I was recommended E Hooper & Son by someone who used you about 5 years ago. I was extremely impressed with everyone who I dealt with from the first meeting I had with J the funeral organiser right through to the funeral service where I liaised with M the Funeral Director for my Dad's funeral. Whatever question or concern I had at anytime you were always there to answer me. On the day of the funeral you conducted your part of the funeral proceedings with sensitivity and I felt that all was in the best of care through your arrangements. The order of service was excellently produced and I was pleased with the photo on the frame and the folder to place written or photographic memories of my Dad within. Also I must add how beautiful the floral tribute was which I took two photos of. Thank you all of you at E Hooper & Son for your professionalism and help.

I can not express enough just how awesome this company is. I know this might seem a bit strange when I say this but truthfully this was thee best funeral I have EVER seen and been to. It was very hard for me on the day and Karen New (my funeral director) was an absolute angel. From start to finish (even though Karen has told me I can call her anytime even though the funeral has taken place) Karen is thee most perfect person who bends over backwards to make sure the funeral is the best it can ever been and certainly makes sure it is personal to you and your loved one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND E Hooper & Sons to everyone. Karen and the team (who done my soul mates funeral) are thee most compassionate, professional, caring and friendly people I have ever met and Karen and her team are an absolute asset to your company.
Response from E Hooper & Son Funeral Directors
It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference. I am pleased that our team looked after you so well. Thank you for this positive recommendation, it is greatly appreciated.

With the restrictions that COVID has necessarily imposed this is not the easiest of times to arrange a funeral. Karen and the staff at E Hooper & Son made the process as painless as possible leading us through every step of the arrangements and ensuring that things went smoothly. Their suggestion of the celebrant that would best suit our wishes for the service proved ideal for what we wanted for my Mum. I would certainly, wholeheartedly, endorse E Hoopers to anybody wishing to engage a funeral director that would treat this important ceremony with the correct balance of dignity and respect while also providing all the support necessary to take as much stress out of what is undoubtedly, even under normal circumstances, a stressful and emotional time. Thank you Karen and Hoopers.

The staff were really caring and couldn’t do enough for us. Although mum died while COVID 19 was about they still kept me informed about all the details via phone and email.

All the staff who worked with us were sensitive , supportive and practical. I cannot fault how we were led through the planning at a time when we couldn't really think clearly. We could have second thoughts and change our mind, enabling us to get the order of service that really felt right for our Mum. On the day of the funeral we felt that it had gone as well as it could have done - and that gives peace of mind.
Thankyou
