My family and I can’t thank Penny enough for all her support and amazing help in organising my Mum’s funeral. She made an impossibly difficult time a little easer by ensuring we could put together the Life Celebration we wanted, with some really lovely personal touches. Thank you so much Penny. You never want to have to contact a funeral directors but if you do need to, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Penny.

I cannot recommend Safe Hands Funeral Services enough. As it is for anyone who needs to organise a funeral, it was an incredibly difficult time for myself and my family. However, it was made so much easier through the support of Penny and her wonderful team.From the very first phone call, we felt taken care of and were guided through the process from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble and Penny offered us so much advice and support which I will always be grateful for. She took the time to get to know who my dad was. She listened to our stories about him, his likes and dislikes and helped us to create something truly special. She helped me to make my dad proud one final time.Thank you Safe Hands for all you did for my family and I. Your professionalism, knowledge and support made a difficult period of our lives so much easier. I would not hesitate to recommend Penny and her entire team should you need the service of a funeral director. They were wonderful in every way.

I feel very fortunate to have Safe Hands Funeral Services local to me in Storrington. From my first phone call to Penny she showed so much care for my mother and our family. The funeral was in the chapel at the Forge as we wanted a more intimate service. Leo, the celebrant Penny recommended was wonderful, the flowers were absolutely beautiful and the service was emotional, sincere and the perfect send off for my mother. Penny made this very difficult time for us as pain free as was possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Safe Hands. Thank you Penny

I can't recommend Penny and Safe Hands Funeral Services highly enough. She was wonderfully calm and compassionate and made a difficult time a lot easier.She worked with our family to create an incredibly personal and special funeral.Whilst it wasn't a factor we also found that Safe Hands Funeral Services were excellent value for money.

Penny at Safe Hands recently recently provided the services for my Dads funeral. I really can't praise Safe Hands services highly enough. From the first initial phone call Penny has been a tremendous support for our family -expertly taking us through the necessary decisions and making the funeral a fitting celebration of my Dads life. At all times Penny has been kind, sensitive and compassionate and was always willing to provide help and assistance which was greatly appreciated especially by my Mum.
