Testimonials

I just wanted to say thank you to you and your family for the understanding and professional care you gave to us as a family whilst undertaking the funeral of my father.

It  was done with a quiet compassion and we felt that we could ask anything of you and it would be done without any fuss or bother to us at this difficult time.

You made the day run smoothly which took the pressure off completely.

Thank you for everything you helped us with.

The Rowles Family

 

We lost our Dad in October last year. It was a very difficult time for us all to cope with. Matthew handled the arrangements and guided us though the process with an understanding only gained with experience and a natural kindness that can only come from empathy.

With his help and support on the day of the funeral we gave our dad a send-off he would have been proud of.

We thank you for all you did for Dad and our Family.

Mr & Mrs M.D Kirk

My sister and I want to thank you so much for the fantastic service you provided for our Mother and us. In the midst of the initial shock, you gently guided and advised, listened to our ramblings and tears and supported us with such empathy and understanding it carried is through the initial days. Your professionalism and integrity was so evident all the way through the process and we really appreciate the advice about various things we were unsure of, you got things ‘right’ every time whilst we were ‘swimming’ in emotion. Your excellent communication throughout was so appreciated and faultless, made things so much easier to deal with knowing Mum was in safe hands with you, as were we. On the day of the funeral everything was just perfect, it helped us celebrate her life with the confidence of knowing we had nothing to worry about except saying goodbye. Again, thank you! You listened, you cared, you delivered beyond any expectation………. We will be the first to wish you and your family business much success, ‘Our Family to Your Family’ … so apt and so true.

Matthew looked after my husbands funeral and final wishes over the month of January. He came to visit myself and my husband at the local hospice to make pre arrangements and answered all of our questions no matter how big or small. Nothing I asked or needed was too much. Matthew spent a lot of time with me when I needed it the most. Slowly talking me through the days ahead leading up to the funeral. Everything my husband had asked of him he did. It’s not very easy to trust someone with such a personal and painful part of your life After only meeting with them once ,but I did instantly. He was very calm and kind to my two young boys. He treated my family with respect and grace throughout the whole process. I would only ever use Matthew and his family again if I ever needed to. To know that someone is looking after your loved one as if they were their own is everything. The day itself ran very smoothly. The whole family were professional and friendly, very patient and caring towards everyone they met. Thank you so much to the Potts Family.

Turned to Matthew for help after my father-in-law's own arrangements for donation of his body to medical science fell through at the eleventh hour, leaving us very distressed and unsure of what to do. Couldn't have asked for a kinder, more sympathetic and caring response. He took care of everything and lifted a great burden from the family's shoulders at a time when we most needed help. Absolutely first class service and couldn't recommend Matthew A Potts highly enough.

Your professionalism, integrity and dignity on the day shined through, we cannot thank you enough.  

We are so very pleased that we used Matthew A Potts & Sons and cannot recommend this wonderful local family business enough.
