Support and kindness

Green Willows and in particular Alison were supportive and guided us with kindness and compassion through this difficult time. Little details that were important to us were carried out and nothing was too much trouble. Alison did everything to help us and was easy to talk to and helpful.

Our wishes were respected and the staff went over and above to help with the delivery crisis concerning our different choice from a coffin.
Alison and Adam couldn't have been more helpful and supportive.

Grateful to Tom and the team for the support

At one of the most difficult times in our lives, Green Willows provided my dad and I not only a highly professional service, but also genuine compassion, care, and understanding that made all the difference in dealing with mum’s funeral.

From the very first call, Tom and the team treated us with such kindness and sensitivity, guiding us gently through every step of the process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt listened to and supported. Tom’s calm and reassuring presence, attention to detail, and heartfelt empathy gave us comfort. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and his thoughtful approach and personal touches on the day of the funeral were very much appreciated.

Thank you to everyone at Green Willows for making a very difficult experience a little easier. Your kindness won’t be forgotten.

Excellent Service

Mum had a funeral plan with Green Willow ... we had originally moved from another funeral service who we found sadly lacking in many aspects when they conducted my father's funeral 14 years ago.
And, how glad I am that we did. Louise at the Malpas, Newport, branch supplied a truly caring and very professional service, any problems I had she dealt with straight away, making sure everything went smoothly on the day. If the service provided at other branches is anything like I received at such a difficult time, then I would thoroughly recommend Green Willow Funerals.

Exemplary experience

From the moment we first engaged with Alison at Green Willow we were treated with kindness, respect, and patience. This will always be a difficult time in anyone’s life and to be treated sensitively is paramount. Alison made sure we knew what our options were, how me might best get the experience we were hoping for, and guided us where we needed that guidance. We were always aware of what needed to be done when, and knew exactly what to expect on the day itself. On that day, I can only say Alison and the team were exemplary in how they managed the proceedings. We can’t thank Alison and the team enough.

A Perfect 'Goodbye for now' for our amazing Mum!

We used Green Willow for my Mum's Funeral arrangements and they were extremely professional, caring and willing to go the extra mile. Tom made sure that every detail was just as we wanted it to be, he even recommended a brilliant local company to print the order of services our daughter had designed. It is so rare in 2025 to find a company who is so careful to put the customer first; we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Green Willow to anyone who are seeking a caring and reasonably priced company to cater for all their needs when they are looking to honour and serve their loved one for the very last time.

A big thank you to Angela and the Green Willow team for guiding us through this difficult time. We had many questions and all were answered with understanding and kindness.
Also knowing that the company's Charitable Trust supports children's activities was important to us.

Professional and caring

Alison and the team in Heath, Cardiff were efficient, professional, and caring throughout the process.
Our situation involved a repatriation from overseas and Alison co-ordinated with the international funeral director to bring my wife home.
We actually DIY'd much of our funeral, but felt well supported by Green Willow for the everything we weren't undertaking.
I feel fortunate that my most local funeral director also happens to provide an excellent service. I also appreciate that the business is a social enterprise.
Easy recommendation based on my experience.

Alison and the team at GreenWillow provided an excellent service from start to finish in helping us organise our Mum’s funeral. Very kind and compassionate taking Mum into care and helpful in making arrangements just when you need guidance at such a difficult time. Alison was very responsive to queries & feedback, including one week when she was on holiday. Led by Alison, the service went beautifully with the team’s help & organisation. As a family we were really grateful. Tom was also helpful in the office & Paul very kind when driving us to the service & wake. We would certainly recommend GreenWillow as a company.

First class

Angela and her team led us through this sad and upsetting process in the most caring and kind way possible. All the staff both in the leadup to and on the day couldn't have been kinder, more respectful or better organised, and the day went smoothly and provided a beautiful send off for our mum. Highly recommend them, and additionally they are a socially responsible business that gives back to the community and charities which is a lovely touch.

Alison and the Green Willow team were fantastic in every department. Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing was too much trouble.
Alison was very professional but with humanity that me and my brother very much appreciated.
Even though Alison was away for the service she made sure everything was in place and went smoothly, Tom and the team on the day were spot on.
On behalf of my family I would like to thank the Green Willow team and particularly Alison.

Could nt have done any better!

Alison and her colleagues were absolutely brilliant during the whole process of planning and the day of my Dads funeral.
It was well planned with consistent feedback through the planning phases. Dealt with a major issue as the original celebrant dropped out through ill health. On the day the team were excellent, made us all feel at ease and to get in the spirit of celebrating Dad’s life, ahead of the service. Guided us well during the carrying of the coffin etc and made sure we got to the Wake comfortably.

Alison - thank you and more

My family and I were recommended Green Willow for my mother's funeral and would whole heartedly recommend to others. Alison supported us throughout the whole process and very much so on the day of the funeral - the process was so calm with her extensive knowledge and also so caring and supportive. No query was too much trouble

Passing of mum

Alison and the team were very professional from start to finish and clearly have a lot of experience dealing with bereaved families with empathy and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble, and on the day of the funeral we were not put under any pressure whatsoever, even though a lot of the organisation is very time sensitive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Greenwillow!

Excellent Service

Firstly I would say that I can recommend Green Willow Funerals without any reservation. The service provided by Alison and her team was second to none. Alison herself was compassionate and so well organised that our family had total confidence in the company. Recommendations for the florist and Celebrant were also perfect. We would like to thank you as a family for making the funeral of our mum a lovely lasting memory.
