I can't praise the Bicester branch of Oliver & James enough, especially Robert who helped me through a very difficult time, and to make some of the most difficult decisions for my husband's funeral I have ever had to make. Nothing was too much trouble, he kept saying it's fine take your time. A big thank you to Robert and the rest of the team at Oliver & James for their help and kindness right from the start. They have all become friends and not just a someone who arranges funerals.

Amazing service, I can't praise Rob enough, he has been outstandingly supportive and has guided me through every step. I really can't rate any higher. A professional service from people who care. Thanks Rob

All went very smoothly following our first meeting with Lauri O'Brien. The celebrant appointed by L Hartness (Maria Holman) took great care to discuss with us what we would like the service to be, and also what my late Father would have wanted.

We arranged a funeral through L Hartness recently and were really pleased. Jayne and Laurie were both very kind and helpful in guiding us with the arrangements and keeping us informed. I would highly recommend them as a local funeral director.

My grandmother, grandfather, mother and my farther were left in their care . I can't unpack all of it here but, not one of these experiences are in anyway ok. Avoid. It was a family habit to go to them
