What people say

★★★★★
In the last 3 months I have used Howards services for both my parents. The service has been excellent from start to finish - with initial plans and suggestions, following up on arrangements, organising services etc to seamless events on the day. They pay particular attention to details and act with the utmost compassion and respect for yourselves and your loved one. I can recommend their services as 5 star and in particular thanks to Lindsay and Paul - but also the other more hidden members of this excellent team.
★★★★★
My beloved Aunts funeral was faultless due to top class service from Howards. This at a time when support was really appreciated.. A hugely professional team indeed. Lyndsey was exceptional in every way! Thank you.

Howards Funeral Directors were excellent in every way, from planning the funeral to delivering it. We were struggling with tight deadlines due to Easter, but they were able to make it work and provide a funeral of the highest quality. They coped with some last minute changes and traffic delays on the day to get us there on time. It was commented on by everyone present that it was a lovely service. It could not have gone better nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to Lyndsay, Derek, Carl and all the staff involved

The team were very helpful, from the start when I needed help to know what was available, to the end, and the service was conducted according to my wishes.
★★★★★
Every aspect was dealt with sensitively and efficiently, with great attention to detail. This is exactly the sort of service that is needed at such a difficult time.
