I cannot fault Rachel and the team. Everything was easy and no trouble, which all helped to give Mum the final celebration she deserved. Thank you.

Theo Booth 20th Mar 2024

Rachel was fantastic from start to finish. She really went above and beyond to make everything as smooth and manageable as possible. She was the reason we ended up picking White's Funeralcare, due to her manner on the phone; and we can't thank her enough. She was amazing!

Robert Small 18th Mar 2024

I cannot recommend the team at whites enough Rachel and her team made what was as terrible time for me and my family  My mother had a prepaid funeral all booked And paid for with instructions for a direct cremation and all her wishes taken care of  Unfortunately on the Friday before. She passed I called the company and was shocked to find that they had gone bust and stolen all the money  So I was distraught that we now had no one to care for mother  I called whites on Friday afternoon and arranged to go see then On arrival I met Rachel and explained my issue  She then organised everything exactly as mother had wished  I was so impressed with her service and care  Mother passed the next day at 6am on Saturday  And the team at whites were on call and Rachel had spoken to them one call and they were here to take mother they. Were so respectful and professional  They made the whole thing easy and gave me every confidence that mother would be looked after  I am so great full for there service  Thank you is not really enough I will always be in your debt  Regards.

    We could not fault Whites funeral directors. Rachel was attentive, caring and proffesional. She made a very distressing time for my family very easy. The funeral directors onn the whole were absolutely amazing. I have already recommended them.

  • 5 David Briant 29th Jan 2024

    Hi Rachel. I was so pleased with everything you and the team done to make mums send off a very special one. Mum would have been pleased too. Thanks so much to all of you 
    All best Dave Briant

  • 5 Simon Rigby 15th Jan 2024

    Understanding. Caring and Compassionate. Relaxed. Inclusive.
    Simple words that mean so much to a family at such a time. Whites delivered on them all.
    We made several changes to the music, flowers and order of service along the way but, it was never a problem and the day could not have gone any better.
    Add to it the Celebrant that was chosen for us and who was excellent in his own right. The day was about my Mum and they all ensured that was the case.
    From the initial visit to the office to the final drop off at the wake, we couldn't have asked for anymore.

  • 5 Douglas MacDonald 8th Jan 2024

    An excellent service was provided, thanks.

  • 5 Irene Cantrell 2nd Jan 2024

    Myself and my family wish to thank you for all the assistance you provided.
    You have all been very kind and understanding, which has helped us to get through this very sad occasion, thank you so much
    From Irene cantrell

  • 5 Ruth Toone 4th Feb 2023

    I have been nothing but impressed by the service from Whites. They were responsive, flexible and, in particular, they listened (and heard). Thank you to Malcolm, Henry and the whole team.

  • 5 Gillian Turner 9th Jan 2023

    I am very grateful for the help that Whites gave to me and my family at a very difficult time.  They were frequently in touch to reassure me about the process, and Henry, in particular, kept me up to date with what was happening.  Thank you Henry, you did a great job.  I would definitely recommend your company.  I did find phone contact from my end rather strange as my initial contact was via the non existent Coop at Midhurst.  This, perhaps could be sorted out?

  • 5 Nicola Robertson 4th Jan 2023

    Very helpful and very quick under the circumstances that I had to get back to Australia.
    It was a smooth process even with a tight timeline to deal with and especially around Christmas! 

  • 5 Caroline Sawers 13th Dec 2022

    Henry at Whites Funeralcare, Chichester was very friendly and helpful. He organised my father’s funeral and everything was explained carefully and questions answered in a gentle and kind manner.  It all went exactly as my father had requested. We were very pleased with Whites’ care.
