What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Nottingham families who have turned to this funeral director describe a service built on genuine care and respect for the person who has died. Louis Crawley is named repeatedly for the dignity he brings to arranging cremations and funerals, with several customers noting the comfort of knowing their relative was in safe hands. Victoria also receives warm mentions for the reception given to visitors. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the precision with which the funeral day itself is organised, from timing to the small unexpected touches that families remember.

The team is described as friendly, professional and willing to accommodate difficult circumstances, including bringing a loved one back from another city for a cremation locally. The chapel of rest, where personal music was played during a visit, is recalled as a source of solace. Reviewers highlight how much easier the toughest decisions became because of the guidance offered before and after the service, and how nothing seemed too much trouble. The family-run character of the business is mentioned alongside its established reputation, with customers expressing gratitude for the personal attention that made farewells feel truly special.

If I could give zero stars I would. I went to visit my father’s grave 10 plots down and was told by the owner to move as he had a funeral. I would understand if I was making noise but I was picking dead flowers off the grave. The owner is highly insensitive. Not the fact that the funeral was also for someone I know

I recently visited this lovely family run and well established business in Nottingham, on behalf of Medical Communication Services following their invitation to be featured at our partnership with Nottingham University Hospitals. I was very impressed with the reception i received from the Manager, Victoria. This Funeral Director is deserved of it’s excellent standing and reputation and we look forward to working with them and hopefully featuring this business around the hospital for the benefit of the patients, visitors and NHS Staff.

Losing my brother at the age of 23, made us feel like our whole world fell apart. knowing my brother was in safe hands getting looked after brought me and my family comfort, louie took my brother in and made him part of his own family, Louie did really go above and beyond for us. And I can’t thank him and his team enough for everything they did for us in such a devastating time. The support and kindness we received is unmatched, the service was so special and I’m going to be forever thankful for giving my brother Krystian a beautiful send off, which I hope he is proud of too. People like Louie make this world a better place. I don’t think 5 stars is enough for L.J Crawley & sons.

Crawleys provided the best care for my mother during the time she was placed in the Chapel of rest to the funeral service and cemetery. They did their upmost best to provide the best service despite the restrictions put on them by the Covid19 lockdown. They are all supportive and are available to those who need them throughout and post funeral. All are treated with dignity throughout. An excellent A++ service xx
