- Rating 4.06 April 2019Staff were always under pressure and we felt as if we were 'processed'. Although we were given a written estimate we were shocked at the total cost when we looked through it later time when we were less upset. We really cannot see how you can justify such a bill. The legal services were not required and I would have preferred to not have those but don't remember being given a choice. Woodman's has changed hands since I used them before and I will be looking to use the services of another undertaker in future, most likely local family run firm.Response on behalf of Woodman & Son Funeral Directors10 April 2019Thank you for your 4* rating and comments. We are sorry to hear of your concerns and have asked the Area Manager for Woodman & Son to investigate and report directly back to you. Dignity Legal Services is a free advisory service, which is offered for a period of 3 months from the date of the funeral and the call would have been to advise you of this free service and we are very sorry if you were inconvenienced by this. In the meantime, if you wish to contact the Client Relations department directly, their number is 0800 731 0655. Thank you once again for your review.
