As the one amongst my siblings nominated to take charge of the funeral arrangements for our Mother, I really appreciated the guidance from Rachel through every step of the way from even before taking Mother's remains into care. Every detail, most of which would create stress for an already grieving relative was discussed and taken care of such as ordering printing work, flowers, Funeral notice, charity donations, etc. There were even thoughtful little touches after the funeral when Jamie, who was Director on that occasion, came discreetly over to me with flowers, a framed copy of our mother's photo and other small tokens of remembrance now shared among my siblings. Mother's funeral was set up back in 2005 leaving us with a folder containing everything we needed to know and the minutest detail of what we needed to think about and act on from a legal and financial viewpoint. It has inspired us all to make similar arrangements as soon as practical for our own funerals so that our children will find an otherwise painful time made so much easier.

Yesterday’s funeral was flawless however I wanted to particularly mention the very dignified way in which the cortège team conducted the day.
Jamie was a credit to the company and made things much easier for us on such a hard day, nothing was rushed, everything was dignified and we felt we were in the very best of hands.
We noticed very gratefully Rachels own tribute, leaving the office and standing on the corner, bowing as we passed by.
It was so nice to have Paige there who saw us through from the very start of this process.
The flowers, picture and memory box were a very welcome addition.
We can’t thank you enough for your trusted professionalism and outstanding care.

I would just like to say a few words about your staff at Carrells in Havant…..
We first came to Carrells back in 2015 when my dad passed away and you did an amazing job. I was not as involved with this as my mum was still around. Carrells then arranged my aunts funeral and now on Friday 6th November sadly my mum’s funeral arrangements.
I came in to meet Rachael and Paige with my two brothers (this was eventful – because of one of them!) and could not have been made more welcome and put at ease by Rachael who was also training Paige at the time. I think we were her Guinea pigs! – not a great bunch to start her training with – but as she has told me she has seen and heard worse!
Their kindness and warmth shone through.
I have been dealing mainly with Paige and just wanted to let you know what an absolute asset to Carrells she is. She has been helpful, caring, understanding (with brother issues) and most of all just an absolute gem. Going above and beyond in being there for us as a family and just making the whole experience as stress free as she could. Having her there on the day with us as a family just made the day even better.
We also met Jamie on Friday and again what an absolute gent.
So really just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything, and to let you know that you have an absolutely amazing team at Havant Carrells – The Dream Team (as I have called them).
I also wanted to mention Lee Kewel as well – what an amazing lovely man who again has been involved in my dad’s, aunt’s and finally mums funeral.
The whole team are just amazing

My family and I could not be happier with the service we received from Carrells for my dear Nanna’s funeral. From the first phone call our contact put our minds at rest that we would receive the best quality and care and she did not disappoint! Great care was taken to ensure that we had the type of funeral that my Nanna would have wanted, which was a celebration of life rather than a formal affair. All queries were responded to in good time and we were reassured throughout the planning process. After our contact getting to understand what we wanted she assigned our Celebrant, who could not have been more perfect! Because of Covid I am aware that house visits to the family were not as commonplace, but she was determined to meet my 104-year-old grandad and husband of 78 years to ensure she got everything perfect on the day…. And she so did!! I had gathered some information and readings which were a bit disjointed and se had re-written to flow beautifully with all the content still there painting a beautiful picture of my Nanna’s vibrant and talented life. Our appointed Director on the day again was reassuring, caring and thoughtful. Thank you to the whole team in the background too that I dint get to meet. A stressful sad day made beautiful.

I could not fault the care and attention that was given to us by Jamie and Rachel. They were wonderful and a credit to your company. They listened to us and understood our feelings of sadness and helped with suggestions when we were unsure. The farewell to my husband Charles Earles was lovely especially in these times. Thank you to them. Jean Earles

No one ever wishes to be in this position where you need a funeral director, but unfortunately we have too. I have attended a lot of funerals especially within my job in a nursing home.
I haven’t come across a more professional, sympathetic,genuine and such friendly staff who treat you like they have personally known youand your sadly deceased love one.
Sadly for myself I have used this company twice - both for my husband’s and both times the service I have received has been outstanding .
The patience the staff had with myself and visiting family who came at weekends, nothing was too much trouble. staff (Rachel) went out of their way to accommodate our wishes.
The service was carried out to my exact wishes and all my details were taken down meticulously (Rachel and Rebecca)
So thank you for being genuine! And helping me to give a person centred send of for my husband.
