Although my review is simplistic it comes from the heart. Without A H Freemantle's Park Gate & Titchfield offices I could never have got through what was and always will be my darkest hour. Thank you... See more

Faultless service - thank you so much

Faultless service from Sarah and the team at the Titchfield branch. Thank you so much for everything you did for me and my family. You made a very difficult experience much more bearable and we are forever grateful for that.

Made a horrible task bearable.

Jane has proven she is extremely good at her job at this very difficult time. She remained very professional throughout and nothing was too much to ask. Thank you everyone at A H Freemantle for what you have done.

A H Fremantle a wonderful, caring funeral service

I have just used A H Fremantle for the funeral of my husband. Loosing my husband was the worst thing that I’ve ever had to face, but choosing AH Fremantle to deal with it all was the best decision I could have made. Their kindness, professionalism and excellent all round service is something I will never forget and will be forever grateful. Thank you Jane and all of your team x

Faultless

James and his team, who I deal with regularly as a church organist, were very professional, sensitive and efficient. I could not fault them. They are, in my opinion, the best in the area.

A local company which provides a quality service with compassion and care.

We used Freemantles for my dads funeral. We dealt with Claire at the Botley branch and from the outset we were treated with kindness and compassion. Claire was both efficient and professional, she explained everything in a clear way and made sure that we were happy with everything that was going on. I felt confident that everything was being dealt with and that things would run smoothly, and this proved to be the case. Claire ensured that my mum's wishes were followed and all of our requirements were met. I fully recommend Freemantles for a personal, compassionate and friendly service. Whilst I hope not to have to use them again any time soon, it is good to know that they are there when needed.
And it's also worth mentioning that I think they are good value for money. Thank you to Claire and the team.

I would recommend AH Freemantle to everyone. They deserve every one of the 5 stars in the rating. James visited me at home to organise the funeral when my husband passed away and was so respectful, caring and empathetic. We had the funeral that my husband had asked for, and I was able to add my personal requirements as well. The funeral was very dignified and exactly as I wanted, and there wasn’t a single thing out of place. Thank you James, for making the most difficult of days a little easier to bear. Gloria Fisher.

A H Freemantle provide an excellent service- highly recommend!

A H Freemantle are an excellent funeral directors. I had never organised a funeral before and did not know what to do, or where to start. Sarah and the team compassionately and professionally guided us through the whole procedure, going above and beyond at all points. Sarah sensitively offered support and advice on everything, helping us decide practical details but also personal decisions about visiting a loved one. I really appreciate her help and support throughout a very very difficult time. Thank you Sarah! You're wonderful!

Kate was utterly brilliant from start to finish during the sad and exhausting process following my Dad's death.

We managed to do the funeral very quickly and there is absolutely no way we could have done so without her.

There are so many things to consider. We wouldn't have known where to begin.

She regularly went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled both efficiently and sensitively, which I imagine is a very rare combination.

Seemingly always available, Kate felt like a confidante at the toughest moments, with her reassuringly pragmatic yet warm and sympathetic manner.

We also asked her to officiate the funeral, which she did with a sincerity that is impossible to fake. She took time to gauge the perfect tone for Dad's funeral, rather than opt for a one-size-fits all, detached approach.

Everyone who attended has since commented on how good she was.

I can't imagine what we would have done without her and the whole team at Freemantle. It's tough to be organised when you're emotional and exhausted, but they held our hand through every step of the way.

Extraordinary service, and further to the thanks I gave during my tribute to Dad, thank you Kate, and thank you Freemantle.

Very sadly I lost 3 very close members of my family over the course of last year (2018). My children and brothers and sisters were so grateful to be able to use A H Freemantle on each occasion. It was so nice to be able to have a familiar face to help us through what was a very difficult year.

Wonderful staff who treat you like family

The staff here treated my Step-Mum and I like family. They took care of everything, kept us updated every step. The courtesy call to let us know Dad was with them, whilst only a small thing, meant the world. They treated Dad like their own and clearly looked after him. The surroundings are comforting and homely. The co-op central morgue would've been so upsetting for us.
They even host a Christmas service for clients every year. This comes at an expense to them, however their only goal is to offer comfort to those grieving.
Without the help of AH Freemantle, the already traumatic experience of losing my Dad would've been infinitely tougher.
Cost was never a question, we wanted Dad looked after. I'd have taken a loan out if need be. However I was shocked to receive a quote at least £2000 cheaper than I anticipated.
I would recommend anyone trust these lovely, beautiful, kind people to look after their loved ones....and them.

Thank you

Organising a funeral is never expected to be a joyous task and most people have very little knowledge of what it entails. However, Freemantle's make the entire experience as seamless as is possible, providing exactly the right amount of support and empathy. Most importantly, they listened to everything that we didn't want, so that my father got exactly the send off that he would have wanted.
I cannot recommend more highly.
