    Could not have had better support at a very emotional and difficult time.
    Thank you all

  • 5 Sue Ireland 7th Nov 2023

    Sarah looked after me and my family with such warmth at this terrible time in our lives.
    She guided us through the arrangements and recommended Vicky the Celebrate to conduct the service.  I cannot recommend Sarah enough for the care and attention to detail in giving my husband the best service I think he would have liked.

  • 5 Jill Hurst 7th Nov 2023

    We can't thank you enough for everything you did for us in arranging Dad's funeral. All the help with the paperwork. Your team went above and beyond expectations during a difficult time.

  • 5 Patricia Cassidy 7th Nov 2023

    The service and absolute friendliness helped make the whole process of mum's funeral so much less stressful - especially with the added constraint of liaising with a funeral director in the Midlands for the interment in Atherstone.

    We would recommend them to everybody, as far as we are concerned the service could not be bettered.

  • 5 Sylvia Walker 7th Nov 2023

    You could not have been more helpful Thankyou so much.

    The funeral went beautifully and is something I will always remember.

    We would always use your services in the future.

    Sorry for not reviewing earlier.

    Guilders funeral services are the best you will find in the Chandlers Ford area. They've been excellent when both Dad & Mum passed away. Will recommend Guilders to anyone that needs this service.

    Thanks to all for your help...............

  • 5 Sheila Padget 18th Sep 2023

    I recently used Nigel Guilder Ltd. to arrange my husband's funeral and I cannot fault the service I received from them. From the help and advice offered to guide me through the process to the care and compassion shown by everyone with whom I had contact made what could have been a distressing experience bearable. Nothing was too much trouble and their patience as adjustments needed to be made was much appreciated. They have my heartfelt gratitude.

  • 5 Rachel Duncan 17th Sep 2023

    We were contacted on the day that Mum died and were able to make an appointment for the following day, which we found realy helpful.
    We were treated with kindness and professionalism and given all the time and support that we needed to make a lot of difficult decisions.
    We had frequent updates before the funeral and were greatly supported on the day.
    Thank you to everyone at Nigel Guilders and especially to John.
    Best wishes
    Rachel and Sarah

  • 5 Raymond Pickett 13th Sep 2023

    Mum had arranged a funeral plan so most of the costs were covered but as helpful were the instructions she had set out with Guilders.
    All the arrangements were handled professionally and sympathetically throughout leading onto the funeral itself which was perfect.

  • 5 Margaret Roberts 13th Sep 2023

    I was looked after from the first phone call to the last email. All the worry of making sure the day went smoothly was taken out of hands, thank you for your care and kindness.

  • 5 Valerie Fitchet 13th Sep 2023

    Working with John was a v good experience and I would recommend Nigel Guilder to anyone going through  a bereavement .
    He was helpful and understanding and we actually laughed occasionally ! Thank you

  • 5 Katie Warner 13th Sep 2023

    We found all the staff to be caring and attentive to small details at every stage. They were aware of our feelings and respectful of the grieving process we were all going through in different ways. They helped a lot to put  us at ease and were a great reassurance and support on the day of the funeral. John phoned to check how I was in the days running up to the funeral and how things were going, which I appreciated.

  • 5 Chris Heare 31st Jul 2023

    Natalie, at Nigel Guilder's, provided excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble.
    The environment at Nigel Guilder's is welcoming and the meeting room is like being in your own home.
    The funeral service went very smoothly. I felt well cared for throughout the whole process at such a desperately sad time.
    Thank you so much for guiding and looking after me.
    Regards
    Chris Heare
