What our families say about us.

Some feedback on our services kindly provided by our families.

From start to finish Willows provided an outstanding, personal service. Kelly was so friendly, efficient and sensitive and we could not have asked for more from Ashley whose gentle approach was so comforting. Our dear dad was treated with such respect and dignity. The entire team were incredibly kind and compassionate. I cannot recommend Willows highly enough. They made a very difficult time so much easier and we will always be very grateful. The little extra touches and thoughtful comments really made all the difference.

With sincere thanks to you all from the Grace family.

From the time that we contacted Willows independent funeral directors about the demise of my wife, and possible funeral, the response to our enquiries was nothing but positive and helpful. The friendliness, caring and unbelievable sympathetic approach, at such a difficult time, was amazing. The varying plan costs, and procedures, were all explained in great detail.

On the death of my wife, Willows Funeral Service collected her body from our home, at the agreed time. This was done discreetly, and in a very private and professional manner. When my wife was held in the Chapel of rest, at Willows Funeral Service, we were able to visit her upon request. On subsequent meetings with Ashley, the process of choosing a plan, and its cost, were made extremely easy, and each time was fully explained. At all times we were given a written cost progress. This followed, for example, meetings to plan the type of coffin, the flowers, the timings of the mass at a local church, and the cremation. Ashley and Paula made and confirmed all necessary arrangements, which allowed us to concentrate on personal matters. They also arranged our required announcement, such as the daily Telegraph, the order of service, and memorial cards. This was brilliant because it took responsibility off our shoulders knowing, with confidence that they were dealing for us with the utmost care and attention within a time frame. The arrangement for cars, made easy because of the huge choice available, was all perfect and fitting.

On the funeral day the cars arrived exactly on time, shining and very clean, with courteous and smart drivers and attending pallbearers. They kept a discrete distance but were there every moment of the way if needed. The planned timetable worked perfectly from home to the church, from the church to crematorium and from the crematorium to the reception. A day well planned resulted in a very satisfactory outcome for the family, at a good price.

I really believe that Willows Funeral Service must be the best undertaker in Eastbourne. We could not fault them in any way. They are dedicated to their business and care for the bereaving customers. I would certainly highly recommend them to others.

Without doubt five stars.

Thank you Willows Funeral Service for making what was a very sad day so perfect.”

I just wanted to write and say a big thank you to everyone at Willows for the fantastic service we received from your company regarding Micks funeral.

From my first conversation with Karen, through to Paula’s continual support and then Ashley’s presence on the day, I don’t believe we could have wished for anything more.

It was a very moving experience and you were all very caring. Thank you again.”

Just wanted to thank you and Karen and Paula and all your staff for such a wonderful caring service you gave our family on Thursday 28th and the lead up to the day. Not having to stress about whether everything had been taken care of was a great ‘Peace of Mind’ at such a sad time.”
