Any recommendations or ones to avoid?
I've had Farthing and Hunnaball mentioned to me - are either of those of particular note? |  |

Having dealt with one funeral, my main advice would be to be wary of the upselling tactic adopted by many companies, whereby they manage to persuade the bereaved to spend more than they want to on a casket etc, trading on guilt. |  |

Not ones to avoid as I have not had much experience. Both my parents were fantastically treated by the Co-OP and my best friends was organised by Hunnables and was a really good send off | | | |

Can give a very strong recommendation for Farthing.
Sorry for your loss. |  | | |

Southgate and Roberts in Ipswich have handled a number of my family/friends funerals.
No up-selling (one of the partners left a very well known funeral directors establishment because he didn't like the up-selling tactics). They promise no hidden costs.
We found them to be very kind and respectful when we organised my father-in-law's funeral. Definitely recommend them. |  |

My wife used to work in the hospice and was always really impressed with the co op | | | |

I’ve used an excellent one in Swansea and another excellent one in Llandudno, if those are any good? Presumably not, but the constant between the two was they listened, nothing was too much trouble and they’d sort anything no matter how small, and the first meeting wasn’t a sales pitch. Meet one or two and go with your gut. As others have said, anyone using it to pitch for upselling rather than 100% concerned about making your life easier is best avoided. |  |

We used the Co-Op (albeit the Cambridge branch) for both of my parents, 25 years apart. They were very good and, I didn't think, particularly pricey. |  |

Hunnaballs did my mum's and they were very good.
Mind you, I can't say I've read a bad review of a funeral director.

It does help if you have a good idea of what you want (agreed among all those doing the organising) before going to the funeral directors. That way you can get them to price up your plan, rather than selling you theirs. | |

If you are anywhere near Sudbury, then big shout out for J Edwards at the top end of North St.
Very very good indeed |  | | |

Hunnaballs did both my mum and dad’s funerals 15 years apart and were very good on both occasions. |  | | |

I used the Co-op for both my parents in two different places, and found them very good. |  | | |

We used Farthings for my mum and then my dad, the latter being January 2024. They were excellent and far better than the people we used in Kent (Francis Chappell) for the recent death of my brother in law.
Not only did Farthings do what was agreed, they did it with care and thoroughness. The lady who dealt with us (a ITFC supporter!) really took the trouble to find out who my dad was which was both a personal touch and good when it came to such things as flowers and attention to detail. Where we needed suggestions, for example caterers, they were very helpful which meant we wound up with exactly what we required.
We’ve also used the Co-op for Mrs Cs aunt in Leicester and they were fine too. [Post edited 4 Oct 12:29]
