I wish to thank you for carrying out the Funeral Service for my Husband Maurice, in November 2016.
Your help and advice was very welcome when it was a very difficult time, and your attention to detail, carried out in a sensitive and understanding way was appreciated and you are to be recommended.
Engaging Anna Briggs to lead the service at the Crematorium was an excellent choice, along with all your work, and i couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Thank you again

"Just to say how Andrew had listening skills, Attention to detail and Respect for family. He carried out an excellent funeral service. I don't wish to use this in the same way as say 'trip advisor' but I wish to help anyone who has a very difficult decision as to the way forward in a very sensitive mind field of processes that are not familiar. I found this company able to solve all of the problems that are mentioned above. Just a big thank you and I hope this helps others in their difficulties and that this comment is really posted in the hope that it will help other people" -

"Overall Andrew Phillips Funeral Services made a very difficult time a lot easier by providing such a caring and sensitive service"
I cannot recommend Andrew Phillips Funeral Services highly enough for there caring and professional service. The attention to detail is second to none from listening to your requirements, offering advice when needed, and keeping you informed of proceedings on an almost daily basis nothing is to much trouble.
The eulogy written for my mother was exceptional and people are still talking about it now, it was also read by Andrew Phillips at the service and was done in a most professional and appropriate way. Overall Andrew Phillips Funeral Services made a very difficult time a lot easier by providing such a caring and sensitive service.

"How fortunate to walk in the direction of Andrew Phillips Funeral Services"
Thank you Andrew
How fortunate to walk in the direction of Andrew Phillips Funeral Services shortly after my husband passed away. From an initial brief chat with Hayley to a visit at home from Andrew, my family and I were put at ease to know that the way we wanted to say goodbye to Jon was possible. We found Andrew caring, sensitive and helpful, the service was just beautiful and we were able to remember Jon the way we wanted. Thank you Andrew for being there for us.

"We were very impressed by your discrete and unobtrusive approach "
Thank you once again for all your help before and during the funeral of my mother. We were very impressed by your discrete and unobtrusive approach and the way you offered help at each stage. Anne Matthews, the celebrant, designed and delivered a moving service in accordance with our wishes.
Finally we would not hesitate to recommend your company to others.

"Their kindness and support in sorting everything for me was wonderful"
Losing my Mum was the worst thing that has ever happened to me but Andrew picked me up and gently guided me through the painful business of planning her funeral. Their kindness and support in sorting everything for me was wonderful. Mum's funeral was beautiful, her gorgeous cardboard coffin covered with pictures of bluebells was echoed in their lovely design for the order of service. The lovely kind and caring Anne Matthew was a wonderful choice as celebrant as she spoke so movingly about Mum as if she had known her. People said it was the loveliest funeral they had ever been to so my heartfelt thanks to you Andrew x

"Andrew really made the whole process as simple and painless"
I Cannot speak highly enough of Andrew's professionalism and understanding. From the moment he answered the phone he understood my wishes and did not foist any "funeral plans" onto me which many other funeral firms tried to do. He was flexible and offered advice when I needed it and between us my Mother had the funeral she had requested. Andrew really made the whole process as simple and painless as was possible. Would definitely very highly recommend Andrew Phillips Funeral Services.

"We cannot recommend Andrew, and their team highly enough"
It was good fortune that we chose Andrew Phillips to deal with the arrangements for my father's funeral. My mother, sister and I felt that we would hopefully get a more personal and caring service from an independent company so we googled who was available in the area. How fortunate we were!
We cannot recommend Andrew, and their team highly enough.

"The first thing that impressed me about Andrew on initial contact"
"Friendly, Compassionate, Sensitive"
The first thing that impressed me about Andrew on initial contact was his flexibility of approach to our situation compared to the other local funeral firms, stating that family wishes and needs were uppermost over the constraints of the local infrastructure.
This helped us to choose the firm to help to say goodbye to Mum and throughout we found that Andrew at all times was friendly, compassionate, sensitive and professional in all matters of the arrangements.
His planning of the funeral was meticulous, which was executed in a very dignified manner with Andrew himself very much involved in the proceedings.
It was of great comfort to me, my father and family that Mum's funeral arrangements were looked after by Andrew in such a personal way throughout.
Thank you Andrew for looking after us and Mum so well and I would surely recommend your excellent services anytime.

"Impressed by his professionalism"
We had no prior recommendation but are really pleased that we chose to use Andrew Phillips service. Firstly we were delighted that Andrew was able to visit Mum's home to discuss the funeral arrangements and luckily for us was able to be with us within half and hour of our initial phone call. From the moment we met Andrew we were impressed by his professionalism and kindness and genuine wish to support us through this difficult time. Although professional at all times he had a very friendly and approachable manner and nothing was too much trouble. He was supportive and sympathetic throughout the process. His experience was invaluable having not had to arrange such occasion previously. He was very willing to accommodate little details to the day that were important to us. The florist he used was excellent. He worked hard to ensure the arrangements for the cremation, service of thanksgiving and reception afterwards went very smoothly. My mother, sister and myself would certainly be only too pleased to recommend his services to you. Thank you once again Andrew.

"I highly recommend Andrew and his team as outstanding Funeral Directors"
"I could not have made a better choice."
"I could not have made a better choice."
I initially contacted Andrew Phillips simply because his was the only advert in a booklet I had been handed that specifically mentioned green burials. However, I do not think I could have made a better choice. With the sympathetic but efficient help of Andrew and his team I was able to give my husband exactly the type of funeral I had in mind and that I think he would have approved of.
