Highly recommend the Wilde Family funeral directors. I was given an appointment shortly after my mum passed even though we had not received the death certificate from the hospital. I met with Kristy and she helped guide me through the process and was able to book our ceremony at Charnock Richard Crematorium on the date we requested. The whole team were amazing on the day and have been there any time I have needed to ask questions. Many thanks Joanne Hamilton

I really want to express my deepest gratitude to all of the team for your exceptional care, professionalism and compassion you have provided after the death of our lovely mum and Nanna. From the moment we spoke to you over the phone, you were incredibly understanding, offering guidance and support every step of the way. The service you provided for mum was thoughtful, to a very high standard, beautiful, and truly perfect. The attention to detail, along with the calm and caring demeanor, made the entire process as seamless as possible. We really couldn't have asked for a better team to handle such an important and emotional occasion. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Amazing professional service-they looked after mum and then a couple of weeks later looked after dad. They made what was such an emotional time so much easier to bare. Nothing was too much trouble-no request too much. So efficient,knowledgeable and abv all patient. Cant praise them enough.

Dear Wendy, Lucy & Staff Thankyou so much for the dignified arrangements for Gareth. Every aspect of your care, compassion and professionalism is much appreciated. You listened to and carried out our wishes and requirements with understanding which in turn made a truly difficult time much more bearable for all of us. You communicated with us at every stage and the celebration was exactly what we had hoped for. We have had such lovely comments from the many friends and family who came. Thank you for recommending Andrew Belshaw. He was so professional and took the time to listen to our stories about Gareth and made a wonderful tribute to him from there. People thought that he must have known Gareth personally and were surprised that he didn't. With sincere appreciation.
