Was there a will?

"Brain who is the owner took all our pressures and sadness away and organised everything as quickly as possible. I recommend everyone to choose Haven — you will be free of worry."
— Hellen Gebrekidan (about Brian)
"In what was a very difficult time, they made what could've been a quite stressful process very easy and were totally compassionate, accommodating and the attention to detail was exemplary. Micah was the main point of contact and she is a credit to the company."
— Vatche Cherchian (about Micah)
"Each time I thought of some detail she already had it in hand or knew the answer, and everything was sorted quickly and easily. And all done with real kindness. It was a great reassurance and relief to have Haven's expertise at this difficult time."
— Jane Kerr (about Micah)
"The saddest time of my life was made easier knowing that Haven had everything at hand from collecting my mother until her cremation. The whole process was effortless and I am truly grateful for everything that was done."
— Brandon Man (about Micah)
"Their ability to organise everything has allowed us the chance to focus on my mum and her farewell. You need that reassurance and trust that it will go smoothly and it really did. We thank them so much for helping us through the most difficult time."
— Emma Brown (about Micah)
"We chanced upon Haven on the way back from picking up death certificates... it was serendipity that our paths should cross. I would recommend Haven and in particular Paul to anybody who is in this awful place of having to arrange a funeral when your heart is breaking and your head is spinning. I felt we had been treated with so much respect and importantly the memory of my Dad's ceremony will remain as such a respectful and lovely tribute, not a thing was anything but perfectly orchestrated."
— Diana Terrones (about Paul)

Excellent service from start to finish with arranging my mothers funeral in April. Micah Andrews was very caring and had empathy. She is a credit to Haven but also not forgetting the other members of the team on the day very emphatic. Would 100% recommend Haven to take care of any funeral arrangements .

Haven funeral services at Acton recently organised my mother’s funeral. Micah was really helpful. Each time I thought of some detail she already had it in hand or knew the answer, and everything was sorted quickly and easily. And all done with real kindness. It was a great reassurance and relief to have Haven’s expertise at this difficult time.

We highly recommend Haven Funeral Services for their caring, efficient yet gentle approach to my mum's funeral. The whole process is so overwhelming and Micah and Paul made it as easy and stress free as possible. Their ability to organise everything has allowed us the chance to focus on my mum and her farewell. You need that reassurance and trust that it will go smoothly and it really did. We thank them so much for helping us through the most difficult time.

I can only say how professional and caring Haven are. We dealt with Micah, who was very helpful and took her time over every detail. Despite the sadness of the situation, it was always a pleasure to have someone like Micah to guide me through. Everything on the day of the funeral ran perfectly and Doug was equally kind and professional. I would highly recommend Haven in Acton.Thank you all so much.
