J & L Sturney Funeral Directors

Helen at L & J Sturney has been absolutely amazing. My Dad passed away earlier this year and I am very pleased that we chose L & J Sturney in Lyndhurst to arrange the funeral. Helen has been amazing every step of the way. She is compassionate, friendly, warm hearted and it clearly shows that she cares. Helen has been exceptional in fact and very importantly Helen made sure that every detail was tended to and clearly explained. When I wasn't sure which decision to take Helen found a way to gently talk me through the options until I'd figured it out for myself, this is a wonderful way to make sure everything was as my Dad would have wanted. As these matters go Helen and her team made sure everything went smoothly and I would certainly recommend Helen and her team.

Helen, you are a star and we could not have asked for more.

Thank you.

Our eldest Sister had passed away.

Helen showed great compassion and understanding. She was very sympathetic and very supportive.

Helen provided a superb funeral, the staff who attended the burial under the guidance of Helen and Sally were equally compassionate, sympathetic and supportive.

The celebrant Julia presented a wonderful farewell to our dear Sister.

Helen has a great understanding of grief and makes the difficult task of saying the final farewell so much easier.

We would like to thank Helen for the arrangements and all of the staff who attended the burial for a great job very well done.
Thank you.
David, Ruth and Ellie.

I have nothing but praise for Helen in Sturneys. She dealt with my partners funeral with compassion, kindness, empathy and professionalism. She guided me through every step of the way and made a very difficult time more bearable. Charlie, the minister she arranged was wonderful and conducted a very personal service. The florist she commissioned produced a beautiful spray for the coffin, just as I had envisaged it. Thank you Helen and your team for the care of my lovely Leo, both leading up to the funeral and on the day itself.

Helen at J & L Sturney in Lyndhurst was the perfect person to arrange the complicated joint interment/memorial of my Parents-in-Law, Betty and Bryan Summerfield.
Nothing was too much trouble for her and, with us being some 150 miles away, Helen made sure we arrived to find everything was perfectly in place.
Thank you very much Helen from Sue, Kim and all the Summerfield family.

My father died unexpectedly and I really had no experience in funeral homes and what to expect. I need not have worried though as Helen talked my Mum and I through the whole thing, explaining everything very clearly. Helen is friendly, compassionate, kind and very professional and made an awful time that little bit better. We were kept informed of what was happening every step of the way and the service was a wonderful celebration of my Dad's life. Thank you J & L Sturney you truly made a difference during such a difficult time.

Thank you very much. The experience of using J&L Sturney was perfect and we would highly recommend. Helen walked us through the process; she was always so kind and thoughtful. She made a difficult time less so. We felt we could ask any questions and Helen always replied promptly. Kerry and her team were amazing on the day of the funeral. Everyone said how lovely the service was and the organisation was smooth and thoughtful.

I would like to thank the team at J & L Sturney’s for their handling of all the arrangements following a recent bereavement. As an organization they were extremely professional, demonstrated respect and sensitivity during a difficult time.
I would especially like to thank Helen. Throughout the process, we benefited from her compassion, her guidance and very personal support to myself and the family. She demonstrated empathy perfectly blended with expertise, meticulous planning and detailed follow up which made the whole process as positive an experience as it could be under the circumstances.
I would recommend J &L Sturney without reservation.

Helen is an amazing woman who made the awful loss of my mother a much more pleasant and happy experience . She was able to advise our family on practically every aspect in the situation, and was always at the end of the phone when needed. So glad i chose Sturneys for my mothers final send off. Thank you Helen for everything. You are truly an incredible human being who instantly puts people at ease at a very sad and daunting time in their lives.
