EXCELLENT Based on 28 reviews Posted on Melanie McCarthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't express in words how brilliant, kind, thoughtful Drew and Son have been to myself and my family on losing my dad. From the first call I made on the evening he passed to every small detail we wanted. This family run business is truly amazing. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you Steve Harry and Karen. From All of Chris O'Reillys family xxxPosted on _ AnonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Drew family provided an excellent service. Highly responsive to queries etc, made a good recommendation for the crematorium, and were happy for us to opt out of some of the more expensive elements of the service that we didn't feel were necessary (though their pricing compares very favourably with other FDs - they weren't the first we looked at). My step-mother was also very happy with the service and described them as very professional, caring and discreet. Their celebrant, Sue, additionally did a great job, and her work is clearly a passion. She was kind enough to drive us to the funeral venue in advance of the service in her free time (not something her modest fee covers).Posted on JillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Drew and Son have been absolutely brilliant. I can not praise them enough. They have guided me every step of the way and made this very difficult time easier for me. Nothing has been too much trouble from beginning to end.Posted on Amanda NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Steve, Karen and Harry enough. Very personal service, nothing was too much trouble with excellent communication throughout the planning stage and care and attention on the day. Highly recommended family company who made the whole process much easier to deal with. Many thanksPosted on Sue SowerbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a professional Funeral Celebrant I spent time researching to find the ideal Independent Family Funeral Directors to partner as I was keen to work with a truly family owned business. I came across Drew and Son based in Essex, arranged a meeting and was so impressed with their level of service, attention to detail, their whole attitude to the way they engage with families in such a personal, dignified and respectful way that I am now a committed member of the Drew and Son funeral team.Posted on Rachael SearTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
