We can't recommend New Forest Funerals highly enough. Martin and Mandie took care of everything with sensitivity and great care. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. We found them very kind, but also very organised. Everything in the run-up to the funeral and on the day itself went very smoothly. It's a sad time for everyone and the last thing you want is for there to be stress about how things will be arranged. After consulting us with great care, they made sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about in that regard. A really good company. Thank you.

A very professional, compassionate and caring business where nothing is too much. Both Martin and Mandie made such a deeply upsetting process easier to go through. I highly recommend this company and am very grateful for everything they did.

  • 5 Maria Barnard 24th Sep 2023

    Thank you for making the hardest day of our lives, alittle easier

  • 5 Una Ratcliffe 4th Aug 2023

    New Forest Funerals was recommended to us, and now we know why! The respect that has been shown to both our deceased Mum and to ourselves was beyond compare. They guided us through every step with kindness and understanding, giving us time and never rushing us.

    On the day of the funeral itself, everything was done so beautifully it was carried out with dignity, sympathy and solemnity, and all as we'd requested as a family.

    Thank you Martin and Mandie. I think Lucy would have loved it! She loved a good funeral - and she certainly had that.

  • 5 Alex Farrow 28th Jun 2023

    Loosing my fantastic Mum was the most difficult thing I have ever faced, Honestly I did not know where to start or who to turn to when it came to making arrangements but chose to speak to Mandie at New Forest Funerals, and I am so glad that I did.
    Mandie was very helpful and caring even before we chose to use New Forest Funerals. Once the decision had been made she was so incredibly helpful guiding me through the process and I felt that she was able to genuinely understand what I wanted and what was right for my Mum. It took allot for me to trust my Mums care to someone but had every confidence in Mandie and the team. I will be forever grateful for their support in the hardest of times for me. Thank you! 

    Mandie Pidgley replied
    Alex,
    Thankyou so much for the lovely review, We know how hard this was for you to write and am glad that you felt We understood you and could help make Mum's service what you wanted, it really was a privilege to be trusted with your lovely Mum, We know she meant so much to you.

    Many thanks to Mandie and Martin (and celebrant Julia) for looking after us so well and ensuring my wife's farewell was handled so sensitively and professionally. Nothing was too much trouble and we have had many comments from friends and relatives on how beautiful the service was.

  • 5 Andrea Kehoe 16th Apr 2023

    Mandie and Martin were fantastic and so helpful.  Nothing was too much trouble, and a (very) last minute scramble caused by my lapse in memory to ensure the committal of my mother went beautifully was handled gracefully and calmly. 

    Cannot thank them enough.

    Can't fault this provider. They have been so professional, but always empathetic and gone out of their way to help. Nothing has been too much trouble. They are absolutely the right kind of people to be involved in funeral service provision. I would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Dorothy Aalen 7th Mar 2022

    Very professional, but helpful and understanding at the same time.

  • 5 Becky Ashley 4th Feb 2022

    For what had been the hardest time of my life, was really made so much at ease in respect of organising the funeral. Mandie especially, but mandie Martin and jess make you feel as comfortable as possible in such a horrible situation. Mandie helped with my nans funeral 13 years ago at a different company and then we moved to New forest funerals with her when my uncle passed as she also helped with his and has now helped with my mums. I would never take my service anywhere else. The service is outstanding and there really isn't anything more I could have asked for. Thank you to you all

  • 5 Shaun West 30th Jan 2022

  • 5 Alison Bartlett 8th Jan 2022

    It must be the worst thing in life to have to arrange a funeral of your husband.   However Mandie and Martin were so caring yet professional and made the worst of situations better.  Cannot praise them enough… superb…I would thoroughly recommend them as nothing was too much trouble .  A big thank you although words are not enough
