What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Funeral direction carried out with professionalism and compassion is the service that runs through the accounts left for this Sheffield company. Rebecca and Warrick are named repeatedly, with several customers describing the reassurance of handing over arrangements and having every question answered. Something that features in review after review is the guidance offered through each stage of preparation, from the initial contact to the day itself, including practical advice on the hospital and registry office procedures.

Families who had used the firm previously for other relatives returned without hesitation, and the personal touch given to each funeral is singled out, with one contributor noting that their mother was cared for as family would have wished. Warrick is described as outstanding on the day, ensuring proceedings ran smoothly, while Rebecca is praised for warmth, patience and keeping relatives informed throughout. Reviewers also mention the kindness extended to the wider family, the professional bearing of the team and the way difficult decisions were handled with tact. Repeat custom across generations features in the feedback, as does the care taken over the person who had died.

Hoylands recently looked after my brother & were very supportive. Rebecca & Warrick are great to deal with, nothing is too much trouble. They have looked after 5 of our family now over the last 23 years & it's like dealing with friends. Thank you X

Our mum Thelma, passed away recently and we had no hesitation in contacting Rebecca, Warrick and the team to arrange the funeral. After all they had done us proud on 2 previous occasions. It was a very difficult time but we handed all the arrangements over to Rebecca and she very kindly sorted everything we needed to give mum the send off she deserved. From our initial contact, Rebecca kept us updated with the proceedings and nothing was too much trouble. The day of the funeral was perfect, everything was so efficient, caring and compassionate. The day couldn't have gone more smoothly, even the weather played nice. (Although, I think that was out of the team's hands). Once again we would like to thank with all our hearts Rebecca, Warrick and the team for giving mum the best send off possible, and making the whole experience stress free. Also, thanks to Carol for the lovely service. To finish we would whole heartedly recommend Hoylands to anyone who has lost a loved one. Sue, Les, Gwen, Debbie and family.

They recently did my mother's funeral and they were very good. Couldn't have asked for any more in terms of professionalism and kindness. They were also very helpful with all the details.

I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful family run business. During what was an extremely emotional time, we felt reassured that our mum was in caring hands. We were guided gently through the whole process and we knew we could be confident that the day itself would be everything we wanted it to be. I would highly recommend.

The care, compassion and attention to detail is second to none. This wonderful professional service is more than just a service. It is steady supporting hand to guide you through what would otherwise be a distressing time. I cannot thank Warrick, Riana and Rebecca enough for their help and friendship, and for taking care of our lovely mum. Everything on the day went so smoothly and this is very much down to your care and support. We appreciate you so, so much. Thank you, Helen & Family
