What families say

"Bella was incredible; she approaches her role with a genuine care and compassion. I cannot think of any way in which they could have been more accommodating and understanding of our needs in an extremely difficult time."

— J (about Bella)

"This allowed us to make a very heartfelt goodbye for our mother that captured her personality, all the while allowing us to feel supported throughout the whole process."

— Adam Jameson

"No request was too small or too much of a bother, even opening earlier than usual to allow for viewings."

— Suzanne Lai (about Dani)

"He came to meet me the day before and talked through any needs. He also reminded me to pack snacks for my young children as the funeral was around lunchtime. He was absolutely brilliant on the day, really helping them to be at ease."

— Samantha Turner

From the initial meeting through the preparations, the day of the funeral and beyond, Godfrey and Gillman were very professional, while also being kind and approachable. We felt safe in their hands. They made the whole process feel as smooth as possible and accommodated any personal requests we needed. This allowed us to make a very heartfelt goodbye for our mother that captured her personality, all the while allowing us to feel supported throughout the whole process.

We had outstanding service from Gillman Balham at a time of sadness for our late mum’s funeral. From the first meeting with Dani, we felt that she was professional, easy to talk to and guided us through all the options. She was patient, responding to emails on the same day. No request was too small or too much of a bother, even opening earlier than usual to allow for viewings. Billy, the funeral director, and his staff were very respectful and answered all the questions we had on how the plans for the day. A big thank you to Dani and the team for making all arrangements with the day going as smoothly as planned. It was a fitting and respectful send-off for our mum. I would highly recommend the Balham Gillman branch - they will exceed all expectations.

From the point of first contact Dani, Darren and all the staff were respectful, caring and extremely helpful throughout a difficult process. Their guiding and professionalism is excellent. I would highly recommend their services if, sadly, you are ever in need.

Ellen looked after me and my family. She is a credit to your team, really thoughtful. I was very comfortable talking to her. She kept me fully informed and took extra steps to add personal touches when she knew lilac was my mums favourite colour.
