Highly Recommended
Choosing this company for my funeral plan was made by their personal service, patience and kindness. From the initial email to telephone conversations were always on a professional level but also with empathy and kindness regarding questions and simple worrying thoughts. The process of buying a funeral plan was very easy with several options to choose from. Highly recommended.

Had no issues at all,excellent service,would certainly recommend this company .ten out of ten
Celebration Of Life were excellent from…
Celebration Of Life were excellent from first contact, right to the end. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a simple, stress free funeral when things are at their worst. They certainly made my life easier and the process was straight forward, and we got to celebrate my dads life at his local pub which he would have loved, very fitting that his name was Col 🥲 My mum has now said she would like to use Celebration Of Life, hopefully that won’t be too soon!
A great experience with this company
A great experience with this company . Firstly went online and requested a brochure . Arrive quickly and everything was explained in full. Has various options to suit the individual. I then called and spoke to a lovely lady and purchased my policy. All very simple and professional . You have 30 days if you need to cancel the policy. A fantastic company with no pressure selling.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Rebecca when I rang with a query. She answered my questions in a very professional and sympathetic manner. Excellent service.
Wonderful company who made a difficult time bearable
Losing my Mum was devastating and dealing with services also was quite traumatic, except for one company- Celebration of life. Honestly, they have been nothing but kind and empathetic throughout the whole process and it went so smoothly. I was kept informed every step of the way and contacted by the same person , which really felt personal and caring. I was so worried about receiving my mums ashes , I didn’t know what to expect but they explained everything - the man who delivered Mum was so nice and friendly, we had a little chat and he let us take our time even though I bet he had places to go- I was in the throes of grief and I cannot stress enough how COL made everything so much easier , one less stress to work out and to be treated so well compared to other places we had to contact like mums phone company etc - I really want this company to know that they made the worst time of my life bearable , I will always appreciate it. Mum chose COL herself as she didn’t want us to have to worry about anything- and I say to her you did right Mum. I have you in your beautiful woodland scene remembrance pod here with me by my bed and we will be together again when it is my time. Thank you COL . I recommend this company to anyone considering this process. From Sarah Aylott
Stress free cremation arrangements
Excellent caring staff who guided me through the sadness. Kept me informed throughout the whole process. Then delivered my husbands ashes personally in a beautiful container
Professional
We couldn't have asked for a more professional, helpful and respectful service. CoL we're very curtious and informative and kept in touch with us throughout. Thank you.
Very professional but......
Very professional, and friendly but more importantly no pressure to buy there and then, infact I was invited to think it over to be sure it was what I wanted - marvellous!
Thank you Celebration of Life.

Funeral Plan

First rate unattended cremation…
First rate unattended cremation service. Did everything they promised exactly when they promised it and even planted a tree. Updated us as to when thing were actioned and completed. Ashes were delivered by a lovely undertaker-person rather than couriered!
Good price.
Would I use them again (which is a bit of an odd thought I suppose) - yes.
Emotionally using a "remote" cremation service was fine, though possibly a little odd not knowing that she was just down the road.
Cremation
Excellent service. The cremation involved had to be organised at very short notice. This company acted quickly and without problem.
Consummate Professionals
Celebration of life were great throughout the process of putting my father to rest. All members of staff my mother and I had contact with, treated us with dignity, respect and the highest level of professionalism, giving us time to focus on grieving. I hope putting another loved one to rest doesn't come soon, but when the time does come I will ask Celebration of Life to assist in the process again.

Very easy to choose the right plan for me. Documents arrived promptly and very informative.
Very much recommend
Absolutely faultless, such professional caring friendly people at a time when you definitely needed it. The whole process has been caring and friendly and without fault
Professional, respectful and compassionate
Thank you for assisting with the funeral arrangements on behalf of my sibling. From the very initial contact I received a very caring response and all requests were sensitively handled. There were no issues at any point and all communication and updates were prompt and respectful. I had confidence throughout that the services requested were understood and that everything was in hand. All staff were very polite and considerate and contributed greatly to ease the strain of dealing with the loss of a loved one.

I chose celebration of life because it had very good reviews the lady on the fone answered all my questions for me and l liked what I heard you also get more for your money than other plans I researched and for a very reasonable price. Was happy with my choice ☺
There was no hard selling.
For me it was the lack of hard selling. I was told that I didn't have to provide a telephone number or email address so I didn't leave either. After that I took my time and nobody was pressing me into anything. I was delighted with their approach. This made my decision easy as well as the reasonable price. I'd previously lost 1,500 pounds to a company that went into administration. So thank you Celebration of Life.
