I have a lot of thanks to give COL. My mum was suddenly terminally ill and my dad was caring for her, and so it became my responsibility to get a lot of things in line. Mum wanted a non attended cremation, simple, sweet and for family to gather on the day of. As having never dealt with a death personally it was a lot of information to take in for a newbie on after-life matters. After doing some research I landed on celebration of life. My reasons being: Their website was simple and easy to understand. Their prices were the best. And their sense of love for the family and deceased drew me as well as their reviews settled my anxiety regarding a big decision. So the dreaded day arrived and I dialled the number that was clear on their website and the process began. In a moment of shock and sadness they made it clear and simple. Jenny on the phone patiently spoke through the proceedings with me and a few hours later the team turned up to take mum. My twin sister sat in as they moved her and she was beyond impressed with the love shown to mum as though she were still with us. They then sat with us and once again explained what the following steps would be to get things in order to arrange a cremation. Beyond thankful for the guidance. Being 28 I haven’t got the foggiest what to do after a death so their explanations were so helpful to us. We promptly got on with paper work and phone calls and Jenny called me every few days to keep me updated and see how me and my family were doing. My older sister lives abroad and had flown over to be with us for the gathering on mums cremation date. We had a dead line to work to and due to unforeseen delays from the doctors it meant our window for gathering on cremation day was closing. I made my concerns known to Jenny and she promised to do all she could and to our relief mum was cremated the day before my sister flew back out and we were able to fulfil mums wish. We chose not to have the ashes but that they be spread in the gardens. A few weeks later i received a letter and a certificate that a tree had been planted in honour of mum and also a card from the crematorium to say mums ashes had been spread and specifically where should we wish to visit in the future. The personal touch throughout this experience has been outstanding and meant an awful lot to me during a dark time for my family. I have and will continue to let others know about your lovely services and how you have helped us through this grievous situation. Thank you Jenny and team!

Amazing service from start to finish. All my questions were answered without me even having to ask them. Very caring and understanding at a time when distressed and confused. They really put me at ease. Can't fault them at all. The planting of the tree is a beautiful touch. Ashes were returned quickly and handled with great care. Can't thank them enough.

I received my husband’s ashes back today and I cannot thank you enough. From start to finish your service has been wonderful. Everyone from Celebration of Life I have spoken to has been kind and warm and understanding. This is my first experience of a direct cremation and I cannot fault it. It has taken so much stress and trauma out of a sad situation. Both me and my mum will be using Celebration of Life after our own deaths. I cannot recommend you highly enough. Thank you very, very much to everyone involved.

I was delighted with the service provided by Celebration of Life for the cremation of my beloved husband. They kept me informed of every step along the way. The hand delivery of his ashes was very respectful and the planting of a tree for him was the final touch. They made a very difficult and emotional time that little bit easier. I would not hesitate to recommend Celebration of Life to anyone wanting a simple cremation.

Excellent service from start to finish. Took an awful lot of stress away but dealt with my late father with extreme respect. Celebrations of Life kept me updated during each stage and nothing was a problem to them when asked. Lovely to receive a certificate that a tree been planted in memory of my father, it was these little touches that made the process easier for us as a family. I would like to thank all from Celebrations of Life who did everything from the start and the finish a huge thankyou from myself and rest of my fathers family. I would and have referred family and friends to this company. Kind Regards Tracey Marsden

We were more than happy with the service provided by Celebration of Life. All the team members we spoke to were exceptionally personable, compassionate & considerate-taking time to listen to any requirements & concerns we had. We felt completely reassured & would highly recommend. They provided a first class service for an unbeatable price.

Mum wanted a 'no fuss' cremation, and a celebratory church service when she died, and chose Celebration of Life for her cremation. I contacted them and registered Mum's details shortly before her death and their service was exactly as described in their brochure. Everything went smoothly and according to plan, and all contacts with them were friendly, efficient and professional. Very happy to recommend.

My father expressly wanted a ‘no fuss’ cremation. I wasn’t sure, but choosing Celebrations of Life has been excellent. I was told what to expect at every stage. We were able to think about him at the time the cremation took place and his ashes were returned within days. All staff were kind and efficient. The ashes came in a box with a lovely woodland scene and a tree was planted in his memory. We had a wake so that family and friends could enjoy all the memories we had of him. I will be very happy to have this myself one day and I can fully recommend C of L if you’ are considering this.

When my husband died suddenly in the early hours of a Saturday, it was impossible to get a local undertaker to collect his body and a basic cremation and service was going to cost more than £6000. Celebration of Life were kind, but not gooey when I called. An unattended cremation was just over £1300. The private ambulance arrived within 3 hours, despite traffic snarls, and two amazing women deftly got my husband, not a small man, onto a stretcher and down our twisty stairs. I was kept informed throughout the cremation process and accommodated my requests re tricky relatives. COL even returned his ashes to my workplace, as I could not be at home to receive them. Exemplary service all round. Thank you for your kindness and care.

Caring, professional, kind ,helpful nothing was too much trouble when a spur of the moment decision had to be changed . Would definitely recommend them and have done to my family and friends. When collecting mum my sister was very impressed with the caring way they conducted themselves and when mum was delivered back to me the same caring manner was shown . Beautiful pods too to return your loved ones in . Cannot praise the team enough .
