They allowed us to decorate my daughter’s wicker coffin with ivy and were receptive to all our quirky ideas, such as each family member putting their own flowers into the greenery spray, during the cremation service. I would recommend Gooding to anyone, for their friendly, and professional approach throughout what would otherwise have been such a difficult time for the family.Posted on Jane SiddersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We unfortunately needed the assistance of Goodings after my Dad sadly passed in January 2025. Sonia was caring, kind, and compassionate during this very difficult time. She handled everything promptly and professionally. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sonia and Goodings for their care throughout the whole processPosted on Dal SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Gooding Funeral Services highly enough, and I want to give special thanks to Sonia Hunjin for her incredible care, kindness, and support during one of the hardest times of my life. Sonia helped me create the most beautiful funeral service for my wife, Lisa Riches, and I will forever be grateful for the compassion and professionalism she showed throughout. From the very first conversation, Sonia was not only deeply empathetic but also highly organised and attentive to every detail. She truly listened to my wishes and helped turn them into a service that reflected Lisa's life and spirit perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble, and her warmth and genuine kindness made an impossible situation feel that little bit more manageable. Sonia and the entire team at Gooding Funeral Services were a source of constant support. They guided me through every step, explaining everything clearly, and making sure I felt confident in the decisions being made. Their professionalism was outstanding, but what really stood out was how much they cared—not just about getting things right but about me and my family as people. The funeral service itself was beautiful beyond words. Every detail was handled with such grace and thoughtfulness, from the personal touches to the respectful way they managed everything on the day. Sonia went above and beyond to make sure it was a true celebration of Lisa’s life, and it felt so personal and meaningful. In such a painful and heartbreaking time, I felt truly supported and cared for. Sonia’s dedication, friendly manner, and unwavering kindness were a light in the darkest of moments, and I’ll always be thankful to her and the team for helping to honour Lisa in such a special way. If you’re looking for a funeral service that offers exceptional care, professionalism, and heart, Gooding Funeral Services is truly second to none. Thank you, Sonia, for everything. You made a difficult time that little bit easier, and I will never forget what you did for us.Posted on Chantell RichesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The amount of gratitude towards the team that helped me with such a heavy time cannot be expressed through this review. Those who worked closely a special thank you. I’m purely writing this as they deserve all the flowers for the care they offered and provided. The service they provided was a gift in itself to say goodbye the best way they could. The support before and after, again the amount of gratitude cannot be expressed through this. I just want people to know how much they care for those who are here and those who aren’t, in any circumstance. The team showed genuine and intentional compassion. They truly empathised and offered me an opportunity to say goodbye in a beautiful way so I could heal and move forward. They are truly good wholehearted humans who genuinely care, I see and appreciate you.Thank you again for everything. With love.
