From the moment that we contacted Howard Chadwick's after the passing of our brother in January, they have been professional, reliable and sensitive. Nothing has been too much trouble for them, they have answered all of our many questions with patience and understanding, even when we have rang several times a day. Circumstances for our funeral changed at the last minute and we even had a call from Alistair over the weekend to ensure that we were reassured that everything was in place for the funeral on a Monday morning - this was a great relief to us, highlighting their empathy and thoughtfuln

I would like to thank everyone at Howard Chadwick's for their support. I wanted my husband to go back to Oxfordshire from Wiltshire as this was his home ground. From the recovery from the Swindon hospital to the Chapel of Rest and all the arrangements they were respectful and professional. Nothing was too much, even when I changed my mind on the Order of Service, I wanted it to be perfect and it was. The Celebrant they suggested, Helen was superb, so many people commented on her professional and loving manner. Thomas, Alistair and Ashley all had my thoughts and requirements at heart. Thank you

Chadwicks made the funeral arrangements for my mother early in January 2026. They are a very professional firm, thinking of everything that needed to be done and in a very caring, respectful and thoughtful way. We dealt with Ashley at the funeral home, meeting up with him several times. He was always helpful and good at his job and produced a splendid Order of Service. Ryan and Tom looked after us before and during the service, collecting us from our house, taking us to the service and then on to the wake. They ensured that every detail ran smoothly with an unhurried and caring approach. Chadw

We just had Howard Chadwick’s look after the arrangements for my dad’s cremation recently. I cannot express how amazing the team were, they went above and beyond what we expected especially both Alistair and Ryan. Knowing them for many years helped the process more but you could tell the professionalism, communication and attention to detail was nothing but the highest standard. I would not recommend anyone other than this team and can only speak highly of the service that was given. Thankyou for making this process as easy to take in as possible. James Shipman
