The service we received from this company was exceptional. From the first phone call until after the funeral. The care and compassion that was used by all, will stay with me for a long time. You never felt rushed or forced in to anything. I would definitely recommend W H Scott.

From start to finish I cannot praise the team enough at the Barnes Hill branch. They were so kind and understanding, the whole process was explained including the complete breakdown of the cost. On the actual day the funeral director treated the family with care and respect, we were given everything we needed.

I would recommend W H Scott to anyone who needs help in this sad time.
Response from W H Scott & Son Funeral Directors
We are very proud of our team and the care they give and it means the world when we hear from the families that we have looked after. Your family continues to be in our thoughts and we are honoured to have been able to give you the service you needed.

My father who died recently had taken out a funeral plan many years ago. When he moved address his funeral plan was transferred to WH Scott & Son as this was local to where he lived. From the very first phone call with them I felt at ease. Myself and my sister went along to the office to confirm arrangements. We felt very Covid safe whilst at their offices. They were in touch with me on a regular basis to make sure I was ok and to advise me what they had arranged and what would happen next.
On the day of the cremation I knew exactly what the arrangements were and again the whole process was very Covid safe. Staff throughout this have been very attentive and supportive and made a very sad event more bearable.

The service provided by this company is second to none. Having dealt with other funeral providers over the past few years
the staff at this company are excellent. Not only do they guide you through the procedure but make helpful suggestions.
Nothing is too much for them to do for you. A special thank you must go to Yvonne for her patience and understanding. Mr Scott a true gentleman must be very proud of his staff and company.

In the planning stages, the immediate lead up to, and on the day of the Funeral the W H Scott team maintained their focus on the needs of the family and bereaved. They were extremely sympathetic and most supportive throughout the whole, difficult and emotionally demanding process. I cannot thank them enough for their help at such a difficult time. A credit to their profession.
