Mother had a funeral plan and Malcolm was wonderfully supportive in taking that plan forward. He was able to offer guidance on the types of service available, how music choices would be played and a wonderful celebrant. I felt nothing was too much trouble, even when I had to call and ask yet another question!
Emma was with us on the day and her kindness and compassion made a difficult time bearable.
Response from Solent Funeral Directors
Thank you for your review, I am happy that the pre-paid funeral plan made it easier to arrange the service for your Mother. 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.

Solent Funeral Directors we’re amazingly kind, efficient and professional. All communication was responded too quickly and questions answered in full. I cannot thank Malcolm and both Emma’s enough.

Every aspects of the cremation service ran smoothly, on time and showed great respect to my late father. The Celebrant, Fiona, gauged my father’s character and personality exactly, and ran the cremation beautifully. She made all the family feel welcome and cared for. Thank you Fiona for giving my late father a wonderful send off.

I would highly recommend Dignity funerals and Stoke Funeral Directors, Gosport.

From our very first meeting with Malcolm we were treated kindly and with understanding. The attention to detail was simply marvelous. Nothing was too much trouble. On the day if the funeral everything went exactly to plan. The procession was led by Emma, who, like Malcolm, was so kind. Thank you both for making a difficult day so much easier to cope with. You carry yourselves with Dignity at all times.

Emma and her team guided us through a very difficult time in our lives and went over and above our expectations to ensure we gave our Dad the service and care we wanted. I would highly recommend Solent Funeral Directors and have since purchased another Dignity plan for another family member based on the experience we received.

I was very, very impressed with Solent Funeral Directors.

After my Mum had died they were wonderful - especially Emma Smith who could not have been more caring, professional and reassuring at such an emotional and distressing time. Covid made everything more difficult of course, but Emma made sure that everything ran smoothly for Mum's funeral.

On the day Danny, the Celebrant, helped to make what was a lovely send-off for Mum.

I would recommend Solent unreservedly.

The member of staff who dealt with the funeral arrangements for me was both very helpful and sympathetic and guided me through the procedures with efficiency. The lady also promted me about areas which I hadn't thought about.
I would also like to say that, when I initially needed to contact the funeral directors, it was a great relief to find there was someone on the end of the telephone late into the evening.
