Haseldine Funeral Services Funeral Directors Bedford & Milton Keynes Reviews

Professional, timely support during one of life’s most stressful occasions. Mr Haseldine and his staff were supportive and courteous throughout the entire process and always helpful when we had questions and concerns. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone in the area in need of funeral services.

Wonderful service, with bells on! From when we first contacted them until the funeral-nothing was too much trouble- they organised everything , explained everything and just got everything sorted which allowed us time to grieve. Perry was always available and responded quickly by phone and email and the whole team were friendly and efficient. The cars were great and the printing of the order of service perfect. I had put it together and they proof read it, not once but twice, meaning it was all perfect on the day. I work with printers all the time and never have I had such an excellent experience. Thanks you for making a difficult day so smooth and efficient. Would whole heartedly recommend.

We lost someone unexpectedly over Christmas, and Perry guided us through the whole process with kindness & common sense. He dealt with our many requests patiently and we simply couldn't have done it without him.

Thankyou Perry for your help, advise and support at what is always a difficult time. Veey highly recommend Perry and his team, who were very accommodating and generally a pleasure to deal with.

Perry new what we wanted and the day went very well. Perry helped us choice items for the service and helped us through the whole process. Would recommend Haseldines for your loved ones.

Perfect Send Off Perry and his team at Haseldine’s organised my husband’s funeral. Everything went very smoothly, communication was excellent and the whole event was exactly as I’d wanted it to be. Perry made a difficult time a little easier for which I am very grateful. I would definitely recommend Haseldine’s.

Excellent service throughout, nothing was too much trouble and the service went without a hitch. Very reasonable rates with the highest professionalism. Thoroughly recommended.

Perry looked after our daughter he was kind and compassionate and being able to spend time with our daughter in the Chapel of rest was a huge comfort to us, especially as a lot of the local funeral directors said no due to Covid. He made the worst time in our lives a little easier. We could not recommend Perry enough.

My Father-in-Law passed away in Nov 2020 in Bedford hospital. As anyone who has gone through this would know that dealing with hospital and Registrar formalities during this pandemic is quite daunting and time consuming. Making Funeral arrangements is equally difficult in these difficult times. To this end our lives was made so much easier and comfortable by Perry of Haseldine Funeral Services. Trying to make arrangements from London over the phone, I was a bit hesitant at the beginning to go with a smallish company, but after talking with Perry I knew Haseldine was the perfect choice for us. Being the owner of the business, Perry was very very flexible with our needs. He was very transparent and as a person he is very polite and understanding of the grieving families needs (something we would not have got with larger companies). What I liked about Perry is that although this is a business to him, his overriding No1 PRIORITY AT ALL TIMES is the family he is dealing with and their needs. He was very accommodating, helpful and guided us all the way. His knowledge of Hindu Funerals is excellent and his planning arrangements were perfect. Nothing was too big or too small for him. He was always very responsive via phone, text and email. His costs are very reasonable and money settlements are the last thing on his mind. In fact I had to push him to give me his Bank details so I could transfer money to him! After having dealt with Perry, I like to consider him as a friend now. He is very caring, honest and very reliable. Thanks Perry for all your help & support.

We recently used Haseldines funeral services and I am old school , they’re service and respect for my dear mum was impeccable. I would recommend them 100%

I was recommended by my sister to try Haseldine Funeral Services and from the moment I entered the door I understood why! Perry, the owner, is calm, smiling, reassuring and easy to be with. The Covid 19 measures were exemplary. He explained the funeral plan very clearly to me. He talked through the options and costs very carefully and was thoughtful, a good listener and patient, but also very charming. He was happy to talk about other issues and to help me to select eg music and poems, googling any information about a song or poem's names I needed. He even researched catafalque for me because I wanted to know it's derivation! Such service. We chatted and he showed me around the chapel and the cold rooms, demonstrating orally but not actually how things worked. I even saw his funeral suit and hat. Who else would spend that amount of time with a customer and continue to be totally professional throughout. You do not get this sort of personal touch from the big two funeral services! I know because I have used them previously. Thank goodness I found you, Perry and thank you very much for your time and assistance. I feel my funeral is safe in your hands and you answered all my questions (and there were a few!) with quiet ease and a peaceful air of authority. I recommend this Funeral Service to anyone and everyone. Kind regards, Maggie C

I picked Haseldines off the internet and I couldn't be more grateful that I did. My poor Mum, Jean, died at Bedford hospital of cancer and due to Covid-19, she had no visitors or goodbyes. I am in Texas, 5,000 miles away, and had never had the sad fortune of planning a cremation before, much less from such a distance during a pandemic. Perry was amazing. He was patient, and kind, and understanding. He went well above the call of duty to assist me in getting information I needed for the Registrars and listened attentively as I explained why I felt a direct cremation was the best choice under the circumstances. It was a difficult decision since my Mum lived her entire life in Bedford and had many friends, but there was no judgement from Perry. During the entire process, Perry communicated with me and kept me up to date during every step. I chose Haseldines because it was listed as a family business and my instincts proved to be spot on. THANK YOU Perry for making one of the worst times of my life go as smoothly as such things can, and making me feel my Mum was important to you! Eternally grateful xoxoxo

I cannot recommend Perry and his team highly enough, if I could give 6*'s I would. From my first enquiry Perry responded quickly and efficiently, listening to our requirements without trying to upsell and respecting my daughter's Buddhist requests without question. I know I wasn't, but Perry made me feel as if I was his only customer, and when you've lost a daughter young, that's hugely appreciated. Thank you Perry.

Your work was on 👌. Very professional and would not hesitate to recommend any one for your service. I was so moved and the whole process was excellent. Keep up with the good work xxx

We were more than fortunate to find Perry and his team to assist us for the funeral of our late father. They showed an absolute professionalism and respect. Most of all, in those troubled times, Perry gave us the most unexpected humanity and kindness hence helping us to fulfil the last will of our dad. Thank you very much.

Perry’s service was exceptional during this difficult time. He was very human and caring ensuring that even our traditional burial rites were observed. All our family are truly grateful and thank the Haseldines team for giving our father a perfect send off. Perry and his team were respectful and he was always available whether it was by email, telephone or in person. Their costs were simple and straightforward which is what you need in moments like these. Perry even organized a live link and video through a third party to allow family to join in. I cannot say in words how thankful we are.

Very accommodating and professional. Pleasure to have had you at this trying time. Many thanks.

In the worst of times, you need a funeral director that will help and support you at every turn. Perry was incredibly attentive and supported the requirements of our family with complete care and compassion. He arrived soon after we called in the early hours of the morning and supported us through the various stages of our arrangements. He helped us give our loved one a better send off than we could have imagined. Thank you Perry
