— Penelope Hudson (about Jon Brady)

"It was a really lovely touch to have the memory box given to us after the service with the pictures of him she had printed and extra orders of service to keep. Both he and my whole family were treated with dignity and compassion throughout and I cannot recommend them highly enough."

— Kathryn Jamieson-Sinclair (about Rachel)

"Rachel helped our family say goodbye to my wife yesterday. Professional, understanding, sympathetic and helpful, she has guided us carefully and patiently from start to finish. Five stars is not enough, well done."

Our funeral director Anthony felt apart of the family as soon as he shook our hands. If you lose a loved one, there is no better caring set of people about D Hollowell & Sons to guide and support your family through a hard time."

The passing of our ‘dearly beloved Dad & Grandad’ sudden passing too , I wasn’t ready for dealing with this and I was very anxious , upset and worried. The moment I met Kyle (who took great care and consideration ) I felt at ease and I felt I could speak my heart and he honoured what we wanted . Not only honoured he listened and helped with suggestions and he was absolutely a god send for me at this time . He actually had similar hobbies of my dads and that made me connect with him . I felt no barriers and I knew that the service and my ‘Dad’ being looked after was in great care . Kyle showed mostly respect, empathy , consideration and an utmost respect for the role he takes on . Kyle is an absolute credit to Holliwells and my family have always used Holliwells (grandparents) and always spoke highly of their service . Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for making my dad’s last moments as treasured as can be . Much appreciated and most greatful Caroline , Tiahna & Mojo xx

Hollowells provided the exact service you would hope to get when your world is turned upside down by the death of a family member. From the moment we contacted them they were responsive, kind, professional and efficient. Andrew Beare was our funeral director and he was superb throughout the process. If you are concerned about arranging a funeral, leave it to these guys.

Rachel helped our family say goodbye to my wife yesterday. Professional, understanding, sympathetic and helpful, she has guided us carefully and patiently from start to finish. Hollowell's had many recommendations and we were not disappointed - thank you, also to John our humanist who led the service and the staff on the day. Five stars is not enough, well done.

After the sudden death of my Mum at the end of November I called Hollowells. From the first point of contact my brother and I received expert guidance through the whole process. Our funeral director Kyle helped us through every step of the way with kindness and empathy. When faced with choices that you never think you will have to make we were supported with the utmost respect and attention to detail. Mums funeral was perfect-this seems a strange word to use but it was. Many people commented on how respectful the proceedings were. Everything was explained clearly at all times, timings were adhered to and I cannot thank Kyle and Hollowells enough for your kindness at such a difficult time.
