Rating 4.9
based on 16 Reviews- Rating 5.09 October 2019Planning a funeral can be so traumatic but we felt in tune with Cliff and his team at S and R Child’s straight away.
Cliff seemed to understand the style of event we had in mind and helped us to achieve our goals. He suggested the ideal lady to conduct the ceremony and helped so much with sourcing the music, which was of great importance to us.
I would not hesitate in recommending S and R Childs to the highest degree

- Rating 4.019 June 2019All staff over the phone and in person were friendly and professional. They made me feel at ease and answered my numerous questions that came up or they got back to me with answers if they didn't know.
Also they were very helpful at keeping me informed and negotiating with the Coroner and GP etc.
Even if the named director was not available a message was taken and they always made an effort to get back to me. I appreciate the effort they made in the run up to the funeral and they were helpful on the day.
I have had no contact since the funeral I think that might have been nice just to check everything was ok the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.Response on behalf of S. & R.

- Rating 5.028 November 2018Excellent service, kindness and compassion shown throughout. At a time when you are in shock and very upset, it was wonderful to receive such support. Cliff was a real tower of strength. He gave us superb service, and was so kind and understanding. He made everything seamless He reassured us that he would take care of everything - and he did. He was supportive, helpful and very patient. He dealt with everything superbly, and ensured that all our dear friend's wishes were fulfilled. Nothing phased him, and he sorted everything out perfectly. He gave us brilliant customer service, and dealt with everything expediently and professionally - a tough thing to do at a time when his customers are bereaved and so upset. He liaised with the church and crematorium for us. He has a lovely nature, a great manner, and an ability to make everyone feel special. Cliff treats people with respect and dignity, and makes time for them. We cannot thank him enough, and recommend your company wholeheartedly.Response on behalf of S. & R.
