Glad to have chosen The Oaks

The staff were kind and helpful and the setting is beautiful and peaceful being surrounded by trees and open spaces at a distance from housing though new homes are being built nearby. We are glad we chose the Oaks.

Dear Mandy Houghton,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We are sorry that you feel asking for a Trustpilot review distasteful, this is not our intentions.

We feel that asking for reviews for all of our sites gives information to our potential visitors that can help make hard and difficult decisions a little bit easier at their time of need.

Kind Regards

Lovely peaceful place

The whole layout, from the ease of parking, to the lovely building. Now the helpful staff sorting the memorial for my husband. The only thing that spoilt it was the usher. He rushed us out of the chapel before the final music was finished even though we were the last service. I've since found out he was from the CO-OP . Maybe it would be better to use one of your staff for this job as they clearly don't care. He was obviously in a rush to get home. Other than that, everyone at The Oaks have been lovely.

Everything was just right

Everything was just right. It was so light , the music was played perfectly when my mum was brought in, the photos was played to the music changing in time . It was such a beautiful view looking out the large window with a calming view and a sense of peace. A perfect place for a beautiful soul to have a beautiful send off.

The Oaks

The staff were kind, supportive and caring. The actual room for the service was clean and bright, the recorded service was well presented. Didn't leave any flowers as others were out in the open and had faded quickly. Would have liked a more welcoming place for relatives and friends to meet to celebrate the life of our loved one.

Efficient without being pushy

Efficient without being pushy, thoughtful and sympathetic but very understanding. Gave good advice and very helpful I was told many times by those attending that it was one of the nicest funerals they had ever attended, in fact several said they even enjoyed it.

A truly calming & beautiful location

The Oaks provided the most wonderful location for my husband’s cremation service. The staff were considerate & respectful, coping brilliantly with the numbers that attended (well over 200) The venue & grounds are well designed & I particularly appreciate the fact that the coffin sits to one side, with the view of the trees ahead of you. This made so much difference to me. Thank you for allowing me to say goodbye to him with such dignity & love.
