We were recommended Neville by a family friend and we weren't disappointed. Everyone was so helpful, kind and understanding and made what was a difficult time, just that little easier.

I have now used Neville services twice and can definitely say that I thoroughly recommend them. When my mother Margaret suddenly passed in December last year 2023. Her wishes had always been to use the same funeral directors who had been so supportive and professional in the burial of my dad in 2012. So I contacted Neville in Hemel to arrange everything and was so impressed by the support and step by step help, Alison and her colleagues offered. All at such a very difficult time for me and my family! I would like to thank Alison again for her efficient, sympathetic help. Her attention to detail and her dedication in ensuring everything went smoothly and efficiently, which it did. Thankyou.

I used Neville for the funeral of my late wife and was 100% satisfied with the service from start to finish. Caring, sympathetic and professional. They supplied everything for the service, including the flowers and also recommended a celebrant and everything was as good as it could be. I was very apprehensive about the whole thing but they made it as easy as possible, from start to finish.
