Pat Coombes was very professional and willing to go the extra mile. She had done my father's funeral arrangements in December 2019 which had been everything my mother had wanted and more. So when my mom passed away in January, I requested Pat again. And again,she excelled. Her empathy, compassion, and professionalism were in the right balance.
Steph designated for the day as funeral director was very professional and everything we had discussed and confirmed beforehand was done on the day without any hitches.
Steph, Pat and their teams made my mom's funeral perfect. Thanks to both for everything.

My mother's funeral was on the 17th September 2020 the funeral director was the best, she supported us as a family from being to end, answered all our questions, even the questions that we felt were silly and never made us feel rushed or she did not have time. The service provided was excellent from beginning to end and very supportive throughout.

Mum organised as ever had a pre paid funeral policy with Francis chapel, I called after mum had passed and two gentlemen came to collect her, they checked with me before they began and once they had finished to make sure I was ready to let her go. Then pat called and I made arrangements to go and see her, she made everything so easy for me and gave lots if advise when I asked.
On the day the manager called me as I was nervous about the journey as there were a lot of road works, he re assured me that he had done the trip and it was running smoothly. Our driver and passenger we very curtious and kind, they never rushed us even after the ceremony the just waited patiently until we were ready to depart.
Would I recommend francis chapel? Absolutely!! My partner and I are going to purchase ours very soon.

Could not ask for more in the way of helpfulness, empathy and efficiently. Pat looked after me in way that helped me deal with loss of my much loved mother both in the organising before and after the funeral. The day went very well thanks to Gary for his great work on a difficult day for me.
I really cannot praise Francis Chappell & Sons and Dignity Funerals for the service I received, it was second to none. My mum bought a funeral plan many years ago and I thought this may had a effect on the service I received. It really did not, it was a wonderful day a good old fashioned day with much sadness but nothing but admiration and thanks for the people involved in giving my old mum the send we wanted and she would have enjoyed. Thanks again.
