I made a preliminary phone call to Farthing as I had no experience of organising a funeral. I chose Farthing from the reviews and my call was answered by Francesca. She advised me of what I needed to do once their services were required. Francesca came to the house when my husband died and the removal was carried out in the most respectful manner. She advised my daughters and I in relation to the choice of casket and the numerous procedures necessary. She also arranged for us to meet the Celebrant, a lovely lady Jane Lord. Throughout a very traumatic time Francesca was a calming, respect

Farthing funeral service was recommended to me by a close friend. We had Matthew as the funeral director he was very professional yet caring he made me feel so Relaxed, Comfortable and reassured. I was confident that my husband was in good hands. Matthew took his time to explain The funeral procedure in details. He gave me plenty of time to process all the information. I’m so grateful to Matthew and this team for their support right to the end. A very big thank you to Father’s funeral service and to Matthew and his team.
