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.

Gooding Funeral Services offers funeral services for families in Doncaster who require organised, professional support at a difficult time. Our role is to manage funeral arrangements with accuracy and respect, ensuring that each service is planned carefully and delivered as agreed.
We support families arranging funerals following a death, as well as those who wish to plan in advance.
When a death occurs, families in Doncaster are often unsure of the next steps. As funeral directors Doncaster families contact during this early stage, we provide clear guidance on what needs to happen first before any arrangements are made.
This includes explaining initial requirements, outlining realistic timeframes, and helping families understand what information will be needed to proceed.
Once families are ready to move forward, we take responsibility for coordinating the practical aspects of the funeral. This includes:
Each step is discussed with the family before arrangements are confirmed.
Funeral arrangements in Doncaster involve local crematoria, cemeteries, and council procedures that can affect availability and scheduling. We coordinate directly with these local services to ensure arrangements align with local processes.
This local knowledge helps families understand what is possible and supports realistic planning.
Families in Doncaster may wish to arrange funerals based on religious beliefs, cultural traditions, or personal values. We support religious, non religious, and culturally specific funerals, planned in line with family wishes.
Where required, we work with officiants, faith leaders, or service providers to ensure arrangements are appropriate and respectful.
Funeral planning often involves unfamiliar decisions. We provide clear explanations of available options, costs, and processes, allowing families to make informed choices without feeling rushed.
Our discussions focus on clarity and understanding rather than directing families towards particular services.
Our involvement does not end once the funeral has taken place. We assist Doncaster families with post-funeral queries, including guidance on documentation and practical matters that may follow.
Where appropriate, we can also provide information about external bereavement support services.
If you need support from experienced funeral directors Doncaster families rely on for professional and respectful care, Gooding Funeral Services is available to help. Contact our team to discuss immediate arrangements or to speak about funeral planning in Doncaster.
