Julie @ Beestons is just amazing. From organising the funeral to her help with all related matters - just perfect. It wasnt an easy time due to family difficulties but Julia managed to make the service go without a hitch and no family unpleasantness. I was so relieved when dad died that Beestons & Julie in particular were going to be handling everything - as they did with mum. It felt like "family".

An excellent service from Sarah and her team at Bitterne / Woolston.

She was very professional and enabled the whole process to run smoothly and without any problems. The family will be always very grateful.

We could not have been happier with the service Julie provided during the entire process of arranging my Mum's funeral. From the advice she gave us prior to it happening to the personal requirements we had for the funeral itself, we could not have asked for a better person. She understood and respected our requests during the arrangements and she could not have suggested a better minister for our needs. The entire process was respectful, caring and as stress-free as these things can be and that was all down to Julie. This includes looking after Mum's ashes for several months whilst we decided on her final resting place. We would definitely recommend her and feel the process would not have been the same without her.
