Richard made me feel in safe hands from his first communication to the funeral service and beyond. He had a high degree of compassion, empathy and respect and nothing was too much trouble. I felt I could happily contact him with any query, which was dealt with immediately. Thank you Richard and Zoe too for all your help at a difficult time. I would certainly recommend this company.

Bungards were recommended to me when it came to arranging my Mums funeral in December. I cant thank Ben and the team enough for helping me through this with kindness and compassion. He listened and delivered what we wanted for Mum enabling us to celebrate her 98 years on a sunny day at Woodvale. The team provide a highly professional service with care and thoughtfulness, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone else having to make these arrangements. With many thanks, Fiona

We highly recommend Richard and the team at Bungard Funeral Directors. They provided us with the expert guidance and support we needed when arranging both a church service and a cremation following the sudden passing of a beloved family member. They worked around Covid restrictions and during the Christmas and New Year period with no issues. They were professional, thoughtful, patient and supportive throughout. If you need the services of dependable, dedicated and compassionate funeral directors look no further.
