Very impressed. Compassionate and professional service for my Grandad's funeral in Harwich. David and his team really thought about the detail and went above and beyond - thank you!

I cannot praise this wonderful company enough for the outstanding quality of service delivered to me, regarding the funeral of my mother. From first contact through until after the funeral, Sue was patient, compassionate and kind, ensuring that I had all of the information I needed. On the day of the ceremony, Dave and his team also did an outstanding job, once again showing patience, kindness and the upmost respect. Thank you so much for making an incredibly difficult experience, that much easier by the excellent service you provided throughout.

At such a difficult and life changing time, you need the reassuring support and understanding of the team at H&D Independent. The care, compassion and understanding shown to us can never be repaid.
This team are outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. They go above and beyond. Most importantly, when leaving my precious mum- Denise- in their care, I knew that she was being treated with respect and in the same way the team would treat their own loved ones.

From the moment I first spoke with David, the service our family received from Harwich & Dovercourt Independent Funeral Service was nothing short of superb.
David in particular is so kind, calm and professional and his attention to detail was incredible. Sue was always quick and considerate when we need to contact the office, and nothing was too much trouble with every little detail being taken care of with no problems whatsoever.
On the day of the funeral, the team took great care of the entire family, especially older relatives who needed a little extra time and assistance.
We really coul

We are indebted to Dave and team for all of their support to my brother and I when our Dad passed away in April this year. Their professionalism and attention to detail in organising Dad's funeral were massively helpful at a time when we really needed expert advice. They patiently guided us through the complex formalities and the decisions to be made with great sensitivity, picking up on what was important to us and helping us to make the occasion the best it could be. We would thoroughly recommend their services.
