W F Groombridge Funeral Directors

Thank you to everyone at W F Groombridge for the wonderful service we received following the death of our mum. Everyone was highly professional, extremely sensitive and very understanding. They helped us with every step of the planning of the funeral and were absolutely excellent on the day. Special thanks to Josh who did such a great job of organising things and Melanie who was a rock to us as she directed things on the day. Everything was done with an air of dignity and respect.

Can honestly say that josh, Lorraine, melanie and their team made the worst time of our lives less stressful and as comforting as they possibly could. We felt like our mum was given the best care and respect and nothing we asked for seemed a problem. The team exceeded our expectations in everything and we truely thank them for all they did for us, the compassion, dignity and respect of not only our mum but us as a family. Couldn't recommend them enough.

The Morgan family were very impressed with the professional and warm manner in which Anita and her team handled our recent funeral arrangements.

We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend W F Groombridge Funeral Directors. The empathy shown, at this difficult time, was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone went the extra mile and we really appreciate the kindness and support we received.

For years we had put down the name of a funeral director on our mother’s care plan, but when it came to that time, it really, really mattered to us who would take care of the final stages, it had to be personal and as perfect as could be achieved. We did our research and went and talked to local funeral directors and when we met Anita, we knew WF Groombridge would be our choice and we were not disappointed. Anita had the perfect balance between empathy, being professional (which really helps get you through the process), listening to all the details that we wanted and leading us gently through this difficult time. Communication at all stages was clear and timely, just excellent. Recommendations for other services such as the celebrant, flowers etc all delivered to the same high standard. This all meant on the day we had no stress or worry and could just focus on celebrating the beautiful life of our loved one.

Anita and her team has made a difficult time more bearable by providing a supportive service with the funeral arrangements. Suggestions were made in a sensitive and genuinely friendly manner which helped me come to terms with how I wanted my husband to be sent-off. Chris, the funeral director, ensured that I was looked after on the day with small acts of kindness. It is difficult to choose the right company for such an important event. All I can say is that this team was was right for me and I felt they had my interest at heart.

Anita & her team at WF Groombridge arranged the funeral of my twin brother, Paul.
This was the saddest of times for the whole family & I was dreading making these arrangements and the day itself.
From the moment I met Anita she put me at ease & dealt with all the arrangements in a professional & caring manner. We received first class service from start to finish. Melonie, the funeral director, ensured the funeral ran exceptionally smoothly in these Covid times.
I can't thank them enough for all they did for Paul and the family. I can only highly recommend them to anyone who is going through what we have been through.

I am so thankful to Anita and her wonderful colleagues at WF Groombridge. Obviously if you’re looking at these reviews you are in a horrible situation and I’m so sorry. I lost my mother, who was my only immediate family member, and I was feeling very vulnerable and scared trying to plan the funeral. Anita was so kind and supportive and they made everything easy. They somehow managed to make this awful experience actually okay, they really couldn’t have done more for me. The funeral was beautiful and very well organised even in the middle of COVID. Everything went totally smoothly and there was nothing extra for me to worry about, I could just focus on getting through it and starting to grieve. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will always be grateful for their help.

With the restrictions of attendance due to Covid-19 we knew this funeral was going to be tough but Anita and Sally handled it perfectly and on the day the Director Lorraine and her bearers were perfect. Joan's funeral was handled with professionalism and care even though it was a very small event. Could not ask for more.
