Amazing service. Thank you to Zoe, Carl, Carinna & the team. Thank you so much for all your efforts and help with mum's funeral. Everything was perfect and went without a hitch. I have especially appreciated all the assistance from Zoe. I have genuinely felt looked after by a friend I had know for years. Nothing was ever too much trouble, no question a silly one. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others and using you again in the future should the need arise. Caring. Compassionate. Faultless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 💓
