Chris at Staplefords was first rate. He was empathetic and caring throughout. On the day of the service the team were professional and the driver of the family car was perfect. Thank you all

I don’t really know where to start Staplefords in Portsmouth were the Funeral Directors we chose for Mums funeral & service in October 2026. My initial appointment was with Michelle & she was with me every appointment, leading the funeral procession & at the service, she was with me when I visited mum in the chapel & when I collected her ashes , the personal touches & the care & attention that went into making Mums final
Journey some thing I wanted to make Mum proud, & we did. I can’t recommend Staplefords enough the admin staff, the limo drivers & pallbearers the whole team were just lovely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
