What a way to go...

What could be a maudlin, depressing experience turned out to be professional and hilarious.

Everything explained clearly and Phil Clews clearly got my fatalistic "I'm dead, not my problem " mentality!

Great service and one off the list!

Following the recent passing of my uncle, who had raised me, a client suggested Crystal Cremations for the funeral arrangements. Having no prior experience with this, I found the Crystal team exceptional in guiding me step-by-step, ensuring I was always updated and managing the funeral and cremation with the highest respect and dignity. My family and I truly appreciated their outstanding service and empathy throughout such a challenging time. Many thanks.

Stress free

We’re getting to a stage in life where we felt we really needed to take any pressure off our children & grandchildren regarding our future.
Having spoken to the team at Crystal Funeral Planning, and receiving the full options available to us, in simple, straightforward language, I can’t praise their professionalism and understanding enough. It’s a genuine relief knowing things are now in place for our future. I honestly don’t know why we waited so long.

Excellent Service and Support

Excellent Service and Support

I recently purchased a pure cremation plan from Crystal Funeral Planning, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From start to finish, the process was straightforward, transparent, and handled with professionalism.

The Crystal Team took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I fully understood my options without any pressure or hidden costs. Their compassionate and knowledgeable approach made what could have been a difficult decision much easier.

The affordability and simplicity of the pure cremation plan gave me peace of mind, knowing that everything will be taken care of when the time comes. I highly recommend Crystal Funeral Planning to anyone looking for a dignified, hassle-free funeral solution.

Sarah did a home visit to discuss and completed our Wills and LPA

Sarah did a home visit to discuss and complete me and my husbands Wills etc.
Sarah was very easy to talk to, explained our options and answered all our questions. My husband and I decided we would complete LPA paperwork as we both felt this is very important to have in place after experiencing my dad not having it and the complications of dealing with finances . We really liked Sarah’s down to earth approach and there wasn’t any pressure put on us or hard sell to purchase the products available. I would definitely recommend Sarah and the company to anyone. We also found the cost of the products and service much less than expected especially after discussing with friends what they had paid with different providers.

Thank you

My uncle who brought me up, recently passed away and a customer of mine recommended I try Crystal Cremations to handle his funeral.
I had never done anything like this before and from start to finish, the team from Crystal guided me through each stage of the process, kept me fully informed as to what was going on and handled my uncles funeral / cremation with the upmost dignity and respect. The family and I couldn't ask for better service and understanding than what they provided for us during this difficult time.
Thank you

We found Catherine from Crystal Creations to be a very friendly, efficient and approachable woman who explained things very well and put our minds at rest over the creation of our wills. She revisited us again to go through the funeral plans which we found very useful when deciding which plan would suit our needs best. We would definitely recommend using Crystal Creations. Thank you Catherine for making it so easy for us.
