"Always friendly, comforting and professional, nothing was too much trouble and their ideas always had Allan's family in mind so that the burden on ourselves was minimised. Personal and caring at all times."
— Paul Maliphant
"Ray Hill rang me the day before the funeral to say how it would proceed, and that he would be attending and overseeing the service even though he has retired, which I am so grateful for."
— Lynda Shaftoe (about Ray Hill)
"Mr Hill and the members of his team treated my father with respect and all of us with care. We all felt looked after and my father's last party was a great day."
— patricia curry (about Mr Hill, Caroline)
"They went above and beyond. We have an elderly, infirm relative, and they gave him assistance on the day and sourced an appropriate vehicle suitable for his needs. We are eternally grateful. 5 stars and above."
— Lorna Foster (about Jodie)
"Her efficiency knows no bounds. Thank you so much for making it easier for me to let go."
— Malcolm Peter Hannon (about Caroline Joyce)
"From the initial emotion-fuelled phone call to the company to enquire about funerals, throughout the whole traumatic journey of dealing with a family death, LC Hills were just wonderful. They lifted the burden of funeral arranging which enabled us to start grieving. Nothing was too much trouble."
— Sarah Hickson (about Ray, Caroline)

Having arranged my stepfather's funeral four years ago I knew I wanted to use L C Hill & Son for my Mother's funeral. Caroline was very helpful and respectful of what I wanted at this sad time and went through all the details with me. Ray Hill rang me the day before the funeral to say how it would proceed, and that he would be attending and overseeing the service even though he has retired, which I am so grateful for. The whole team who carried Mums coffin were very respectful. I would have no hesitation in recommending L C Hill & Son as they are caring and thoughtful at the most difficult time in your life having lost a loved one.

Sadly we needed to use L C Hill again for the second time in two years for our beloved parents. Caroline, the arranger, was as lovely as always, and on the day, Jodie and the team were absolutely superb. They went above and beyond. We have an elderly, infirm relative, and they gave him assistance on the day and sourced an appropriate vehicle suitable for his needs. Thank you so much, we are eternally grateful. 5 stars and above. Love, the Spencer family.

Mt Hill and his team were amazing. Caroline was approachable, helpful and so very kind, my father lived locally but I do not so Caroline supported me mainly over the phone but I could not have asked for a better team. I was skill fully guided to florists, local vicar, venues and generally 'what to do'. The order of service was brilliantly set out and printed (especially the photos) with quality and many options. Lots of our guests remarked on how lovely they were. The day of the funeral was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, Mr Hill and the members of his team treated my father with respect and all us with care including insuring we had a parking space. It all went off beautifully, we all felt looked after and my father's last party was a great day. Many, many, many thanks to you all.

5 star service from a caring, sympathetic and professional team. The support during the process from pre to post funeral was really helpful and reassuring. The funeral day was as good as it could be and LC Hill and Son played a big part in making it such a fitting day to remember a life well lived.
