— Pete Pozman (about Sara)
"She has made the whole process so much easier, even giving us access to the chapel of rest on the same day the paperwork was given to them, including collecting grandma from the hospital. They really care about your loved ones and you."
— Gaby Boffin (about Jane)
"She provided some thoughtful, observant and creative input into the funeral and I had complete trust in her abilities. My Aunt would have approved whole heartedly."
— Carole Kingsbury (about Georgina)
"Losing my dad has been the hardest time of my life, but Sara has made the whole ordeal somehow easier to cope with in a way I didn't think was possible.

Thank you, Sara, for looking after my dad with such dignity, and for looking after me and my family through a very difficult time. I won't forget the help you've given us."

Harpins have been superb in guiding us throughout the planning of my brother's funeral. Sara was a model of professionalism and at the same time friendly and sensitive. On the day everything went like clockwork and all the staff were discreet and kind. I never had a moment's anxiety about the arrangements. Thank you so much.

I want to give my sincere thanks and appreciation to Sara at Harpin’s Funeral Service. Losing my dad has been the hardest time of my life, but Sara has made the whole ordeal somehow easier to cope with in a way I didn’t think was possible. From the first phone call to the day of the funeral, she has been compassionate, patient, and incredibly supportive. She guided me through every step with kindness and professionalism, and nothing was ever too much trouble. In my line of work I deal with people every single day, and I can honestly say Sara is one of the best I’ve ever come across. She is perfect for the job she does, calm, caring, organised, and genuinely thoughtful. A massive thank you as well to the other girls who helped me when Sara was busy, I really do appreciate you all. Thank you, Sara, for looking after my dad with such dignity, and for looking after me and my family through a very difficult time. I won’t forget the help you’ve given us.

Faultless service from the first phonecall to the last email. Georgina was brilliant, organised, thorough, caring and considerate, and great attention to detail. She provided some thoughtful, observant and creative input into the funeral and I had complete trust in her abilities. Sara was brilliant on the day and after. My Aunt would have approved whole heartedly.

We received a highly professional service, which was also personal and sympathetic at the same time. Our mum would have been pleased her wishes were carried out with empathy and care.
