What families say

"The funeral director, Brandon, and his team gave the highest standard of professional care, support and compassion. They ensured my husband was buried with dignity. Thank you very much for your kindness and guidance."

— Venice Allison (about Brandon)

"They even arranged an appointment over a bank holiday weekend prior to the funeral which was above and beyond. This was especially helpful as we live overseas and had no relatives in the UK."

— Adam F

Brendan was so kind and compassionate in dealing with my Mom's funeral arrangements and the actual service with Kingsley the funeral director was A1. They went over and beyond to fulfill my mother's wishes. This is a very good funeral service and I would recommend it very highly. Thanks to Brendan, Kingsley and all the pallbearers.

I cannot recommend Gillman's and Brendan Meade there highly enough. Gillman's provided a complete and consumate professional funeral service dealing with and attending to every possible aspect of all the necessary arrangements needing to be put in place following on the death of my mother-in-law. Friendly, helpful and totally supportive.

Brendan was so thoughtful and kind. His manner was so welcoming and really helped navigate a very sad time. On the day of my Dad's funeral, Darren Turk the funeral director was so lovely. Communicated every step of the way asking what we wanted and what we could do. Everyone who attended thought your guys were lovely.

Brendan and his team were incredibly supportive and caring during such a difficult time. They took away so much of the stress, allowing us to grieve without the worry of organising everything ourselves. As we had never been through this process before, Brendan guided us gently through every step, explaining our options with great empathy and understanding. We also worked with Hillary, our celebrant, who was wonderful. The service and blessings she delivered were deeply meaningful and truly “hit the spot” — it felt like the perfect send-off for our baby. A special mention as well to Darren, our funeral director, who was so compassionate and attentive. He made sure everything was done exactly as we wished, giving us the time and space we needed to say our final goodbyes in the best possible way. The warmth and care shown by the entire team made us feel truly looked after. We are so grateful and would highly recommend their services.

Brendan and his team at Gillmans Funeral Services were truly exceptional. From the very first moment we began planning my friend’s baby’s funeral, they showed the utmost professionalism, kindness, and compassion. Every step of the way, they treated the family & myself with deep dignity and respect, making an incredibly difficult time feel gently supported. Their caring nature was evident throughout the entire process — nothing was ever too much, and they approached every detail with sincere empathy and understanding. From start to finish, Brendan and his team provided comfort, guidance, and compassionate care that we will always be grateful for. Thank you so much. Charlene 😊
