From start to finish, I felt in safe hands and none of my questions were deemed trivial. I was kindly lead through the arrangement and decision process by Margaret. On the day, the funeral director put me at ease and swiftly dealt with the only glitch, which meant everything went smoothly. My family and I cannot praise enough the care and consideration that we received from Chappell's, making the day a celebration of our Mother.

We could not have asked any more from Francis Chappell & Sons in the way they helped us deal with our bereavement. From the moment we made contact and to the funeral itself our needs/requests were dealt with compassionately and professionally, which obviously made the day of the funeral less stressful for us. A special thanks to Margaret, who made sure we were cared for throughout, and to Alan and his colleagues on the day. Would definitely recommend their services.

The service that I received from both Les and Margaret was absolutely fantastic, and helped to make an extremely difficult situation a little easier. Les even went to a printers to collect the Order of Service books for me as time was running out. This is the second time that I have dealt with Margaret and she has been marvellous on both occasions. Thank you very much for your help in my recent bereavements.

I cannot thank Francis Chappell enough for all their help and support throughout a recent double bereavement. Margaret managed both funerals form start to finish, not only efficiently, but with great sympathy and understanding. I was updated on progress on a regular basis and always with great care and consideration.
On the day of the joint funerals Lee and the team of undertakers were absolutely superb. It was all conducted with total dignity and respect and they took such good care and attention to ensure that all went smoothly on the day. Lee explained everything very carefully and with great kindness.
A truly exceptional service which helped enormously on such a sad day. I am really so very grateful for everything

Francis Chappell were great from the start,
My thanks comes from the heart.
We couldn’t have the send off that mum wanted,
Which left us feeling a bit daunted.
But Francis Chappell took us under their wing,
And arranged everything.
Nothing was too much trouble,
For our little bubble,
So that we could say,
Goodbye to Mum in the best way.
They were professional and smart,
Purchasing red ties to look the part.
They were fabulous from beginning to the end,
And they are a company we would certainly recommend.

We dealt mostly with Margaret, we felt at ease and very comfortable when making the arrangements, she was always available to contact if we needed a question answered. On day of funeral the director, I think his name was Scott?, was very professional, everything went perfectly. I would also like to praise the celebrant Robin Desmond, he also made a difficult day much easier. All in all an excellent professional service from all involved, David Kenward

Margaret was so sensitive and understanding to all of our family's needs during such a difficult time, she guided us through what can sometimes be a confusing process with ease and grace. Christine's service was absolutely beautiful, we were so proud of how Francis Chappell had facilitated our wishes so that her day could be a celebration. All of the drivers, and particularly the director who walked in front of the procession were so incredibly respectful and proud of their work - they held our family and friends in such a way that we felt supported and comfortable. Every step of our dear Christine's service was beautiful thanks to Francis Chappell & Sons.

Hello Margaret,

On behave of our family; I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your kindness in helping with the funeral arrangements of my late sister (Linda Roden). Your caring and understanding was much appreciated at such a difficult time, not forgetting the prompt exchange of emails.

The day of the funeral felt more of a celebration of Linda, with the attention to every detail that was spoken about when your director (Lee) stopped all the traffic outside the shop where my sister used, to say her final farewell.
We couldn’t have asked for any more, it’s always a difficult time but the caring and professionalism of the whole team is a credit to you all.
Response from Francis Chappell & Sons Funeral Directors
Thank you for your lovely review. We always appreciate it when families share their experience. I am glad that you confided in our team to take care of your loved one.
