Rated 5/5
Abby and Gillian ensured we had as smooth a process as possible, particularly with the challenging circumstances we were in. They answered all our questions and kept in touch about progress as required. The service on the day ran smoothly and I was grateful for how they took care of Dad.

I can't speak highly enough of Wilton Funeral Directors. They recently buried my brother-in-law and from start to finish they were very professional. Stephen came to the house and Abbey kept in touch via telephone ensuring all the necessary paperwork and arrangements were in place. She was very helpful.
We had a funeral plan and due to circumstances it changed to Dignity. I had concerns before I spoke to Stephen which were unfounded and I was totally reassured by Stephen. All the men who dealt with us as a family were friendly yet professional and put us at our ease.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Received very good service from Wilton’s. Very professional, compassionate and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble whilst going through our bereavement. I would recommend Wilton’s.
