Absolutely impecible service from start to finish.
From the very first phone call, we were dealt with the utmost respect, sympathy & dignity while dealing with our requests.
Due to events outsde of our control, we needed a very fast funeral arranging & within 90 minutes of our first phone call E F Edwards had arranged it all & confirmed they had managed to liase with the church & crematorium to the timescales we so desperately needed.
Nothing is too much trouble & all the staff involved were calming, reassuring & highly professional.
In such emotional & horrible times, they were there to support us & made sure we had nothing to worry about in sorting the funeral.
Five stars isnt enough...outstanding

Professional and sensitive

The whole experience was made so much easier with their professional and sensitive team. The order of service was outstanding and produced many positive comments from other family members. The spray of flowers they produced for my Grandmother's funeral were beautiful

100% honest and reliable. Thank you Cara!

J Edwards' have arranged 3 funerals for my immediate family over the past 40 years. Always professional, compassionate and with great empathy....whether you're chuckling or crying. Cara you were fantastic for my Mum's Funeral on Thursday 12th January 2023 as were all your colleagues. In good times and in bad. Still going to pop in with a bottle of Mum's best Cava as promised! So get the plastic champagne flutes ready and tell Karen! If I bring Tina we'll be lucky to squeeze on glass each out of it! So, 4pm, someday, it's a date! xx

The service given was first class

The service given was first class, kept us informed and updated at all times, the funeral was brilliantly directed, I do not think there was anything else that they could have done, would recommend them to all I would talk to.

An Excellent Service

As a family we couldn't have asked for a better or more compassionate service. Cara Turner, our consultant, dealt with everything tactfully and with grace. We were extremely grateful for all her help and support during, what was, a difficult time for us.
