset, the service we received was impeccable. Myself, my son and daughter were met by Wendy, who immediately put us at ease and went through all of the different options available. Throughout the whole process, Wendy was available for any questions we had (and there were many). We had a bespoke coffin wrap reflecting my Husband's love of the sea., which everyone commented on. The whole process from the very first day up to and including interning the ashes for our collection was made as comfortable a
★★★★★
Simply world class. We tragically lost our daughter recently & Bakers handled everything right from the start. Special thanks to Andrea, Jack and Tony. Thank you 😊
★★★★★
We arranged our funeral through Bakers. From the first phone call, they were outstanding. Fortunately, I have never organised a funeral, but Wendy at Bakers was very understanding and always there to help and guide us through the process. We also had some complicated arrangements but again Bakers were able to help at every stage and with each request. On the day, the funeral went ahead without any problems and exactly as we arranged it, plus the pallbearers were fantastic and very courteous. Bakers were brilliant and I whole heartedly recommend them.
★★★★★
Wonderful service given with a personal touch. Have sadly had cause to use a funeral director twice this year, February for my wife's mother and then April for my father. We used Bakers Funeral Services for both and could not have been more satisfied with the service we received from Wendy in Danbury. Wendy is wonderful, kind, helpful and efficient. My wife and I feel satisfied that both our parents received the dignified funeral services they deserved, during this particularly difficult time of the COVID19 pandemic.
