As an Independent Funeral Celebrant, I work with a number of different Funeral Directors.

Whilst on first impressions, Hartley Foulds may not be as appealing as some of the newer, more up to date funeral homes, it's what you will find inside that makes Hartley Fould a real gem!

Steph, Elaine and Jeanine REALLY care about the work that they do, and when I go and speak to families they have often already spoken to one of them, and without fail they will say how lovely they have been.

I would highly recommend Hartley Foulds Funeral Directors to anyone.

I can't thank all the team at Hartley Foulds enough for the kindness, care and attention to detail they put in to making my dad's funeral a truly fitting and deeply personal occasion. They really took the time to listen to us and find out about the truly special person my dad was and helped us to create a special tribute to him. We are especially grateful for the care and attention Sarah gave my mum on the day of the funeral.
