I can’t thank Elaine at Phillip Ford and. son enough for arranging and carrying out my mums funeral . From start to finish we were treated with kindness and compassion and even a smile and bit of humour when appropriate.
We never felt hurried or pressurised into makings decisions moreover we were supported and guided to choose things that reflected mum and her life.
The whole day was everything we hoped it would be and we had so many compliments about it. We also believe that mum would have loved it.
I would definately recommend Phillip Ford and Son/Dignity as a quality, trusted and compa

Exceptional service provided by Elaine at Philip Ford, Stroud.
We know that Funerals are carried out daily by Philip Ford, but we felt genuine empathy during the sad loss of our dear Mother.
The handling of our loss was second to none and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The whole process was seamless.

We have always used Phillip Ford Funeral Directors for our family over many years.
They are always professional and respectful in handling such delicate matters around loved ones going into their care. Elaine who handled my late husband's cremation very recently was very professional and so kind and caring and covered every detail with efficiency and precision. I can recommend them to anyone looking for funeral services.

My dad was only 59 when he passed, and Philip Ford helped us create such a beautiful service that reflected him as a person.
Victoria listened to us and answered every question I had, whether it was big or small. I cannot thank them enough for the support through what has been an awful time.
The order of service was personal, the celebrant was wonderfully chosen and the flowers were beautiful. I cannot thank them enough.
★★★★☆
Very efficient , very smooth organisations . Very corporate . Felt lacking in compassion and commercially driven . It came as a shock to be chased for almost full payment before our dear mother was laid to rest . This was something our bank had not experienced before . Whilst arrangements worked brilliantly and individual staff were professional- I could not recommend if you are looking for a a more caring company happy to wait for payment chasing until after the funeral has taken place . This had certainly been our experience with other companies - unless they too have changed .
