— Teresa Hulm (about Ellie and Emma)
"I feel emotional every time I think about how much they both did for my family. Sarah went above and beyond booking all the extra funeral requirements and helped me give my Mum an amazing send off. They are absolutely amazing!"
— Joyce Connor Make Up (about Sarah and Emma)
"You gave us love and dignity. We felt Dad was looked after with so much respect and care. There was truly no stupid question, we were able to see Dad as often as we liked, and your team were so prompt answering questions, problem solving with us and keeping us informed at every step."
— Katherine White
"From start to finish the support of Ellie and E Sargeants was so good at such a dark time. She helped us navigate something we never wished to have to do for our son. Nothing was too much trouble for her to help with. She was so empathetic and professional. She made it as easy as possible for us."
— Moira (about Ellie)
"During the most difficult time of my life, the team at E Sargeant & Son provided care, dignity, and genuine compassion that I will never forget.

During a time when emotions are high the staff at E Sargeants were very helpful, considerate and very accommodating with my wishes. I would like to single out Ellie who organised the arrangements that were faultless on the day. Emma our celebrant was a great choice from Ellie and it was if they knew my late wife. Simon who was in charge on the day was also very helpful so I can’t leave him out. Thank you All Colin

My sister Sandra & I would highly recommend Sergeant & Son Funeral Directors. Vicki, Senior Funeral Arranger & Emma, Funeral Director, were so kind, helpful & supportive through the whole process with our mum’s funeral. We also had Emma Mansey as our celebrant and couldn’t have wished for a kinder, lovely lady, who gave such a beautiful service. The whole team were professional, compassionate & gave our mum a very dignified funeral.

In additional i would like to thank the pall bearers who were truly amazing, assisting both my daughters (who carried my sons coffin with the pall bearers)

From the start, I had regular dealings with Ellie Dunstall, Funeral Arranger (Slough). She was always warm, friendly and helpful whether talking face-to-face, via the phone or email. She was the true face of E Sargeant and Son, delivering first-class customer care and satisfaction. Other team members and participants were all equally as professional.

Faultless service. Ellie was amazing, fast, accurate and considerate. Stephen called me the day before the funeral so I had a full understanding of what would happen. He accommodated the special requests I had very well and all the team was briefed. Charlie drove impeccably and respectfully and showed us how to carry the coffin correctly. Outstanding from start to finish.
