Nick, Rob and Hannah are absolutely fantastic, they have dealt with sorting a prepaid funeral plan (very easy!) moving a family member, funerals, cremation burial. Getting headstones moved and letters added. All with kindness and professionalism! Nothing is too much trouble for them and they welcome you in with open arms. Even down to helping you reverse out into the road! A horrible time was made much easier because of them. Thank you all! They treat you like family whilst your loved one is in their care, we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you all x Kathleen and family.

We cannot thank the staff enough. Having lost our Dad very suddenly, we were at a complete loss with regard to what we had to do next. Liz was the first person we spoke to and she gave so much information and was so approachable and empathetic. We opted for Goodwins based on their Google reviews - sometimes a risky thing to do, but they were utterly amazing. It made the unenviable task of organising dad's send off so much easier. We would not hesitate to recommend them. If you find yourself in the position of having not had to organise a funeral before you absolutely should choose Goodwins. Thank you to the entire team.

Goodwins did a wonderful job looking after my late father and organising the funeral. Rob, Hannah and Liz showed great kindness and compassion, and made the process very straightforward and stress-free. They explained everything simply and were always very quick to respond to any questions. They have a very personal touch. We were very grateful and would not hesitate to recommend them to other families in their time of need.

I can’t thank Rob, Liz, and the entire team at Goodwins Funeral Directors enough for the exceptional care and support they provided when my dear mother passed away at the age of 92. She lived a truly great life, full of love and wonderful memories, and though her passing was inevitable, it was still a painful time for us all. As someone arranging a funeral for the first time, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain, but Rob and his wife Liz were incredibly kind, patient, and professional from the very start. They guided me through every single step with genuine compassion, explaining everything clearly and never making me feel rushed. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attention to detail ensured everything was handled with the utmost dignity and respect. I also want to give a special mention to Hanna, who was absolutely lovely—her warmth and thoughtful support made such a difference during those difficult days. Goodwins truly went above and beyond, turning what could have been a distressing process into one filled with reassurance and care. Their outstanding service made a huge impact on our family, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a compassionate, professional funeral director. Businesses like this deserve every bit of recognition for the incredible work they do. Thank you, Rob, Liz, Hanna, and the team—you truly helped us honour Mum beautifully. — Paul Cox

I can’t thank Rob and the team at Goodwins Funeral Directors enough for the care and support they gave us during such a difficult time. They were absolutely fantastic with my mum’s funeral and guided me through every step with kindness, patience, and professionalism. Having never had to arrange a funeral before, I found the process daunting, but nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was explained clearly and compassionately. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a huge difference, and I felt completely supported throughout. I would highly recommend Goodwins to anyone needing a caring and understanding service.

met with Hannah and from the moment you walk in you are at ease. Hannah and Nick listened very carefully to what you want and then they put it into real life and being able to send my loved one on her way in exactly they was she loved her life was the most magical moment. They show such compassion and they have made a hard time a real celebration of someone we loved.
