Excellent service from Butlers Funeral Directors - helped us all the way through the process at a sensitive and emotional time.
Thanks to Shirley and her Team
Response from R Butler & Sons Funeral Directors
We have been working hard to maintain our high standards of care in these challenging times and it's great to know that we succeeded in doing so.
Rating 5.0
The service we received was first class. Nothing was too much trouble for Shirley. She was compassionate, kind and extremely professional. She explained the process including the restrictions due to the pandemic, she ensured that we had everything we needed in a timely manner and really went the extra mile to ensure that my Auntie’s funeral was as good it as it could be even during lockdown. At a difficult time, it was very reassuring to know that we were being taken care of so well.
Response from R Butler & Sons Funeral Directors
Thank you so much for this lovely review which means all the more at this very challenging time. The team are working very hard to ensure that each family receives outstanding care and I am so glad their dedication has given you the service you needed.
Rating 4.0
The staff both on the phone and on the day were excellent nothing was too much trouble. We had a direct cremation for Mum and we could see her off from the undertakers which was very dignified, and we were grateful for that opportunity as during the pandemic a funeral was not possible for our family.

Our only disappointment was that we were not able to choose a different coffin without paying another £1500 for the package we had, bearing in mind with COVID restrictions we had no choice.

However Butlers were excellent perhaps Dignity need to rethink this in light of what is happening with the pandemic.
Response from R Butler & Sons Funeral Directors
Thank you for your 4* review. We are pleased that our staff were able to support you on the day and note your comment concerning the coffin choice and we thank you for your feedback on this point.

At our most traumatic and emotional time when we lost our dearest mum it was so reassuring to have Shirley to turn too. All our questions, needs and requests were taken care of in the most sympathetic and caring manner with no detail forgotten or overlooked. Shirley is a credit to her profession and the business and we shall be eternally grateful to her. The words within this review come nowhere close in explaining our heartfelt thanks to both Shirley and her team.

R Butler’s handling of the arrangements for both by parents this year was first class. Faultless. Shirley in the Hailsham office was responsive, sensitive and professional Her team of Ushers were the same. I cannot speak more highly of R Butler. They made a difficult time significantly less stressful and distressing.
