Neville’s Ampthill have been absolutely amazing. We used Neville’s for my Mums funeral 4 years ago and now my dad’s. They were so professional and supportive and nothing was ever too much trouble. You helped us every step of the way. Thank you to Kate for organising everything with us and for keeping us updated every step of the way, (even dealing with family dramas). You were amazing and I can’t thank you enough, also I would like to thank Michael for organising the day of the funeral, I remember how lovely you were at my mums funeral too. Again even with family drama’s you were so professional and so lovely guiding us throughout the whole service. I can’t thank you enough. Thank you! 🙏

I cannot praise Nevilles at Ampthill highly enough. They are so friendly and professional. A large team all working hard to ensure that your final goodbye to a loved one is as you had hoped . Sometimes you’re not sure what you want, it is after all not something we are faced with every day. The arrangers will guide you every step of the way. The service for my Mum was absolutely perfect and this is a reflection of the compassion shown to me and my family. Thank you so very much .

Neville Funerals in Ampthill have again been fantastic in supporting us through another family funeral. Michael and Shona have been excellent with their professional manner, their sensitivity and their wise advise throughout. Every stage went smoothly without any problems. We were able to have exactly what we wanted without any pressure to choose something different. We are very grateful for the excellent service we received through the difficult time following our bereavement. The cost was very reasonable for the level of care and attention we received. Thanks to everybody at Neville Funerals in Ampthill.
