Dodgsons were as helpful as we’d hoped. Services like these people need to rely on expertise and advice, something Dodgsons did in abundance. We are very grateful with special thanks to both Richard and Janice that made us feel welcomed and comforted throughout.

Wm. Dodgson & Son were consummately professional, kind, courteous and respectful. I would particularly like to thank Andy, Sonia and David who helped me through an obviously difficult time, and I really feel that my mum was in the very best of hands, treated with care, dignity and respect and it gave me great comfort to know that. I, too, felt looked after, and I am immensely grateful for all the gracious help I received every step of the way.

In the last few years, Wm Dodgson & Son have arranged my mother's and my father in law's funerals very efficiently, so it was with no hesitation that I chose Wm Dodgson to arrange my wife's funeral because I was anxious for a respectful and qualitative send off for my beloved.My high expectations were exceeded!From the moment they arrived to take care of Christine to the day I collected the ashes, they were brilliant, showing huge amounts of empathy, sincerity, care, respect and professionalism.Andy arranged everything, allayed my concerns and generally cared. His recommendations for the funeral celebrant and the choice of venue were superb and they ensured a charming service and a fabulous reception. Thanks to Andy and all the team.

My two sisters and I were so well looked after by Andy from the first conversation we had with him over the phone, to meeting in his office to discuss all the arrangements, right through to when we said our goodbyes at the the crematorium.. The kindness he showed us was such a comfort during what was for us, such a difficult time. He looked after all our needs and requirements with patience and empathy. The way my brother was looked after in his care was done with great respect and dignity and we as a family, will always be very grateful to Andy and his team for that. The little caring, personal details throughout our time with Wm. Dodgson were very touching, and it made what was a traumatic experience, so much easier to bear. We would like to express our gratitude to Andy, for all he did for the family and our lovely brother, and for his constant reassurance, kindness and consideration. A big thank you from Jane, Emma, John, Lydia, Emily and I.

Right from the start Wm. Dodgson & Son have provided exemplary service. I was very impressed with Davids professionalism on the night of my mums passing, when he came to visit us to discuss next steps and also on the day of the funeral. David referred us to Andy to support us with the funeral arrangements. Andy has been fantastic throughout. I was very impressed with Andy’s personable approach and his caring and calm nature. This is never an easy process to go through and Andy went out of his way to make this experience as painless as possible. He checked in with my father and I regularly and kept us up to date with the arrangements. The order of service he helped to develop was really impressive. I’m also grateful to him for the time he spent with my dad during his visit to the chapel of rest. Andy has been a rockstar and been an amazing support to my family and I. Special thank you to Andy and David for the excellent service you provided and for making the process straightforward and as pain free as possible! My family and I will always be very grateful to you both for everything you have done. If you have lost a loved one I can’t recommend W M Dodgson and Sons enough!
