We have nothing but praise for this company and the people who work there. We were kept informed and updated at every step. We never once felt rushed when discussing details of the funeral or when we went for a viewing. They didn't try to upsell any products, we were given options and did not feel under pressure to spend more than our budget. They all do an amazing job under difficult and sad circumstances.

I received outstanding customer service from the out of hours and the Crowborough team. At such a difficult sad time they made everything much easier to deal with. I wrote to their senior managers to let them know how good their Crowborough team was.

At first I though it odd to review a funeral provider, but after I thought about it a little more, it seemed essential to tell people how good Paul Bysouth is, so that people know there is someone they can trust when they are at their most vulnerable.
My mother chose Paul Bysouth for my dad's burial in 2012, I don't know why, but it was a very good choice. They were so kind to my mum and our family and could not have been more thoughtful.
When my mother passed away in June it seemed an obvious choice to use Paul Bysouth again, and I'm glad I did. From day 1 Eliza was so incredibly helpful and considerate, that it felt like I could almost relax knowing I had the support I needed. Nothing was ever too much effort, her kind words, her responsiveness and the services they offer meant I knew I could find something my mother would have wanted. And not once did I ever feel like I had to chase for information, if it was important, I was informed proactively, without ever feeling pressured.
My family and I can't thank Eliza and her colleagues enough. I would recommend them to anyone.
