— Alison Sausen
"Ray Hill rang me the day before the funeral to say how it would proceed, and that he would be attending and overseeing the service even though he has retired, which I am so grateful for."
— Lynda Shaftoe (about Ray Hill)
"My father's last party was a great day. The day of the funeral was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, Mr Hill and his team treated my father with respect and all of us with care."
— patricia curry (about Caroline)
"From the initial emotion-fuelled phone call to the company and throughout the whole traumatic journey of dealing with a family death, LC Hills were just wonderful. They led us through the entire procedure step by step, with empathy, compassion and genuine care. LC Hills lifted the burden of funeral arranging which enabled us to start grieving."
— Sarah Hickson (about Ray)
"They went above and beyond. We have an elderly, infirm relative, and they gave him assistance on the day and sourced an appropriate vehicle suitable for his needs. We are eternally grateful. 5 stars and above."

The funeral directors were extremely competent and caring. The service provided was excellent, well-organized and left nothing to be criticized. My family and I felt truly supported in a very difficult time. Furthermore, having to organize the funeral from abroad was so much easier having thoughtful and experienced staff.

We have just used L.C. Hill and Son and they were absolutley brilliant.Caroline in the office was most helpful and understanding and Ray and his great team gave my mum a lovely burial.

Having arranged my stepfather's funeral four years ago I knew I wanted to use L C Hill & Son for my Mother's funeral. Caroline was very helpful and respectful of what I wanted at this sad time and went through all the details with me. Ray Hill rang me the day before the funeral to say how it would proceed, and that he would be attending and overseeing the service even though he has retired, which I am so grateful for. The whole team who carried Mums coffin were very respectful. I would have no hesitation in recommending L C Hill & Son as they are caring and thoughtful at the most difficult time in your life having lost a loved one.

Sadly we needed to use L C Hill again for the second time in two years for our beloved parents. Caroline, the arranger, was as lovely as always, and on the day, Jodie and the team were absolutely superb. They went above and beyond. We have an elderly, infirm relative, and they gave him assistance on the day and sourced an appropriate vehicle suitable for his needs. Thank you so much, we are eternally grateful. 5 stars and above. Love, the Spencer family.

Mt Hill and his team were amazing. Caroline was approachable, helpful and so very kind, my father lived locally but I do not so Caroline supported me mainly over the phone but I could not have asked for a better team. I was skill fully guided to florists, local vicar, venues and generally 'what to do'. The order of service was brilliantly set out and printed (especially the photos) with quality and many options. Lots of our guests remarked on how lovely they were. The day of the funeral was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, Mr Hill and the members of his team treated my father with respect and all us with care including insuring we had a parking space. It all went off beautifully, we all felt looked after and my father's last party was a great day. Many, many, many thanks to you all.
