"There are no adequate words to thank Paula and her staff for their compassion and care when looking after my son. There was no other funeral directors that I would have entrusted him to. They go the extra mile and amaze you with so many thoughtful and caring extras. I would never consider entrusting a loved one to any other company."
— Anne Richardson (about Paula)
"They made a day that we were personally dreading into a day of celebration and joy for the man we all loved. Customers is the wrong word — they treat you like a friend. I would say they are second to none for how they treat their customers."
— june marsh (about Paula)
"At a time when my brother and I were shaken to the core, Paula was kind, gentle, listening, guiding us gently through the whole process. From the service sheets on the pews, little mementoes and discreet little packs of tissues, roses to place on the coffin — Paula had thought that extra step beyond the usual funereal experience. They become the friends you never knew you needed."
— Adam Buttery (about Paula)
"Paula almost felt like a big sister taking all the difficult decisions away from me as I would not have known what to do. After losing my father unexpectedly, it was one of the hardest moments in my life as we were incredibly close. It was truly a beautiful service from start to finish with all the little touches she added. I know my father would have been beaming from heaven."
— Yolanda Neo (about Paula)
"We had a few difficult situations that were both trying and painful and Paula handled them with grace and care. Helping us to give our precious child the beautiful send off she deserved. In a time when there feels like there is nothing good in the world, they gave us a reminder that there is."
— Eliza Sims (about Paula)
"She truly felt like an angel sent to guide us through every step of the funeral process. As a family who immigrated to the UK from Hong Kong, this was our first time facing such a loss, and we felt completely lost. She took the time to learn about my father — not just the big things, but the smallest details — handled everything with such grace, empathy, and professionalism."
— Arvie Chan (about Paula)

We can only give Paula and her team the highest of praise for my husbands funeral arrangements. Their attention to detail, personal touch, going the extra mile are only a few of the superlatives we can express about them. I would say they are second to none for how they treat their customers, in fact customers is the wrong word, they treat like a friend. They made a day that we were personally dreading into a day of celebration and joy for the man we all loved. Can I also say a massive thanks to Blake who was the recommended celebrant, he mad us laugh, cry and remember Billy they way we all knew him. Thank you Paula, the rest of the Faulkners team and Blake.

For us as a family we had to instruct a funeral director before my mum had even past. From the very first phone call with Paula I instantly knew that we had made to right choice, and knew that mum would be looked after and treated with respect. Paula made the whole process so easy and she went out of way to make it stress free for us as a family, the support and kindness that she has shown us has been amazing. Paula, Loz and her team gave mum a wonderful send off yesterday, we can't thank you enough for the amazing surprise personal touches on mums coffin, even if I did nearly give you heart failure :). Keep up the good work and keep doing what you are doing, you are one in a million. If you are looking for a funeral director who goes above and beyond you wont go wrong with Paula.

We will forever be grateful for the kindness and support shown by Paula and all the team. Every step of the way they did everything they could to help us, they went above and beyond many times and in many ways. We had a few difficult situations that were both trying and painful and Paula handled them with grace and care. Helping us to give our precious child the beautiful send off she deserved. In a time when there feels like there is nothing good in the world, they gave us a reminder that there is. Thank you all so much.

We are deeply sorry if you are going through a difficult time and have come across this review. We were in the same situation not long ago, heartbroken, confused, and unsure of what to do after losing a loved one. As a family who immigrated to the UK from Hong Kong just three years ago, this was our first time facing such a loss, and we felt completely lost. We are so grateful we found Paula. She truly felt like an angel sent to guide us through every step of the funeral process. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and compassion. She took the time to learn about my father, it not just the big things, but the smallest details, handled everything with such grace, empathy, and professionalism. We wholeheartedly agree with another review we read: you can skip all the big chain companies. Just go straight to Paula and her team, they are truly wonderful. Thanks to her, we were able to give our father a beautiful and meaningful farewell. We cannot thank her enough.

I'd already met Paula through a mutual friend a couple of years ago. After half an hour chatting then, when our dad passed away two years later, there was no doubt in my mind who we should ask to look after him. At a time when my brother and I were shaken to the core, Paula was kind, gentle, listening, guiding us gently through the whole process of meeting his wishes. Over and above what we asked for, the thoughtfulness and feminine touch was evident everywhere. From the service sheets on the pews beforehand, little mementoes and discreet little packs of tissues, roses to place on the coffin..... Paula had thought that extra step beyond the usual funereal experience. Backed up by her colleague Loz, they become the friends you never knew you needed. We highly recommend Paula and Loz if you have lost someone you love, and want them treated the way you would yourself. Many thanks ladies, you are wonderful!
