Reviews for Hemley Funeral Services

Rated 4.89 / 5 based on 28 reviews.

Mum had been moved from Hampshire where she had worked out all the arrangements for her funeral. So I had to find another funeral directors who provided Dignity pre paid Funerals. Hemley were the closest to the care home where she passed.

A little trouble finding the address at a busy time of day was the first and last issue I had with the arrangements.

I found Kay kind and efficient, able to guide me in the details without imposing on me. All the arrangements were trouble free, which was a huge relief as I was managing everything alone.

There were some small issues getting a date and time for the service, that would suit the family and the vicar and the availability of cars. There had to be some compromises to avoid the service being delayed into mid June ( largely due to family availability) but by arranging a live stream, family in America, Sicily and South Africa as well as friends and family had the chance to view the funeral.

I am very grateful for all the pressure taken off my shoulders and for the kindness of all the staff.

I can honestly say the service we received was absolutely lovely, from the moment the ambulance came and collected dad through to taking us to the wake the service was extremely professional, kind and caring, nothing was too much trouble and dad was treated with the utmost respect at all times, we are very happy with the service provided and grateful to dad for choosing Hemleys.
