★★★★★
Ballard & Shortall supported us with our baby’s funeral. On the day of the funeral, the team ensured all went well and thought ahead to make the difficult day more bearable. No request was a problem on the funeral day.

I can’t praise Wendy and her team enough for their dedication, professionalism and thoughtful approach to arranging my Mother’s funeral recently. Her patience and advice were of an enormous help in a very difficult time and I would definitely recommend Ballard & Shortall to anyone.

Excellent service from Wendy and the team from start to finish. She really went out of her way to make a difficult situation as easy as possible. I would highly recommend Ballard and Shortall, especially Wendy - kind, empathetic and really well organised. Thanks Wendy!

We recently used Ballard and Shortall Horsham to take care of dad’s funeral. I must say the whole team were amazing, especially Wendy. She was so thoughtful and caring. Nothing was too much trouble every detail was taken into consideration. Wendy also put us in touch with Karen Acres who is an amazing officiant who was also so thoughtful, kind and genuine. I feel I must mention Paul the funeral director he made us all feel at ease, took control in a very lovely way and even made us smile on this very sad day. They all really made it such a lovely service for us and dad. Thank you

Ballard & Shortall with Wendy in the Horsham office were completely professional and friendly throughout the whole process of arranging my wife’s funeral, nothing was too much trouble we were hand held from start to finish. One thing I was not expecting was a grey hearse, it was absolutely magnificent the icing on the cake for me. I would strongly recommend their service.
