Ellen looked after me and my family. She is a credit to your team, really thoughtful. I was very comfortable talking to her. She kept me fully informed and took extra steps to add personal touches when she knew lilac was my mums favourite colour.

We used Gillmans Balham branch and they were accommodating and very good, they made us feel welcome from the very first moment. Estrella was incredible being new to the job she was compansiate, caring, supportive and went above and beyond which made a difference to us in this difficult time, she provided excellent customer service and was always there to help and answer any questions we had, and for guiding us through the funeral arrangements. Tony was very good he went through with us everything and made any wishes of ours possible especially on a difficult day We would highly recommend this

Gill was wonderful when she helped me to organise my husband's funeral. Everything was calm and she was really clear with all the options and made great and thoughtful recommendations. The Funeral Director was brilliant. He came to meet me the day before and talked through any needs. He also reminded / welcomed me to pack snacks for my young children as the funeral was around lunchtime. He was absolutely brilliant on the day, really helping them to be at ease. Hugely appreciated him and the team.

We used the Balham branch as they were recommended to us, primarily because they were in good proximity to the Cremetorium we had chosen to use for our service. We would like to thank Estrella for her kindness, support and guidance in organising the funeral and ensuring that we understood what needed to be completed and provided us with guidance for the different stages of planning the funeral. Estrella was also instrumental in introducing us to our celebrant for the service - Robert. Robert showed compassion, understanding and was able to help us create a service that celebrated my brothers l
