"I would have been lost without the guidance and kindness of Lisa in setting out what was necessary. Oliver led a highly respectful goodbye to her."
— Katrina Ashton (about Lisa)
"Every detail was thoughtfully and sensitively addressed and looked after, which meant that on the day of the funeral we were able to say our own goodbye to our Mum, knowing that everything was taken care of."
— Suzy Claridge
"When we first met with her we had little idea of what to expect or what we wanted but she listened to us and made suggestions without any pressure. On the day, things couldn't have gone better. Lee and his team were so kind and gave my mum such a respectful and dignified burial."
— Amanda (about Lisa)
"We were all dreading the process of arranging dads funeral but as soon as I made the call to Holmes & Family in Fleet and spoke to Sarah I knew that they were the right choice. Sarah was so warm and understood exactly what we wanted and made sure the process was calm, and painless."
— Di Ricketts (about Sarah)
"They went above and beyond to help me and my family give my wife Sharon the funeral she deserved. Lisa was incredible in the preparations of Sharon's funeral. My family are so grateful for their help and attention to detail in the organisation of my wife's parting."
— Kevin Roberts (about Lisa)
"She was compassionate, calm and so supportive, and she went above and beyond to help us arrange my Dad's funeral with only two days' notice. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She guided us gently through every step, answered every question and made sure we felt cared for throughout."
— Louise (about Michelle)

I chose Holmes as two of my friends had used their services for their close relatives. And the fact they are a proper family business. I have a great deal of respect for Oliver and felt trust that anyone he trusted would be great. Michelle was so very kind and helpful, very efficient at a difficult time. Lee and the team on the day struck the perfect balance between personable, professional and respectful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Holmes and Family to others in their time of need.

Holmes and Family made a distressing time much more manageable with their sensitive and efficient processing of my mum’s funereal arrangements. Oliver led a highly respectful goodbye to her. I would have been lost without the guidance and kindness of Lisa in setting out what was necessary.

The team at Holmes and family were so professional, supportive and kind throughout, I can't recommend them highly enough. Lisa made the whole process as straight forward as possible. When we first met with her we had little idea of what to expect or what we wanted but she listened to us and made suggestions without any pressure. On the day, things couldn't have gone better. Lee and his team were so kind and gave my mum such a respectful and dignified burial. The vicar that Lisa arranged for us provided a perfect service and the flowers were gorgeous. Thank you!

Extremely professional, kind and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more. Michelle was excellent in all of the preparations for Mum’s funeral. On the day, Oliver and the team did a really good job of making sure everything went smoothly. Everyone we had contact with took the time to listen. A truly personal service tailored to our needs.
