"Going into arranging our Mum's funeral was not going to be easy, but Bexhill Funeral Service staff were absolutely excellent from beginning to end and made the whole process much easier for us as a grieving family. They were so kind, so professional and very caring and respectful too."
— Sue Carfrae
"They surpassed all my expectations with the funeral announcement and service programmes. On the actual day they were amazing and I was thrilled to receive the complimentary folder and picture of my mum in a great frame."
— Sue Tilley
"Must mention Carol who was amazing when we met with her. Explained everything and always available if we had a question. The celebrant Louise was also amazing and wrote a beautiful tribute. On the day of the funeral it was the same — Tom was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for any more."
— Juliette Lushey (about Carol)
"What wonderful care and service we received from Carol and all the team. We felt in safe hands from day one and were hugely appreciative of their reassuring communication throughout. It made, what is a very difficult time, as stress-free as possible."
— Fran Everist (about Carol)
"I would just like to say a huge thank you to Carol. We lost our Mum in very difficult circumstances just before Christmas and she was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout."
— Trish Mitchell (about Carol)
"I cannot rate highly enough the professionalism, compassion and love with which Carol handled the arrangements for my mum's cremation. In the most difficult of times she guided my sister and I through every step of the journey and I really can't thank her enough."
— Tom Malcolm (about Carol)
