Organised my Dad's funeral via the team at Hillingdon. It was everything we could have wished for and more. Kindness, patience, absolute attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thanks to Kim, Beth, Steve and all the team, plus a special mention for Sue Harding, the Celebrant on the day who was equally amazing

I needed this funeral directors before for my father and 15 years later for my husband! Kim who we spoke to and arranged all the details for my husband's funeral was wonderful. On the day of the funeral - Daniel who over saw it was great - so thoughtful. This was a hard time for me and my daughter but they all were amazing! I can't thank them enough💕

I would like to thank everyone involved in making my husband’s funeral run so smoothly. I would like to thank Kim for all her help in arranging this and Sue for producing a wonderful order of service. On the day Victoria and the guys were so professional, they made sure everything went really well. Thank you .

Thank you for organising the funeral of my father - our second family funeral with you in less than a year. Alison was excellent at arranging the details with my mother and I, and the Order of Service was beautiful - a very fitting tribute to Dad. Being able to spend time with him in the chapel of rest was lovely, as was chatting with Helen, who arranged my brother's funeral last year. The team on the day were excellent. The traffic to the crematorium was awful and I really appreciated them waiting for us to catch up when traffic got in the way on the journey. Despite it being such a sad occasion, your team were a very important part in making my Dad's send off perfect. Thank you again.

Everyone was extremely helpful, kind, patient & informative. The men on the day of the funeral were brilliant, they guided me from my house until after the funeral was over.
