Garner's organised the funeral of my sister in January 2026. David Oatham and his team were caring, helpful and efficient, contributing hugely to a beautiful and memorable day. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Garner's organised my mother's funeral for us in late January, and I would strongly recommend them. It was a slightly complicated situation because we were holding the funeral 100 miles from where we live, but Vicki was very adaptable and organised everything so that we could manage from a distance. We were very impressed with the responsiveness and comprehensive service. On the day David and his team were immaculately presented and thoroughly professional. We felt we were in very safe hands and that everything had been taken care of. Very many thanks to all the staff involved.

Garners Funeral Services Tolworth arranged my Dad's funeral in October 2025. All the staff were compassionate, professional and listened to us, so all our requests were met, there was no pressure and we were able to give Dad the send off we wanted and knew he would have chosen for himself. Liz was our main point of contact and we also spoke to Lynn and Vicki and David who were all kind and never too busy to listen. On the day the hurst and car looked immaculate and so did the men and David even took all the floral tributes from the crem to our home for us to enjoy for longer in our garden. We would highly recommend Garners.

As a family we have had 3 loved ones taken care of by Vicki, David and the wholesome team at Garners. The kindness and compassion and ability to go above and beyond for us meant so much. Truly sad and uncertain times made lighter, no request too big or small and I will be forever grateful. Highly recommend x

Simply, I have no words to express our thanks and gratitude to Victoria Flick (Funeral Arranger - Garner's Funeral Service). Victoria's understanding, and professionalism reflected Garner's ethos and by reflection their understanding and kindness during the difficult time of the loss of a loved one. Every detail was thought of, options offered and comments heard, understood and acted on. This made the final few days easier as well as fulfilling in the knowledge it was flawless and thorough. Thank you
