The family & I were so pleased with all your help & support from the moment J passed until the end of his service at Worthing Crematorium. We were first impressed with the sensitive way J was collected, then made to feel welcome when we called. You were so helpful when we were planning his funeral, making sure everything was covered to our satisfaction & guiding us through the process. It was your attention to detail that made sure everything went smoothly. On the day, many of those attending commented that the service was lovely and just what J would have wanted. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful & sad time into a relaxed & uplifting goodbye.
Thank you again, definitely a five star service from start to finish.

We would like to express our gratitude for the support & professional was Safe Hands helped us to find the perfect tribute to our much loved Dad.
Penny was extremely helpful with all the arrangements & guided us with great sensitivity throughout this difficult time. We feel we have had a personalised service from Safe Hands and would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Penny for making our day special to remember Sue Graeme & family.
We highly recommend Safe Hands very very highly. From start to finish Penny and her colleagues have treated us with great care and sensitivity. Our mother died just before the outbreak of the Coronavirus and it has therefore been particularly challenging to deal with arrangements for the funeral. Penny has kept our spirits up throughout the process giving positive, reassuring guidance as to all aspects of bereavement and the related arrangements for Mum in a professional, respectful, dignified and practical way. She has taken the pressure off us and Safe Hands is a very well chosen name as we really have felt safe in her care. Thank you Penny

On behalf of myself and my family - My Dad sadly passed away recently from Covid-19. We were fortunate enough to find Penny at Safe Hands Funeral Services who helped and guided us through arranging Dad's funeral at this incredibly difficult time. Penny is so kind and thoughtful and was always available to talk to us. The chapel was lovely,it was bright and warm and had a really comforting feel to it. There was only 5 of us that could attend but Safe Hands arranged a special Zoom meeting where wider family and friends could join us. We cannot thank Penny enough and would thoroughly recommend Safe Hands. Thank you Penny. From Amanda, Paula, Mish and Nikki xxx
