"A special mention to Justina, who was truly outstanding throughout. She was not only highly professional but also incredibly warm, understanding, and supportive. She handled everything with dignity and respect, which gave us great comfort and peace of mind."
— Hannah Selby (about Justina)
"I was blessed to have Justine by my side during this difficult time — she was amazing, and treated me and my family with dignity and respect. She dealt with everything on my behalf in such a calm, organised manner. Grateful thanks to you all."
— joy harkness (about Justina)
"Justina really helped to make a difficult time that little bit easier. She said we could call at any time if we had any questions — and we often did. We never felt as though we were being rushed and everything was managed with incredible thought and sensitivity. With Justina's and Kyle's advice and support, we were able to give our Dad the loveliest of send-offs."
— Jacqueline Vann (about Justina)
"From the initial meeting, I knew I could trust her implicitly — she was kind, patient, empathetic, respectful and so incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she was on hand day and night. She guided us through everything and made the whole process so easy and stress-free, resulting in the most memorable and lovely day. If I could give the service we received more stars, I would."
— kATE bRYAN (about Justina)
"Justina, Kyle and the team are sent from heaven. They care about your experience, are available all the time and deliver a discreet, heart centred experience. They care about all the tiny details that are important to you as the grieving party, and most importantly they care greatly for the loved ones in their care. They made the hardest time of our lives, easy."
— Annalie Maher (about Justina)
"From the moment we placed my Dad in the care of Justina and the team at Toby Hunt, we knew it was the right choice. Every step was explained with respect and every action carried out with dignity. As Dad served in the RAF, Justina suggested the coffin was draped with a Union Jack, something we'd not considered. The only hiccup of the day was the celebrant getting stuck in traffic — Justina stepped up and held the service together. I hope not to have to use Toby Hunt again for a long time, but if the need arises, Justina and the team will be my first and only choice."
— Graham McLaren Harris (about Justina)

From the moment we placed my Dad in the care of Justina and the team at Toby Hunt, we knew it was the right choice. Every step was explained with respect and every action carried out with dignity. Justina guided us through every step of the process, with an open, honest and caring approach and as Dad served in the RAF suggested the coffin was draped with a Union Jack, something we’d not considered. She clearly loves her role. She checked in regularly that we were happy with the arrangements, even on the morning of the funeral. Dad was taken to his care home so residents and staff could pay respects, a lovely touch before bringing him to the crematorium. The only hiccup of the day was the celebrant getting stuck in traffic. Justina stepped up and held the service together. Cannot thank her or the team for the amazing service provided at such a difficult and stressful time. I hope not to have to use Toby Hunt again for a long time, but if the need arises Justina and the team will be my first and only choice.

I cannot thank the team enough for the exceptional care and compassion they have shown while looking after my mother-in-law. During such a difficult time, their kindness and professionalism made a real difference to our family. A special mention to Justina, who was truly outstanding throughout. She was not only highly professional but also incredibly warm, understanding, and supportive. She handled everything with dignity and respect, which gave us great comfort and peace of mind. We are deeply grateful for the care provided and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a compassionate and reliable funeral director.

I simply cannot fault the service that was provided by Toby Hunt from beginning to end. We dealt with Justina throughout and from the initial meeting, I knew I could trust her implicitly- she was kind, patient, empathetic, respectful and so incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. Nothing was ever too much trouble and was on hand day and night —this gave us so much reassurance and comfort at such a sad time. She guided us through everything and made the whole process so easy and stress-free, resulting in the most memorable and lovely day where everything went so smoothly and allowed us to celebrate my dads life in the most perfect way possible. All the people involved ( from the celebrant, drivers and pall bearers) were so accommodating and respectful. Thank you to everyone who made this day so perfect - as a family we are so incredibly grateful. If I could give the service we received more stars, I would.

From the moment we met Justina we felt we were in safe hands. She was very professional and guided us through the procedure as to what was to happen. She introduced us to Nicole Ruby as the Celebrant, the order of service and everything that went with it was made easier than we ever imagined. We feel we were working with the A team who treated us in a warm and respectful manner at all times. We have no hesitation in recommending Toby Hunt Funerals to anyone in the sad position of having to organise a funeral. Linda & Bill Tirebuck.
