What people say

★★★★★
Myself & brother used A. Welch & Sons to arrange our dad’s funeral. Oli was brilliant from start to finish, he made the whole process smooth & easy at such a difficult time. He paid attention to all the little details which we really appreciate. Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough if you’re needing to use their services.
★★★★★
We cannot thank you enough for all your kindness, care, patience, support & understanding following our recent loss. At one of the worst times of our lives you “took our hands, eased the pain, giving support & guidance all the way.” We would especially like to thank Oli & the lovely Shelley for their attention to detail & extra care. For something “you do every day” you gave us your personal, individual care & for that too, we thank you sincerely Keith & Gill.
★★★★★
Ollie and his team helped arrange my father’s funeral and they were nothing short of fantastic. Ollie was patient, understanding, and extremely helpful. He made the whole process as easy as possible. I hope I never have to use Ollie’s services again, but if I do, I know I’ll be in good hands. Thank you!
★★★★★
Shelley and her team kindly accomodated every request we had, even the 'unusual' ones, in detail. They listened and understood our requirements and gently made suggestions along the way without us feeling pressured to accept. The communication was excellent. I especially appreciated the way Shelley cared for my 90 yro Dad. Mum would have liked how her own 'day' turned out. Thank you.
★★★★★
We would like to thank everyone at Welch & Sons for the kindness and compassion showed to us in regards to our Mum's day. A special thank you to Oli who organised everything for us. Nothing was too much trouble and the small details in wearing yellow ties and the sunflower pin badges (Mum's favourite flower) were a beautiful touch and we thank him so much for that. Highly recommend.
