Holmes and Family Ltd

Thank you so much for your excellent service. These guys are true professionals at what they do and I would just like to give you all a massive thank you for your hard work and dedication. From the moment we first called, you made us feel welcome by helping us through these tough times. I could not have asked for a better service. From the bottom my heart, thank you so much x

Holmes handled the funeral service for my elderly second cousin with immense professionalism and empathy. Sarah was wonderfully helpful, in dealing with a hiccup with the registration due to a missing death certificate, and talked us through the process, handling the ordering of flowers and order of service sheets on our behalf.Dane, the celebrant, was wonderful in leading the service and reading what I had researched and written up with the right amount of emphasis and sounded like he knew our relative, even only from reading our words. We felt able to create the funeral service we ourselves wanted with guidance and suggestion but no problem with choosing aspects ourselves as we chose poems and music that fitted our needs, rather than religious aspects others might prefer.My elderly mum was particularly complimentary in that she could hear every word, something she struggles with at many funerals.The team who attended the coffin were led by Alex a young man who was so incredibly smart and professional and the guys were all very respectful in every aspect of the service.In addition, we can highly recommend Green Ferns Florist who created a wonderful cricket bat floral tribute that fitted very well with our cousin.A family member suggested we use Holmes and Family as they had cause to use their services earlier in the year and none of us would hesitate to recommend them for the future. Thank you to everyone at Holmes, who made the sad process much easier to deal with, with kindest regards.

Now the dust has settled following my fathers recent passing, I wish to take the opportunity to thank Holmes & Family, especially Sarah, Oliver and Alex in arranging my fathers funeral.Although the circumstances with Corona Virus made things for more challenging than one could have ever envisaged, limiting the opportunity of one to one interaction, the personal touch and eye for detail was self evident throughout.From the initial contact and introduction your mind was put at rest, you never felt uncomfortable raising a question and all the subsequent conversations which were had to discuss the arrangements were amiable in nature, our requirements all accommodated and everything fell into place seamlessly.I cannot thank you all enough for such an exemplary service.

Mrs E Regan wrote, 'Holmes and Family provided us with a thoroughly professional service from the moment we first made contact with them. They took care of all arrangements faultlessly, were always compassionate, patient and flexible. On the day of the funeral they arrived on time, immaculately turned-out and conducted themselves in a dignified manner throughout. We could not have wished for better.'

We were all dreading the process of arranging dads funeral but as soon as I made the call to Holmes & Family in Fleet and spoke to Sarah I knew that they were the right choice.When we went to meet Sarah and go through the arrangements we were all so pleased with our decision to ask Holmes & Family to take care of us and Dad. Nothing was any trouble. Sarah was so warm and understood exactly what we wanted and made sure the process was calm, and painless. On the day the whole team were so lovely and everything was absolutely perfect. Oliver and the rest of the team were professional and compassionate and we really couldn't have asked for any more. I would (and do) wholeheartedly recommend Holmes & Family to anyone going through this very difficult process.
