In addition to providing all modern and traditional facilities in Highcliffe, we have the Christchurch Ceremony Hall, in Barrack Road that can comfortably accommodate up to 40 mourners in fully air-conditioned comfort and the convenience of not needing to travel to a crematorium or cemetery. We have some free car parking for visitors and private chapels of rest within the funeral home.
"Their communication was excellent both by phone and email which was important because we live a long distance away. Our wishes were listened to, and the arrangements all went smoothly. The Celebrant conducted the service with a balance of dignity and joy."
— Nick Fitzhugh
"Jack took care of the funeral arrangements for my father and from the start he was compassionate, kind and patient in what was a very difficult time for us."
— Patterson Family (about Jack)
"Sue and Jack were amazing, compassionate and professional from the moment we made contact with them to the day of the funeral and on collecting Dad's ashes. Nothing was too much trouble, they always went above and beyond in their help, support and professionalism. I cannot thank them enough for ensuring my lovely Dad the perfect send off he so deserved."
— Elaine Wilkinson (about Sue & Jack)
"From the very first contact, Jack showed such compassion, kindness, and professionalism, guiding us through an incredibly difficult time with patience and care. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Their support made a heartbreaking time so much easier."
— Jilly Stewart (about Jack)
"The care mum, my brother and myself received from Sue, Jessica & Anna was above and beyond. We cannot thank them enough for looking after us all and for being so thoughtful and caring at every step of the way. Thank you also for looking after dad and being there with a hug and box of tissues when we visited him in the chapel of rest. You're all one in a million."
— Susan Williams (about Sue, Jessica & Anna)
