Christopher Stringer Funeral Directors

A heartfelt thank you to Christopher Stringer and the entire team for their patience, understanding, and gentle support throughout such a difficult time. Their presence was always there in a measured and understated way, quietly guiding and supporting us while remaining continually mindful of our family's grief. The kindness, compassion, and consideration shown throughout were evident at every stage and provided great comfort to us all. On behalf of our entire family, and especially from my brother's heart and soul, thank you for helping us give him the farewell he deserved.

From the first phone call to arrange a meeting with Chris to the actual funeral day, Chris and his team were absolutely brilliant. Carol initially talked through the order of things and sent through a really helpful checklist confirming what we had discussed and what I needed to think about. When we met Chris to discuss dates and further arrangements, he was kind and informative. By the time we left everything was in place. Paul, our celebrant was very helpful preparing the order of service and was very professional. A courtesy call on the day of the funeral was a nice touch to ensure we were ok. Everything went well, I would recommend Chris Stringer and his team without hesitation, they are fantastic.

Chris and his team, along with Carol and Mia provided an impeccable service, one of which that is rarely seen these days. From my initial phone call to have Dad received into their care, right through to the aftercare following the funeral service, their professionalism and compassion was absolutely immaculate. Having lost our Dad just before Christmas, this made the time of year particularly difficult, but Chris, Carol and Mia were only a phone call away to provide accurate advice and guidance at every step. Their attention to detail exceeded any expectation we thought possible, and any requests or queries we had were dealt with in the most friendly and caring manner. We've known Chris for many years, but this is the first time that I've needed to make funeral arrangements myself, for a loved one. Paul Stringer carried out the funeral service and again, comes highly recommended. He spent a significant amount of time with us to ensure that every detail and timing was perfect. On behalf of myself, and the family, we owe you all a debt of gratitude that can not easily be expressed. With sincere thanks to you all. Gareth

At all times we found Chris Stringer very professional and responsive. He was sympathetic to our needs and provided all the information which enabled my brother Vaughan’s funeral to proceed in a very positive way. He was particularly supportive when it came to the wording of the commital. The order of service was beautifully set out and he was able to source our music choices. I would rate the provision as being five star.

There was absolutely no question of using anyone else; Chris, Mia and all the team are the ultimate professionals in this field, and you couldn't be in safer hands. Chris knew both our parents personally and took care of our mother's funeral some 10 years ago, and we received the same high level of service for our father, who died in January 2026. Their service is personal, efficient, caring, sensitive, and respectful. Chris and the team took care of all the little details and arrangements and made helpful suggestions to ensure that our father's funeral went smoothly and without a hitch. So if you're looking for a sensitive, empathetic and professional service, look no further; I would recommend them without hesitation.
