What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Compassion and personal attention from Karen are the themes running through accounts of Artisan Funerals. Families repeatedly describe her warmth, kindness and patience, and the dignity and reverence with which their loved ones were cared for. Services for a father, a cremation following an unexpected death and a farewell for a young man are among the occasions reviewers recall, and each is described as handled smoothly and made as easy as possible. Reviewers often mention the freedom to shape a service that reflected the person's character, with Karen offering practical advice, suggesting celebrants suited to the family and guiding decisions gently without pressure.

Communication features strongly, as families say they were kept informed throughout and appreciated follow-ups once arrangements were complete. Attention to detail, efficiency and professionalism are noted alongside the reassurance her presence provided, and one family recalls that their dog was also allowed to view the body and say goodbye. Reasonable pricing is mentioned by someone who had contacted other providers. The care given to the person who died, and the steady support for those arranging the service, are what reviewers return to most, with Karen and Julie named for running the day itself.

We are incredibly grateful to Artisan Funerals for their compassionate support during the difficult time of losing our father Brian. Karen’s kindness and comforting words truly made a difference, helping us feel at ease while we mourned his passing. She approached everything with such thoughtfulness and empathy, making a challenging time a bit easier to bear. Thank you, Karen, for being a steady and caring presence throughout. We couldn’t have asked for better support.

We absolutely love Karen. She was amazing and we knew our Dad was in good hands with Artisan Funerals. Karen took her time to explain everything to us and gave us total peace of mind. We chose Artisan Funerals for our Dad because we had lost a beautiful friend six months prior. We were so impressed with how Artisan helped the family and friends to celebrate the passing of this young man. It was a beautiful send off so we knew this was the best choice for our Father too.

If I could give Karen 10 stars, I would. She showed such compassion and kindness to my family and ensured my father had a beautiful funeral service. Her professionalism is unmatched. Nothing was too much to ask, and she ensured the entire process was seamless and as easy as possible. I highly recommend Artisan Funerals.

Karen is professional, efficient, kind and caring. I instantly felt better from the moment I called her to collect my Mum. She cared for my Mum with dignity and respect, and made a difficult process easy. I highly recommend Karen, and can guarantee you will receive the best care for your loved one.

When you lose a loved one you are numb, not able to think clearly, often confused about what happens next. This was us. We lost our father and were at a loss about the next steps. Enter Karen from Artisan Funerals. Karen was able to seamlessly blend the matter-of-fact mechanics and the deep emotional nuances of loss to enable our family to move forward while managing to still grieve and respect our loss. Funerals are about loss but importantly they are also about a celebration of life and the recollection of memories share to celebrate their life. Karen’s approach exemplified this allowing us to create a service that was deeply respectful, intimate, and 100% reflective of how my father lived his life. Karen deftly guided us through this process, from the selection of the appropriate celebrant, the choice of casket and flowers, and deeply intimate process of allowing family members to assist in preparing our father for the service. Artisan Funerals is an exemplary example of how contemporary funeral services should be run, and Karen’s commitment and support set her apart from the rest. If you have lost a loved one and want to ensure you celebrate their life with respect, warmth, compassion, and love then Artisan Funeral provides an exemplary example of that service. Thank you Karen for supporting us to farewell our father in a way that we know would have made him proud.
