Max and team looked after us with our Mum's funeral. Very professional and caring service provided throughout. He walked us through every step, putting us in contact with all the necessary people to make this difficult time as easy as possible for us. The florist provided a beautiful display of flowers, and the celebrant, Helen, gave a wonderful eulogy in honor of our Mum. Thanks so much to all.

The care and attention for detail was every thing we needed nothing was to much trouble . The organisation was massively helped by Max he know when we needed to cry but also when we could laugh in our difficult time of planning my husband's funeral. Max made us feel so much at ease talked us through every thing and was always there at the end of the phone if needed and still is if we need him now . I can't praise the staff enough if I had to give stars out of 10 I'd give 100 . Keep up the excellent work we will forever be grateful for your help xx

When my Wife passed away at home aged 53 i contacted Ernest Brigham and they explained what would happen next and collected my wife and they were so polite and professional and treated my wife with such dignity almost as if she was one of their own. Myself, our 4 sons and our daughter met Max at his office and i had no clue what i needed to do and who i needed to contact and Max walked us through everything step by step, we cried and we laughed a little at fond memories and Max was right there with us and he knew exactly when to be serious and when to relax the mood a little. Me and my wife are both from large families and so my wife had many visitors while she was with Max and his work family and they were so accommodating and Amy B made it possible for me to see my wife on the morning of the funeral as it was something i personally needed to do.. I owe everyone at Ernest Brigham a massive Thank You, Max put me in touch with someone for the flowers and with Gina who did a fantastic service and it all went smoothly and could not have been any better but above all for the way they looked after my wife with Dignity, Respect, Love and care.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart..
If you are reading this you have already found the right people to look after your loved ones.

R.I.P Yvonne my love and thank you for 38 wonderful years.

P.s. If you want a smile from Max ask him whats the difference between £1 and £20, it will tickle him and hopefully help lighten your mood a little at your darkest time.. Peace to all

We recently lost my mum, there was no other funeral director in the picture, Brighams is truly the best, they were amazing with my dad’s funeral so they were our first and only choice, no one else would do.
Anthony led arrangements for my mum, and he was fantastic, the support we received as a family were simply 5 star, nothing was too much trouble and we were happy knowing that whilst in his care along with the team, our mum was cared for with dignity and respect.
Truly amazing and made such a difficult time better to cope with.

Having a funeral plan through Dignity made everything so much easier. The staff at Ernest Brigham were absolutely amazing (especially Anthony). Everything was explained to me sympathetically and with utter care, and I was guided through every stage. I met the celebrant, viewed my Dad and felt really involved, and totally supported. The day of the funeral went exactly as planned, and Howie was given a lovely send off.
Response from Ernest Brigham and F. Kneeshaw & Sons Funeral Directors
I am happy that the pre-paid funeral plan made it easier to arrange the service for your Father. It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference. The team will be very pleased to hear that their care and support made a difference to your family.

I cannot recommend enough Ernest Brigham& F Kneeshaw & Sons Funeral Directors - Dignity with Distinction - these words say it all. Everyone - and in particular Vicky & Leslie- was so professional, sensitive, respectful & caring which made a very distressing time so much easier to come through. Every kind of arrangement was thoughtfully offered & helpfully organised , from flowers to order of service booklets, Chapel of Rest arrangements & nothing was too much trouble. Aftercare & grief management was sensitively & respectfully offered including a gift of a beautiful Remembrance Book which will be treasured so much by our family.Many many thanks.
