"The task of organising the funeral was initially a stressful, daunting task that I faced while grieving but I felt that thanks to Brunskill, the whole process was eased and everything went perfectly. I cannot rate them higher and I'm so thankful they were so good."
— Emps Rd (about Ed Brunskill)
"I cannot thank enough his son Josh and the assistants who undertook the actual funeral on the day, for making my wife's final journey such a peaceful and respectful one."
— Greg Loftus (about Josh Brunskill)
"We originally had to call them out around 3am and no questions, they were there within 30 minutes. From then on, they guided us through the process of arranging the funeral, listening carefully to our wishes. I would recommend them without hesitation."
— Sue Dorrell (about Ed Brunskill)
"Ed went the extra mile to find and include a special song that wasn't on their database, which meant so much to us. The entire service was handled with a beautiful ceremonial spirit, and we left with a very positive impression."
— Lucia (about Ed Brunskill)
"Even though he was abroad on holiday at the time, Ed personally called me and arranged for his two wonderful sons to assist us. When we encountered difficulties with our chosen cemetery, Ed stepped in promptly and resolved everything with care. I cannot praise Ed Brunskill and his family highly enough for the professionalism, dedication, and compassion shown to us at a very difficult time."
— Shadeh Parsapour Moghadam (about Ed Brunskill)
"After an extremely difficult and distressing experience with our original undertakers, Ed and his family stepped in at an incredibly difficult time and immediately treated both us and Mum with compassion, professionalism, dignity and genuine care. Ed and his sons restored a sense of dignity and reassurance for our family at a time when we badly needed it. I will never forget your care."
— Martin Down (about Ed Brunskill)

Ed was a great help in organising my late wife’s funeral; showing great compassion and care at such a distressing time. I cannot thank enough his son Josh and the assistants who undertook the actual funeral on the day, for making my wife’s final journey such a peaceful and respectful one. Thank you all again 🙏🏻 I would not hesitate to recommend Brunskill Family Funerals to provide and organise the best possible send off for a loved one.

After an extremely difficult and distressing experience with our original undertakers in Epsom, my family transferred my late mother’s funeral arrangements to Ed Brunskill and his sons at Brunskill Funeral Directors with only around a week remaining before the funeral. At that stage, we were deeply upset and had lost confidence following the earlier handling of matters. Ed and his family stepped in at an incredibly difficult time and immediately treated both us and Mum with compassion, professionalism, dignity and genuine care. From the moment Ed became involved, everything was handled calmly, respectfully and sensitively. Communication was clear throughout and, despite the short notice, every aspect of the arrangements was carried out smoothly and professionally. Most importantly, Ed and his sons restored a sense of dignity and reassurance for our family at a time when we badly needed it. We will always be grateful for the kindness, respect and professionalism they showed throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Brunskill Funeral Directors to any family wanting genuinely caring and compassionate funeral directors who put dignity and respect first. Thank you again to Ed and all the family for everything you did for us. I will never forget your care Martin Down

I would highly recommend Ed and his team. Not only are they highly professional, but also compassionate, kind and caring. Just the human qualities you need when dealing with the loss of a loved one. They are very much a family firm and it resonates in the quality of their service. Having looked after several other of our family funerals, there was not question that we would go to Ed after the passing of my dear dad. Thank you to everyone at Brunskill Family Funerals.

I can’t thank Brunskill Family Funerals enough for the care and support they provided to me and my family during the passing of my grandmother. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, not only handling the funeral arrangements with professionalism, but also supporting us through the process of obtaining the MCCD as quickly as possible. Communication was excellent throughout, and they consistently made what is a very difficult time feel more manageable. They were also very accommodating to our needs, ensuring everything was handled in a way that suited our family. On the day of the funeral, everything was carried out beautifully and with great attention to detail. Throughout the process, the team showed genuine kindness, consideration, and respect for our culture and religion. Ed, in particular, was exceptional and played a key role in supporting the family during such a difficult time. We are truly grateful for the compassion and care shown over those two weeks.

We want to say a massive thank you to Ed and his team at Brunskill. There are no words that could come close to how amazing they are. From start to finish we have felt that nothing was to big or to small. You have done us proud with what you have prepared for the service for Angela ❤️ and a massive thank you to Jack who was amazing he conducted the most perfect funeral again thank you so much x
