An extremely professional service which was taylored to suit our needs of a small funeral. Natalie helped us throughout, and during a difficult time she made everything stress free & personal. Natalie also put us in contact with a lovely celebrant lady, Collette, who provided a memorable service for Mum. Thank you.

Natalie, the funeral arranger at the Chichester branch was amazing, offering advice and support at such a difficult time for us, James and the rest of the guys were great on the day.

The staff at D&W went out of their way to provide a friendly and approachable service for my fathers funeral. It was my first time organising something like this and Natalie put my mind at rest by organising all the details whilst involving us in every decision throughout the process. On the day Gerald and his staff made sure he was there to support the family whilst not being intrusive at this sensitive time. The Celebrant that was provided gave an uplifting and full description of my father and his life.
Everyone commented on how smooth the whole process was from start to finish. Many thanks.

My whole family and our friends would join me in commending Dillistone & Wraights funeral services. From helpful staff in the office, through phone calls with arrangements about the cars down to the service on the day - all staff were respectful, caring, efficient, smart & friendly. They helped us turn a tough day into a splendid send-off for my lovely mother.

I used the Chichester branch of a Dillistone & Wraights and I cannot express enough how wonderful the two ladies where, supportive, caring and very sincere. They went above and beyond to ensure my mums funeral went well, they exceeded themselves and I cannot thank them enough for helping me through all the formalities at what was a very difficult time.
