"Having known Chris for many years, including the care shown when arranging our father's funeral, it meant a great deal to have that familiarity and trust at such a difficult time. The dignity and peace with which our mother was brought to the crematorium was truly beautiful."
— sophie callaghan (about Chris)
"Becky was empathetic, gentle and kind while remaining highly professional and displaying great attention to detail. Saying goodbye to a loved one is never going to be easy — but Becky and her colleagues made the process more smooth and painless than I could have imagined."
— Mark Southgate (about Becky)
"His death was a complete surprise and I was in total shock, but Chris and Richard individually were calm and gently guided me and the family in making our decisions. The day went without a hitch and the team carried out their duties with quiet confidence."
— Lindsey Whalley (about Richard)
"Becky Perry went above and beyond to ensure that Nor's service was unique to her. Nothing was too much trouble. The recent passing of my Soul Mate, although expected, was incredibly hard to deal with — but the respect, dignity and handling of the service was second to none."
— Sandra James (about Becky Perry)
"My mother arrived in my brother's Land Rover. My mother's grandchildren carried her coffin and Chris White and Alan were very helpful at teaching them how to do it and supporting them. They even made sure we got mum's wedding ring back which I had forgotten to take off. Everything was perfect and it was a wonderful day to say goodbye to a wonderful woman."
— Kate Milne (about Chris White)
"It was like having a long time friend give us a big hug. Sophie gently explained how my brother's cremation and internment would take place, she even came to the cremation and was so caring and gentle and clear. She answered all our questions and made us large cups of tea!"
— Maggie Boepple (about Sophie)

On behalf of my sisters and I, I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the exceptional care and support you provided following the loss of our mother. Having known Chris for many years, including the care shown when arranging our father’s funeral, it meant a great deal to have that familiarity and trust at such a difficult time. From the very beginning, your guidance was thoughtful, calm and compassionate helping us navigate what felt like a very overwhelming and emotional period. Your attention to detail, professionalism and kindness were outstanding throughout. Every request was handled with care, and we always felt supported and reassured. The dignity and peace with which our mother was brought to the crematorium, and the way everything was conducted, was truly beautiful. Thank you for your impeccable service, your compassion, and for being there for us when we needed it most.

Lost my Mum at the end of last year. Chatting about it to a friend and she highly recommended Chris Whites. Mum was buried on the 14th January with a beautiful service. I could not fault the professionalism of the team - indeed their professionalism more than made up for my incompetence. I cannot recommend Chris Whites enough. Many thanks to Richard and his team.

Chris came to the house,talked us through the whole process and guided us to help make our dissions. The whole team was very professional and compassionate and helpful. They made the process more bearable. On the day the team was there to meet us and talk us through what and when things were happening. It definitely made the process of organising dads funeral easier and less stressful.

The service provided by the team, particularly Richard Gault who we had the most contact with, was extremely efficient and compassionate at all times. The officiant we were introduced to was very professional and the funeral was a fitting tribute to my mother. The family really appreciated all that the team at Chris White Funeral Directors did to make things run smoothly at this difficult time.
