A personal recommendation from friends led me to James Hawes and Goodchild and I am very glad it did. They took care of everything with sensitivity and thoughtfulness, responded quickly when I contacted them and followed my wishes carefully. I wish I had not needed to use them but they were a tremendous support at a really difficult time.

My brother Adrian Cheung (25) passed away in a motorbike accident, we appointed James Hawes & Goodchild as his funeral director. The staff were extremely helpful and took care of everything. Funeral arranger Alison Orrow was absolutely brilliant, she was very comforting and went beyond the call of duty to assist us, she always kept us informed, liaise with local authorities and was there to answer any questions we had and guide us throughout this tragedy. Rev. Elizabeth Price led the service, she gave us a home visit a week before the funeral and we worked on the order of service together, friends and family have commented as one of the best church service they've attended as the service was very solemn and The sermon was very relevant to the mourners. The funeral director Peter King and his team were very respectful throughout the funeral, they gave my late brother the respect and dignity he deserved. I couldn't recommend them enough, thank you for giving my brother Adrian a wonderful send off.

James Hawes and Goodchild (Hackney) looked after our dad, and we are so grateful with the service we had. We primarily dealt with Donna and Deanna, however the entire team that we met were lovely. We were met with a lot of empathy, and at such a hard time in our lives, they really put our minds to rest and made the funeral process as easy as it could be. They looked after our dad with so much care and dignity, we truly felt he was in the best hands and we couldn’t have given him a better send off. A big thank you to the entire team at James Hawes and Goodchild who looked after our dad, who answered our questions and who guided us through this difficult process, we are so grateful to you and your kindness will never be forgotten - The Devlin family

Lorraine was both professional and empathetic which made it easy for me to decide on exactly what I wanted. When I also changed my mind about some arrangements Lorraine took this in her stride and was able to deal with the requests.
