Bridgewater provided an incredibly kind, professional, and compassionate service during a very difficult time for our family. Abby, in particular, was exceptional — she was so gentle, patient, and caring with my mum, and it made a huge difference to her during such an emotional period. All of the staff were lovely, including the drivers and the coffin bearers, who were respectful, friendly, and supportive throughout. They also gave myself and my brother’s friends the chance to carry the coffin too, carefully showing us what to do. We always felt in good hands. Nothing felt rushed or impersona

We have used Emma and the team on quite a few occasions now, having had to say good bye to elderly parents over the years. The kindness shown to ourselves and the family is second to none.

From the very first contact, to every step of the funeral arrangements, Abbie, Michael and the team have been incredibly supportive, professional and kind. We couldn’t thank them enough and wholeheartedly recommend Bridgewater Funeral Service.

BFS handled our Mum's Funeral exceptionally well. Abbie and Michael delivered a service that was professional, compassionate, efficient and thorough. Much much better than expected! The final cost of the whole package was actually less than we expected too - with no surprising extras. I would highly recommend this family run independent business. They did our Mum proud. Thank You.

Honestly can't thank Abbie & Micheal enough for the service, care & dignity they gave to the family before, during and after the service of my brother in law graham gwilt. You were so polite and considerate. Would definitely recommend this place and definitely would use again. Thank you 😊
