What Our Families Say About Us

Thank you so much for all your guidance before and after my husband’s passing. It made a difficult situation that bit easier, and everyone has said how well the funeral service went, which is down to you and your professionalism.

Dear Denise,

We want to thank you for everything you did for Mum’ funeral.

Mum was treated with such dignity and respect – all of which she thoroughly deserved!

You helped us all navigate a really difficult and emotional time; the hugs were welcome too!

Please pass our thanks onto the rest of your team as everyone treated us with such kindness.

Thank you again.

Dear Denise,

Just a short note to say thank you for the immaculate service you provided for the funeral of our precious Daughter.

It helped us so much to make the whole process so much easier.

Thank you sincerely.

I would like to send a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your incredible service and support following the passing of my mum. From start to finish, your care and professionalism was impeccable. My mum being such a strong independent lady would have appreciated greatly seeing a lady at the helm of her service and in Cornish colours too. As her daughter, I felt similarly inspired by this, and our walk together down our village lane in front of the hearse was something I will never forget, nor will the whole service be forgotten which you helped us bring to life so beautifully despite our complex requests with services both in Devon and Cornwall. Thank you, Denise and your whole team, for the wonderful work you do, that makes such dark times in people’s lives that bit easier to hold in good grace.

I would like to mention some local businesses who have been utterly amazing since the passing of my lovely Mum.

Firstly, Denise Wellington of Denise Wellington Funeral Services – the warmest, kindest, and most wonderful lady.

She dealt with everything with the utmost professionalism, but also with such love and I genuinely felt like I had a friend there on the funeral day.

I am immensely grateful and couldn’t recommend you more highly.
