Compassionate, Professional Care in a Difficult Time

From start to finish we were treated with the utmost sensitivity, compassion and professionalism during a very difficult time. Julie handled all the arrangements with care, clear communication and a calming presence, she made a hard situation much easier for our family. Chris Howell, the celebrant, led the service with dignity, warmth and perfect timing, and the entire funeral team were respectful, attentive and reassuring throughout. We are deeply grateful for the thoughtful support and excellent care shown to our family and would highly recommend Lodge Brother to anyone in need of compassionate, professional service

Wonderful service from Lodge Brothers

Following my Mother's death, all the staff at Lodge Brothers were fantastic. Sympathetic, thoughtful, positive, and with an unerring ability to understand what mattered to us as a family, and what didn't in planning the time after her death, and then the funeral. Every family must be different in this way, and I'd trust all the staff I met to help anyone at this difficult time.

Lodge Brothers in Weybridge treated my mum with great respect and dignity from the moment she passed.
Jo in the Weybridge office was caring, sympathetic and professional through every interaction with our family. She made the whole process, which seems daunting when you have just lost a loved one, as easy as possible through her knowledge and empathy.
Sharon, who managed things on the day of the funeral, made sure everything went exactly as planned through her calmness and professionalism.
Overall the whole family felt very grateful to all Lodge Brothers did for my mum and us.

Regarding my mother Violet May Woolveridge 26/10/26
interred by Lodge Brothers at Borough Cemetery Richmond upon Thames, 23 October 2023.
My mothers presentation was poor and shoddy in the chapel, asked to bring in clothes but on seeing her only the top half of her was showing, she looked scrunched up in the coffin, hair unwashed, i know because i know what her hair looks like clean, too much wax on her mouth i could not apply lipstick that was offered. The celebrant was told of my requirements which were not fulfilled to my request, and i had a phone call from the Thames Ditton branch days before the service about music that the celebrant should have dealt with, the undertakers were first class, i believe the head undertaker was Paul.

We are sorry to read that you remain unhappy with aspects of the arrangements for your mother’s funeral.

We appreciate how important it is for families that every detail is handled with care and sensitivity, and we are sorry that aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations.

The concerns you have raised in this review were brought to our attention following your mother’s funeral in 2023 and were fully investigated and addressed with you at that time. As these matters have already been considered and responded to, we do not believe it would be appropriate or helpful to revisit the individual circumstances on a public review platform.

We do, however, appreciate your kind comments regarding our funeral team and, in particular, Paul, and we will ensure these are passed on to him. Kind regards Robert Lodge

In times of desperation when my mom was dying , I was confused, worried and emotionally drained
as soon as I entered your Sunbury branch and spoke to Mia, I felt as if a mountain has been shifted off my shoulders
The calm, professional, knowledgeable and empathetic attitude and reassurance that there will be no problems
Ready to contact and arrange things on my behalf (cemetery, council and all)
When it happened I had this trust already established and everything went to plan very sleek operation on the dot everything was taken care of even the smallest detail
Also after that with the monorail plans same smooth and sleek operation from your branch in Ashford
I really appreciate the respect and humanity and the perfect service that you provided
Thank you all for your brilliant service
May God bless you all

Highly Recommend

From the first phone call to the funeral service itself we were treated kindly and professionally by the staff at Lodge Brothers. Shannen in the Esher branch gently explained everything to us and guided us through every step of the process. The staff who collected my husband and those we met on the day of the funeral were all very compassionate and did everything they could to make things easier for us. I have no hesitation in recommending Lodge Brothers.
