We called Miles and Daughters, Binfield at 1:30am following the passing of my mother. They arrived 30 minutes later and were able to take the body away which was a great relief to us. Our contact was Charlotte who was able to deal with all our wishes and smooth everything through with the minimum of fuss. The day of the funeral went without a hitch , thanks to Mr Church who was exceptionally professional and caring and ensured everything went smoothly on the day. I would recommend Mikes and daughters without hesitation

After receiving excellent care at Miles and Daughters Binfield 7 years ago we called them again to arrange my Mother’s funeral. Despite the current restrictions we were once again helped with all our arrangements by such a friendly, understanding and professional company. We were kept fully informed and guided through each stage. They provided a compassionate, constant contact as well as a warm friendly person to conduct the service and ultimately provided a stress free build up to a lovely send off. There is a choice of plans that offer a range of options and give a breakdown of everything you need.
