Evelyn's Funerals

Amanda, her sister and all the team have been the most wonderful support since mum, Janie Thomson, died on 2 September.

A friend had recommended Amanda and she has made a difficult process so much easier and I will be eternally grateful for her kindness, empathy, professionalism, attention to every little detail, being constantly available whenever we needed. When she says you can ring any time, she really does mean it.

I felt total confidence in every arrangement Amanda made for us. She and her team were so discreetly supportive before, during and after the funeral.

I could not have wished for a more perfect person to “take us all under her wing”. Amanda, and the service she provides, are exceptional and I would think rather unique.

I will never forget, and will always be full of thanks, that you were the person to look after mum, and us, through this time.

I highly recommend Evelyn’s Funerals – totally professional, utmost care.

Having never had to deal with a funeral before, when we unexpectedly lost a family member we didn't really know which way to turn. I visited Evelyn's as they were local to us and quite literally from the moment I walked through the door right the way through to leaving the crematorium Amanda and her team have been genuinely outstanding. The support and service couldn't have been any better. Warmest thanks Amanda, Lucy and team

Thank you to Amanda and Lucie for looking after our dad so well and showing so much kindness and respect to him and all of us over the last few weeks. From our initial call right up to the funeral, nothing was too much trouble and all the arrangements were expertly looked after for us. Thank you so much for making such a sad occasion much more bearable for me and my brother.

From the first time we contacted Evelyn Funeral directors regarding the passing of our dad, we had the best service we could possibly ask for! Our well-being, as a family was priority. Their team of funeral specialists were there every step of the way and gave our dad the best ‘send off’ as possible! They were tentative and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble for them. They recommended our Celebrant, Aimee, who was excellent and our Florist, Steph who designed our flowers to better than we could wish for! I would highly recommend their services and would definitely use them if required in the future. Thank you so much for giving us the best service possible!

It would very hard to exaggerate the quality of the personal service received. From initial contact before the expected decease, sympathetic and dignified removal of the deceased from the house, straightforward presentation of options for the funeral, no attempt at selling “add ones” quite the contrary in fact, “do you really want or need” featured quite a lot. However, all “bells and whistles” there if you want them . Professional advice freely given from their experience. Introduction to local florist and printer for order of service - both small businesses at reasonable cost who provided excellent service and liaised with the undertaker to ensure a coordinated service.

Lots of contact in the run up to the funeral - nothing was too much trouble for Amanda and the team who are clearly well used to dealing with stressed individuals.

We used them on recommendation and were very pleased. The service provided was exactly what we needed and wanted.

A heartfelt thanks for your expert and sensitive handling of our Mothers' care and cremation earlier this year. Evelyn's Funerals' support and advice throughout the whole process and conduct during the service was dignified and gracious. I highly recommend this company.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from Amanda and her team. From my initial inquiry, which was dealt with in a most compassionate and professional way to our final meeting at the funeral itself, I felt that I was in safe hands. Amanda made it clear from the beginning that the arrangements could be completely tailored to my requirements, i.e. as simple or elaborate as I wanted. She went through all the costs that were involved and arranged for me to meet Fiona who I was very happy to have as the celebrant conducting the service. She also put me in touch with a florist and a lady who produced the order of service booklets, both of which did a lovely job.

At this bewildering and distressing time, we found everyone at Evelyn's Funerals professional, kind and compassionate. We were kept informed every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend Evelyn's Funerals and want to thank them for guiding us through this difficult time.
