Especially Amy who looked after us from day one .Even the hug she gave me on the day of the funeral meant so much.
I highly recommend this company for anyone who needs to arrange a funeral for a loved one.
They will be treated with care and compassion I guarantee it.

It is such a sad time when you've lost someone you love but the help, support and professionalism provided by Jonathan and his daughters made a difficult day go as well as it possibly could. Their kindness and compassion shown throughout was exemplified by even small personal touches such as - my dad was a steam train enthusiast and Jonathan and his team organised putting up a wall monitor in the chapel showing a picture of a steam train crossing a viaduct so emotional but so apt and thoughtful - my dad would have loved it. My mum, sister and I wanted to show our appreciation for everything they did for us; we really didn't have to worry about anything - everything was taken care of and it all went incredibly smoothly. We therefore want to say a huge heartfelt thank you to them.  We are so glad we chose this company and can't recommend them highly enough.

I genuinely can't begin to thank Jonathan, Abby and Amy enough for the most personal, caring, thoughtful and attentive service from the moment my Father passed away. Every act of extraordinary kindness, and attention to detail, will stay with me for the rest of my life. The Howell Family are utterly exceptional people, and truly made organising my Dad's Funeral as stress free as it possibly could be. My Mum, daughters and I can't begin to recommend J Howell and Daughters highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Jonathan, Abby and Amy SO very much.........

Our family would like to send our sincerest Thanks to the entire team at Howell & Daughter’s.

The care and attention given to my wife’s father throughout his final journey, and the support to the family made one of the hardest times of our lives go as smoothly as we could have wished for.

Thank you all so much.

This is the second time that we have used Johnathan Howell & Daughters.

On both occasions they were professional, empathetic and took the time to listen to what we wanted. They guided us through the process and ensured that everything was organised and ran smoothly.

Thank you all for your care and compassion.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Jonathan Howell & Daughters for the superb undertaking of my husband’s funeral. It was a very emotional time and from the moment I made contact everything was carried out with empathy, dignity and professionalism. I was kept fully informed throughout the process and nothing was too much trouble. I felt comforted by the caring attitude shown to me during a very difficult time and wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan Howell & Daughters to anyone sadly losing a loved one.

We recently used J Howells for my Mums funeral and burial, I cannot thank them enough for the amazing job they did from the moment we approached them. All staff were so friendly, supportive and professional, we really could not have asked for more at such a difficult time especially with the impact of COVID-19. I could not recommend them enough, they really took such pride in their work and made us feel at ease. Being a family run company meant we could really make the day special, fabulous service thank you Jon and your team.

My Mother in law died earlier this month at the nursing home she was in .
I had heard good things from a few people and read the reviews .
i rang and spoke to Amy one of the daughters.
She was so helpful and within an hour rang to say that my mother in law was "in there hands."
They organised everything and kept us abreast of what was happening at all times .
yes i did ring 2 other funeral directors and i consider this family business to be excellent value and very professional
even after the funeral they rang us to say that the ashes were "in there care" and ready for collection .and yes she was my mother in law,but as i write this with a tear in my eye
im so grateful we chose them
Thanks to all of you

A truly caring place.

Jonathan and daughters arranged both of my parents funerals in a relative short space of time. Nothing was too much trouble, and it was the attention to detail ie wearing shooting ties which personalised the whole experience. Giving both parents a perfect send off helped my grief. I thank Johnathon and staff. Keep up the good work.

Howell and daughters were chosen by my late mother as the funeral directors of choice.
As a family we have had no prior dealings with the company to judge performance by.
Like yourself I wanted only the very best for my loved one and as Howell and Daughters for 3 years (as of 2014) as independent directors my research into them did not reveal much to assess them with.
As per my mothers wishes Howells were entrusted with taking care of proceedings.
The phone call we all dread was made. Shortly after I was greeted at my mothers home by a smart polite gentleman Mr Jonathan Howell. Neither Jonathan or his assistant were the stereotypical somber faced clammy personnel associated with the trade. Somehow they have the balance of expression spot on and made me feel fully at ease in there presence. Initial paperwork was completed and arrangements made for a second visit to discuss our individual requirements.
My meeting with Jonathan was relaxed though remained formal. Questions were asked in such a way as to cause minimal distress and all the required information was gathered from what seemed like a general chat rather than a hard faced questioning.
The day of the funeral could not have run more smoothly.
The immaculate hearse Jonathan and his team arrived right on time.
Smartly dressed as you'd expect Jonathan came to our door
It was obvious who was actually directing the funeral by the highly polished cane and top hat. Both items I have seen left out by other directors in the past.
Upon arrival at church I was discreetly kept informed of proceedings and what was coming next. The reason for this was I had asked if I could shoulder my mothers coffin into and out of church myself with the assistance of Jonathan's expert team of bearers.
There was an additional bearer present on standby should I have changed my mind at any point.
The whole process from that initial phone call up to saying our goodbyes on the day of the funeral was made so much easier thanks to Howell and Daughters professional team.
I would personally recommend that you entrust your loved one to Howells care and remove most of the stress from your most difficult time
