★★★★★
Thank you very much for being so caring and compassionate with my mum's funeral, your staff were very patient and very understanding of what we were going through. We have used another local undertaker for numerous family bereavements, but we found your service much more personal and professional. Can you send a big thank you to all the staff at the Wantage office. Many, many thanks.
★★★★★
The help we received from Suzanne at Oliver and James when planning my mother's funeral was outstanding. Sympathetic, kind and gentle. The advice given was excellent and we were gently and patiently led through everything, sometimes several times when I just couldn't take everything in. On the actual day I had complete confidence that everything would run according to plan, as indeed it did. My family and I are hugely grateful, we recommend Oliver and James without hesitation.
★★★★★
We the family cannot speak highly enough about these funeral professionals. Their extensive experience, professionalism, and genuine empathy truly shine through in everything they do. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, they offered compassionate support and handled every detail with such care and expertise. Their kindness and understanding made a challenging situation a little easier to bear. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of caring, dedicated, and experienced funeral services.

Had an odd request to move the ashes of my beloved 17 year old dog from the scatter tube to the urn, and Simon was more than happy to, showing grace and empathy despite my loss being of a pet. Clean and peaceful premises. I'm sure I'll need a service again and will immediately return to Oliver & James Funeral Directors without hesitation.
★★★★★
I cannot thank Suzanne enough for all of her help arranging my father’s funeral. All round great experience with her, she made me feel as at ease as I could be planning a funeral, went out of her way to check up on me which I thought was personally such a nice thing to do. The funeral went as good as it could for a funeral and we as a family are very happy and grateful to Suzanne.
