Testimonials
We are always keen to recieve your views on the service that we have provided. During the years we strive to provide services at a level that only a truly independent funeral director can provide.
My brother and I would like to thank you, Wendy, Ian and your staff for such a wonderful funeral for my father, Barry Taylor. From the outset the team at Ian Wilde, led by Wendy and Ian, were so lovely and supportive and guided us through the process gently but efficiently; whether this was collecting our father from the home in the early morning hours, our meetings and conversations about the funeral arrangements, creating the Order of Service booklet or ordering flowers. All undertaken very professionally and with kindness and compassion. On the day itself, the funeral was conducted with such dignity and poise; we were all made to feel very comfortable in emotionally difficult circumstances. Many of our Parent's friends said how very lovely the funeral was, and that my father would have been very proud of us all. Thank you so very much for the significant part you played in this. Diana

***Impeccable Professional and Compassionate Service*** We had specific time frames / blessings to be catered for, being a Hindu Cremation. Totally professional service from the whole team at Ian Wilde -- particularly calm and considerate discussions with Mr Ian Wilde himself -- nothing seemed to be a problem or issue, even when timings / funeral schedule needed to be amended only a few days before the cremation and also on the day. I cannot thank the team enough, who went above and beyond, to ensure everything went according to plan and on time, without the need to rush at all, when the schedule for the cremation day itself, involved blessings / Hindu rituals at other venues before the cremation service itself. Mr Wilde was very comforting in ensuring we were at ease on the day, constantly letting us know that all arrangements / timings were nothing to worry about at all and fully under control -- Mr Wilde, particularly was very reassuring on the day (with our tight time schedules, stating "there is nothing for us to worry about at all, I've gone over the whole schedule / timings numerous times last night, so don't worry, that's my job". He was very reassuring, calming and comforting at the time of greatest need. Myself and my family cannot put into words how this helped us get through a difficult time / day, our family and religious needs were fully respected. We cannot recommend Ian Wilde Funeral Services enough for the trouble free and professional service to the highest standards, absolutely and totally 100% service from the team that they provide. Even when contacted numerous times on multiple occasions with questions / queries we had. 100% does NOT do them justice, they went way over and beyond that for us and our needs, nothing was too much trouble. Having never had to organize a funeral before, and Ian Wilde Funerals already being recommended by a relative, I can honesty say that I don't think anyone else would provide a service, as personal, professional, with all family / religious needs completely appreciated and organised, by the Funeral Team, leaving our family to mourn the loss of our beloved father, without having to also take any responsibility for any of the above. Our thanks go out to all the team, for giving our Dad the absolute best service and send of, that he would enjoyed and wanted, all the proceedings were perfect. Thank You, Ian (You should be very proud of the calming influence your presence brings to such a difficult day, and you should be very proud of your whole team)

We used Ian Wilde to organise my father's funeral. He as church warden of st. Leonard's church has always rated Ian the best. We found the service and especially Kirsty kind and sympathetic. We were guided through the process, and it was as stress-free as possible under the circumstances. i particularly found the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Wilde at the ceremony a comfort. Many thanks to all the staff from the Moore Family.

We always wanted Ian and Wendy after using them many times for extended family funerals. During Covid they looked after my aunt and recently my Dad. The team are exceptional in all areas, compassionate and caring. Lucy is amazing and you feel you have found a friend. I will always use this family firm whenever the sad need arises. Nothing is too much trouble. Thankyou so much.

Ian and his team did an amazing job in organising my Aunt's funeral. It was from using Ian Wilde's for my Uncles' funeral that we opted to do the same for my Aunt after the caring, professional and person-centred service we received. The team made us feel very supported with what is already a very emotional process. I would very highly recommend Ian Wilde's Funeral Directors and would like to take this opportunity to Thank the Team very much for their compassion, and the personalised send off my Aunt received.

My Fiancé died suddenly and unexpectedly and having sadly recently attend another funeral and seeing how amazing Ian Wilde’s team were , I turned to them without hesitation. They were amazing and supported me with everything, they coordinated everything and took the worry away. They were kind, caring, respectful, considerate and thoughtful every step of the way. I felt I was held in safe hands. They could not have captured my wonderful amazing fiancé any better and really helped me honour him with his final send off. Lucy, Kirsty, Ian and Wendy , truly thank you for making the most difficult and traumatic time in my life bearable. Thank you 🙏
