My brother died in difficult circumstances due to mental health problems. Gooding were respectful, non judgmental and caring throughout the entire process. My particular thanks to Sanjaye who looked after me throughout showing kindness and empathy. I particularly respect the way people's financial difficulties can be taken into consideration and would recommend them highly.

I decided to use this company because of all the positive reviews and feedback that I'd heard about them and I wasn't disappointed. From the very beginning everyone, but especially Peter, was fabulous - kind, courteous, accommodating and understanding and no matter what I asked of them or how many times I changed plans or emailed them overnight with suggestions and alterations, they never once let me down. The other wonderful point about them is that they have so many affordable packages so that even if you're struggling with your budget, they will do their best to find a way to help you. There

From picking us up to laying my grandson to rest the vicar they got didn’t even remember what we said to him and kept getting his name wrong and when it came to actually laying him to rest they didn’t even say a prayer at the graveside or even wait for everyone to get there they were already putting him in the ground before we got there it was like they couldn’t wait to get away no compassion at all yet there quick to take money that wasn’t even my daughters debt disgusting

No doubt a 5* service. Top marks are given because they are lovely people to work with, are great communicators, are compassionate and patient, all whilst offering great guidance and advice.
We were surprised by and loved Gooding's use of the traditional paging. We did not know what this was called, but now know it's where the director walks in front of the cortège for a distance and then stops and bows to the coffin in a gesture of respect before getting into the hearse. A really love touch.
Thanks guys, you played a big part in making my mum's farewell a fantastic occasion :)

I've have found this company to be very professional at all times.
At such an emotional time they have showed the upmost empathy with families and guest.
Alleviating the added pressure from families who are grieving for their lost ones without the added pressure of concerns about cost, time and planning.
I would highly recommend Hugh Gooding Funeral Services

My father passed away two months ago and they helped me through the entire process. They were friendly, kind and they understood everything I required.
Hugh Gooding Funerals did my mother's funeral three years ago, and we were so impressed with the care and compassion that we received then, that when my father sadly passed away recently, we could consider no other funeral director.
My family and I highly recommend this company because they were professional and caring from beginning to end.

At a time when what you cherish most is knowing that your loved one who has passed is being cared for by a professional, sensitive organisation, we could not have asked for more. This team of amazing people made one of the saddest days of my life, one of the most beautiful days. I cannot think of that day without smiling. That is precious ❤️
