Update on original review. Used Pepperdine Barrett for my mums funeral Dec 2021 and now for my dads Aug 2022. Both times PB provided the perfect send off. Everything from first contact to the day of the funeral went smoothly. We had to delay my mums funeral due to my dad going in hospital They were very sympathetic and gave us the time needed. Just want to say thanks to Kate and the rest at Pepperdine for arranging the perfect send off for my parents. I would highly recommend. Thanks again.

Pepperdine Barrett conducted the funeral of both my parents within the last 7 months. The service they provided was amazing. Kate, Barry, John and Pauline and the rest of the team made this extremely difficult time that much more bearable and nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond even finding us a violinist to play. Thankyou All for All you did for not just for Mum and Dad that were in your care but for the Care you extended to the whole family. Bless you All Paula (Mr &Mrs Doyle daughter).

The staff at Pepperdine Barrett were efficient, kind and respectful throughout the process of organising my mum's funeral. I cannot thank them enough for making what was a very difficult time, especially during the pandemic, easier. They made sure that all my mum's and our wishes were taken care of and that we knew exactly how things would go on the day. If you sadly need their services for a relative or wish to make plans for yourself, I recommend them.
