W. Sherry carried out the funeral of a good friend who had passed away without leaving easily found official documentation, as such his funeral was arranged by the London Borough of Hounslow, who engaged them, for what would effectively be a "pauper's burial" They conducted their services with every bit of care and professionalism as though family had contracted them privately, a wonderful job. Extra praise is due for the celebrant they engaged, Sam Barlow. WOW! I've been to many funerals, and the celebrants have all been charming and professional, but Sam went the extra mile. He performed the eulogy with a passion, immersing his heart and soul into it. I don't remember any of the other celebrants having the same impact, had another funeral 24 hours later so had a quick comparison. Everyone at the wake commented on the great overall performance of W Sherry, and everyone had the same impression of Sam. I would highly recommend W. Sherry & Sons, and would further recommend you request Sam Barlow as your celebrant. Afterwards I may have upset him by asking if he was an actor such was the impression he'd made upon me, I promise it was a mark of appreciation and respect for how he had performed his duties.

This review is very late, however no less grateful. We lost our 18 month old daughter in 2013 following surgery at Gt Ormond St Hospital. We live in Northern Ireland so were pretty lost as to what to do. Our Funeral Director in Antrim directed us to W Sherry & Sons. They did their job very quickly and efficiently, and whilst we were in the building for a very short period, we were looked after well. Highly recommended, and we are eternally grateful for W Sherry being there to assist in getting our little girl home.

The service was truly exceptional. Every member of staff went far above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled with care, dignity, and perfection.

Sherry & Sons did a fantastic job with my aunts funeral and all the bits that are needed. She was well cared for and given the send off she deserved. Very happy with the service and would recommend!

My mother sadly passed away in June 2018. Then we contacted W Sherry & Sons. We dealt with Rupert Dove. He is a very caring and considerate person and very professional at his job. He kindly came to mum's funeral. And the other day he brought mum's ashes back home to us. Which we are so grateful for. Well i would highly recommend this business. π―%.
