★★★★★
My late father was treated with respect and dignity and his wishes were carried out exactly as he wanted. We, his family, were treated with sympathy and understanding and without any pressure to make decisions quickly or beyond what we were comfortable with. I couldn’t have asked for more sensitive support during an extremely sad time. This was our third funeral arranged by Selim Smith and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
★★★★★
We as a family were very pleased with the service received and the care and respect our mum was given. From the first meeting we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much hassle. They made a very heartbreaking time a lot more bearable and her funeral was true to her and exactly how she would have wanted it. We would definitely recommend them to others going through the devastating time.
★★★★★
Chris and the team have been incredibly supportive, kind, and attentive throughout our grieving journey. Their care and attention to detail at every step made an incredibly difficult time more bearable.
We felt gently guided through each decision, and Chris was always there to help without ever making us feel pressured. Every member of the team remembered us, treated us with compassion, and made us feel truly cared for.
Nothing ever felt rushed, overlooked, or too much to ask. Chris took care of everything we needed with calm reassurance and professionalism, even helping us laugh at appropri
★★★★★
everything was taken care of by all the staff but especially Craig who was my contact of all the requests. They steered me through all the aspects of the funeral which went very smoothly. i can't rate them enough for there care and attention.
★★★★★
Couldn't ask for better. From the moment I lost my beloved mum to cancer, Selim Smith were there for us. Every step was explained with every care and detail. Emails and contact was maintained professionally and everything about the funeral was made crystal clear and effortless in terms of the organisation. All of the staff had great empathy and nothing was too much trouble. We are very grateful to Chris for his time and efforts at a horrible time for the family. The same also to Ian Hanks (civil celebrant) who delivered the eulogy. I will not forget their empathy and kindness. I would say that
