Barrow Bros and Tapper Funeral Service

My wife died at 52 after a battle with two terminal illnesses. I can barely put into word how grateful I am to Mrs Nina Dryer and the rest of the team at Barrow bros and Tapper funeral services for not only making Charlottes service a beautiful day but for the incredible treatment of my son and I during the whole process from organisation to the day itself. Mrs Dyers incredibly kind manner with my lad as he visited his mum in the chapel of rest was nothing short of incredible. Neil, the officiant at the service also made such an incredible job of memorialising my wife that all of those present were astonished at the accuracy of his kind words. These folk are consummate professionals with an incredibly light but utterly professional touch.

We were able to arrange a small funeral for my mother, with a few close family who could attend, and a few who were able to watch the service, either online or afterwards Everyone has commented how moving and fitting the service and arrangements were - a dignified tribute to, and warm celebration of, Mum's life Every aspect of the day was perfect and it was so helpful and inspiring being able to gather at one beautiful woodland setting for the service and the wake We send heartfelt thanks to all at Barrow Bros and Tapper, Ringwood branch and Harbour View crematorium, including: Nina, Harry, Jackie and Maddy for making the whole process very easy, thorough and dignified. We are also indebted to Reverend Geoff for leading us all in a warm and incisive appreciation of my mother's life Mum would definitely have approved of the whole proceedings!

I would like to thank Mrs Linda Turner and the whole team for their kindness, professionalism and expertise in managing my husband's funeral. Linda, literally & metaphorically, "held my hand" throughout and managed my shock and confusion quietly and with utmost consideration. She guided me through the various stages and the eventual ceremony and interment were exactly as I wished. Her team of bearers treated my husband with care and absolute respect and I am forever grateful to them for that. I highly recommend Barrow Bros & Tapper Funeral Service and can assure anyone seeking their services at a sad & difficult time that they will be treated with tenderness and compassion.

We are so grateful to Tappers for managing things so well and sensitively at such an emotional time. Our wishes were listened to and we felt supported. On the day everything was managed beautifully and was exactly as we wanted. Grateful thanks to Linda, Nina and the team.

Linda Turner and her associated staff at Tapper Funeral Service enabled me to give my mother a fitting and beautiful funeral and I am so grateful for her care and professionalism at every step of the way. From making my cousin and myself so welcome when we first came to the office in Ringwood to reassuring me in the final days before the funeral that everything was in order, I could not have asked for more. Linda made a daunting process so much more manageable and straightforward than I expected it to be. She ensured that my mother was safely collected from the hospital, allowed several late changes to the order of service booklet and always replied to my messages quickly. I would highly recommend Tappers Funeral Service who have assisted myself and my family so well through this difficult process.
