"Everything was handled with such compassion, professionalism, and respect. We are so grateful for the outstanding care and support we received following the recent passing of our dad."
— Madeliene L (Madi)
"From my first meeting with Kate, I knew I was in good hands. Kate's attention to detail and help to make our day personal was exceptional. They really helped us navigate through a very sad time."
— elaine king (about Kate)
"As a freelance organist I have attended hundreds of funerals and this one really was outstanding. My late mother was a perfectionist - things had to be done right and traditionally - she would have been very happy. I really cannot say any more."
— Paul Godman (about Kate)
"We unfortunately had to arrange both parent's funerals within a short time period. When our mum suddenly passed in March, there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted to use Neville's services again and knew we were 'in safe hands' returning to such warm, friendly staff."
— Kim Dorson (about Kate)
"Their kindness, patience, and attention to detail made a very difficult time that little bit easier. They guided us gently through every step and ensured that Dad's farewell was exactly as we wanted it to be—dignified, personal, and full of love. Helping us give Dad the goodbye he deserved."
— Madeliene L (Madi) (about Sarah and Barry)
"Losing my mum was heartbreaking, but from the moment we met Peter, I felt we were in safe and caring hands. He took the time to really listen and understand what Mum meant to us, and he made sure every detail of her funeral reflected her warmth and kindness. Nothing was ever rushed or too much trouble — Peter was patient, compassionate, and genuinely cared about getting everything just right. I'll never forget the comfort Peter gave us during such a painful time."
— jayne s (about Peter)

From my first meeting with Kate, I knew I was in good hands. Kates attention to detail and help to make our day personal was exceptional. Judy our celebrant was excellent ensuring the service was personal to mum. On the day Barry and his team made everything run smoothly for us, helping us transport the floral tribute to the wake. I would highly recommend the shefford team they really helped us navigate through a very sad time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Losing my mum was heartbreaking, but from the moment we met Peter, I felt we were in safe and caring hands. He took the time to really listen and understand what Mum meant to us, and he made sure every detail of her funeral reflected her warmth and kindness. Nothing was ever rushed or too much trouble — Peter was patient, compassionate, and genuinely cared about getting everything just right. On the day, everything ran so smoothly and beautifully; it felt like the perfect farewell for Mum. I’ll never forget the comfort Peter gave us during such a painful time. Thank you, Peter, for treating Mum with such dignity and for supporting our family with so much care and respect.

We used Neville’s in Sheford many year ago and they were the obvious choice when our dad recently passed. We are so grateful for the outstanding care and support we received following the recent passing of our dad. From start to finish, everything was handled with such compassion, professionalism, and respect. A heartfelt thank you to Sarah and Barry, who were exceptional throughout. Their kindness, patience, and attention to detail made a very difficult time that little bit easier. They guided us gently through every step and ensured that Dad’s farewell was exactly as we wanted it to be—dignified, personal, and full of love. We truly appreciate everything they did for our family.helping us give Dad the goodbye he deserved.

From the first contact made with Kate at Shefford to the limousine returning us to the Funeral reception everything was perfect. The degree of care and compassion was outstanding. Organisation of the day could not be faulted and the extras (Orders of Service and Flowers) were of the very highest quality. Nothing was too much trouble for Kate and Sarah and Peter guided the day with dignity, efficiency and a few welcome laughs. As a freelance organist I have attended hundreds of funerals and this one really was outstanding. My late mother was a perfectionist - things had to be done right and traditionally - she would have been very happy. I really cannot say any more. Thank you so much for a wonderful day. I cannot recommend Nevilles at Shefford highly enough.

Arranging a funeral is never going to be a pleasant experience but all of the staff at Neville go out of their way to ensure the whole process from start to finish is as smooth and stress free as possible. We unfortunately had to arrange both parent's funerals within a short time period. Back in November last year we first met Kate when we went in to discuss arrangements for our Dad's funeral. Kate is kind, patient, empathetic and personable. The communication is exceptional and you know what's going every step of the way. I must also mention Peter - he ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of the service and again, gave it a very personal touch. When our mum suddenly passed in March, there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted to use Neville's services again and knew we were 'in safe hands' returning to such warm, friendly staff.
