Goodwins Funeral Directors

When my friend recently passed away and I was asked to organise the funeral in the UK for the family who all lived in France, I had literally no idea what I needed to do. I rang Goodwins Funeral Directors and spoke to a lovely lady called Liz who ran through everything with me fully so I understood the process. They took such good care of my friend and were so respectful from start to finish, arranging everything beautifully, which was not easy for a couple of reasons, not least that the family in France speak no English. Every little touch was perfect and the team did such an amazing job. Afterwards so many people came up to me and said what a lovely service it was and would have been just what my friend would have wanted. You can definitely tell that this is a much loved family ran business by the personal touches we had. Thank you to all of you at Goodwins, much appreciated. Suzanne

We used Goodwins recently and found the service and care they provided to be first class. Communication was excellent, they anticipated our needs and provided clear expert advice in all aspects of arranging the funeral. On the day of the funeral, the team that attended the church were extremely professional and supported us throughout the service, taking the lead when required and guiding us through every step. At such a difficult time, we were so glad to have been recommended Goodwins, who made everything so much easier to manage, a sincere thank you to Rob, Liz and the Team.

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.

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.
