Rated 5/5
I lost my baby in January 2026. Zoe was absolutely amazing as were her team for the conduction of the funeral. From the moment our family entered having used Hogbens previously until we picked up our baby's ashes we were treated exceptionally. We would not use anyone else for a funeral. I highly recommend if you want a professional personal service from start to finish. 🩷

I can't recommend G Hogben and Sons highly enough, Especially Zoe.
From making the very first phone call and all the way to the final time of saying goodbye. They have been amazing, caring, compassionate. Even the weeks after they called to check if we are ok. Thank you so much 💓

From the minute we walked in we was helped by Zoe I can’t highlight enough how kind Zoe is and helped us through every part of my Nan’s funeral. The service was fantastic and she is fantastic and kind lady. Thank you for making my Nan’s last day so special.
