About the company

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families arranging cremations, coffins and memorial masonry through this Brighton funeral home consistently highlight the reassurance they felt from the first conversation onwards. Customers writing about their orders describe being guided patiently through decisions they found daunting, with arrangements put in place exactly as discussed and the day itself running without visible strain. Staff are repeatedly singled out by name, with Emma, Barbara and Adam all credited for calmness, sensitivity and a willingness to answer questions as they arise, while other tributes mention the professionalism of those who attended the funeral and burial.

The pace of organisation draws particular praise: one family visiting from New Zealand needed matters concluded inside a week and found the timetable met in full, while another account recalls the whole process being made stress free despite unfamiliarity with what was involved. Advice on coffin and memorial choices is described as clear rather than pressured, and the ongoing contact after the ceremony is noted as a source of comfort. A celebrant who led a service is remembered for contributing to a warm and memorable occasion. What emerges most strongly is consistency, with kindness, expertise and careful attention to detail recurring throughout the accounts.

I highly recommend Arthur Denyer, as the excellent service we received from them from start to finish when our nan passed away.The first time meeting the staff, Barbara, Adam and Jake they made a huge effort to make sure that we were all ok and answered any questions we had.Adam and Jake explained everything to us when they had to come to take care of our nan and took great care and dignity doing so. Though out the service they were supportive and respectful, couldn’t recommend them enough.
