What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families in Leicester who have arranged funerals for parents, siblings and other relatives describe a consistently professional and compassionate service from Abbey Oak funeral services. The care taken over every detail is a point that comes up often, with arrangements handled smoothly and staff making visitors feel comfortable at the parlour, where nothing was considered too much trouble. Named team members, among them Donna, Linda, Robert, Ria, April and Hayley, are mentioned for their kindness, respect and attentiveness, both while plans were being made and during the funeral itself.

The personal touches carry on beyond the ceremony: reviewers note that the team remembers loved ones years afterwards, and one family was pleased by floral tributes that went beyond what had been requested. Another recurring theme is the way the pressure of arranging a funeral was reduced, with each wish heard and acted upon. The same firm has been chosen by several members of the same families, and an ashes interment was also conducted with care. It is the respect shown throughout that families return to.

Thank you for everything you did for us, nothing was too much trouble, and the service was exemplary. April, Ria and all the staff from the funeral prosseion were so professional, respectful, and caring. The flowers were also amazing. We asked for something a little different, and you delivered way beyond our expectations. Thank you again for helping us say goodbye to our father, grandad, brother and friend. The Finch Family.

Very professional service combined with so much kindness and understanding. I had a funeral plan for my late sweet mother who sadly passed during this terrible time. They made me feel comfortable going to the parlour, visiting mum, nothing was too much. Donna & Linda were lovely also Robert and team on the day of the funeral, Many thanks guys for making an awful time bareable. Xx We had mum's ashes interred today (21/5/20) I realised I had forgotten to mention minister Pam Haynes who conducted both services and put so much emotion into the services and it felt like she knew mum personally, I can't thank her enough for her kind words she is an amazing minister.
