Arranging my mum's funeral was an incredibly difficult time for my dad and me. I had never been through anything like it before, but Jane helped make the process a little easier. She truly went above and beyond in preparing my mum's service. Jane took the time to sit with our family, listen to our memories, and understand what my mum meant to each of us. The service she created genuinely honoured her. She guided us through choosing poems, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Although it was an extremely hard day for all of us, Jane made sure my mum was honoured beautifully and helped turn a painful day into a truly special one in its own way.

I can’t thank Jane and the White Rose team enough for the care and compassion they showed our family while helping us say goodbye to our dad. From our very first conversation right through to the ceremony, they supported us with such kindness and understanding, taking away the pressure at every step. Having never had to arrange anything like this before, their guidance meant we could focus on our grief, knowing everything was being handled with genuine care. The service itself, led by Jane, was exactly what we hoped for. It was thoughtful, warm, and even sprinkled with laughter, reflecting exactly who Dad was. Every member of the White Rose team we met was kind, respectful, and quietly brilliant at what they do. It truly made a world of difference. I highly recommended White Rose to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional service during such a difficult time.

White rose could not have been more caring. They were friendly and efficient and made things so much easier for us.we would recommend to anyone. Stephen and Jane were brilliant and kept us informed all the way through it and Ross took great care in making sure we got our sons ashes in Nottingham. Thank you so much.

Jane was absolutely brilliant from her first call to arrange a meeting with family members and despite many alterations to the eulogy of a dear mother, including changes on the day. Jane remained helpful and professional throughout providing us with an excellent service and support throughout the day. Our family highly recommend White Rose Funeral Service. Many thanks Jane, you went over and above trying to capture the nature and character of Barbara.

Jane is amazing! For a stranger to come into your home after the loss of a loved one, she was so friendly, loving and sympathetic! She listened to everything and even supplied tissues! The whole service supplied from the celebrant to the coffin to the funeral service was exactly how we wanted it. The team were exemplary and professional with a loving human touch from start to finish. Can’t thank White Rose Funeral Service- Stephen Tomes & Jane Hawksworth Funeral Directors enough!
