My husband’s funeral was 14th Aug. I can’t fault Hamilton and Marshall ( dignity funerals) Andy Warren was most attentive from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. Everything went so smoothly despite them moving funeral homes. He and his team were so caring and compassionate. They come highly recommended. Thank you again for taking good care of my husband Andrew.

I cannot praise Andy and the team at Newport enough for the exceptional, kind, and considerate care they provided for my dad. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They allowed me as much time as I wanted in the chapel of rest during my two visits. On my first visit, they thoughtfully left paper so I could write my dad a personal message, and when I returned for the second time, I found they had gently placed the note in his hand. They even asked for my dad’s favourite colour and changed their ties to match it, which was a beautiful personal touch.They did an amazing job arranging a partial military funeral, covering the coffin with a military coffin flag and beautifully incorporating my dad's own stable belt, hat, and medals, as well as coordinating a bugler. The orders of service were lovely, and we were given plenty of time to check them over beforehand. They also surprised us with two 8x10 photos of my dad’s main order of service picture, one of which was in a nice frame, which was such a wonderful gesture. The funeral went perfectly, and they truly ensured he had the dignified send-off he deserved.

We were very grateful to Andy and the team who supported us through the funeral. They helped us make the arrangements and fitted in with our schedule as we were not Island residents. The day itself went well and everyone particularly appreciated the photograph that was placed on the coffin at the crematorium
