Tapper Funeral Service

From the very first tentative enquiry, Tappers were so helpful and could not do enough to fulfil my late relative's wishes. They were efficient and cheerful even in the saddest of discussions, they could not have done more for us. Gorgeous black-plumed horses and a beautiful glass hearse, the cortege brought tears to the eyes. We had support and compassionate understanding from all the team. Sarah Boyle did a sterling job of officiating at the ceremony. I want them to look after me when the time comes!

Jessica, Joe, Vanessa and the team at Tapper in Christchurch are simply fantastic. The care and support they gave us from the word go was nothing short of wonderful. Such compassion and professionalism at every stage. They went above and beyond to help us achieve the greatest send off for our WW2 veteran dad; taking the initiative in reaching out to military networks and honouring our every wish. Jessica is a very special person and I would not hesitate to recommend her in taking care of your loved ones.

Tapper's Christchurch have been excellent for us and whilst sadly we have had to use their services twice in the past year the family have taken great comfort in knowing that Jessica and the team have been in charge of making all arrangements and managing the funerals from start too finish. Jessica has been kind, understanding, patient and compassionate throughout and knowing she is there to oversee everything has been so reassuring. I could not recommend Tapper's enough having made a great impression in our very first meeting through to the services and right up to the end of both of our family funerals. Thank you so much!

Jessica and the team at Christchurch made my Dad's funeral completely stress free for me and my elderly Mum. Nothing was too much and they understood and facilitated the simple approach we wanted with care, compassion and cheerfulness ( this was a celebration of 96 year life) . Jessica's choice of Celebrant was perfect and the funeral staff on the day took such great care with Mum, and pitched their engagement with her perfectly ( and with good humour) . Thank you ❤️

From the first phone call, to collecting mum's ashes, we felt in very safe hands with Tappers. They demonstrated professionalism and compassion in their ability to listen, to make you feel ok, to know when to offer expert advice, to answer questions with patience and so much more. Being able to hold the service in Christchurch ceremony hall instead of a crematorium was exactly what we wanted, although on day 1 we didn't even know it was an option. After a tailored service, ably put together and delivered by Ellie, the room was reset for us to have refreshments and chat. There was no other funeral there that day so it felt very personal. We would highly recommend the company and our thanks to Chris and his team.
