Real Reviews from Families Across the Isle of Wight
"I cannot recommend Life Funerals highly enough"
"From the very first phone call, Life Funerals showed a level of compassion and understanding that made an incredibly difficult time feel just a little more bearable.
Alex listened, cared, and he treated our family — and our loved one — with genuine dignity.
Alex balanced professionalism with genuine warmth, ensuring that our wishes were honoured and that the entire process felt personal and meaningful. At a time when we needed steady support, Alex provided it with grace.
I cannot recommend Life Funerals highly enough. Every detail was handled with such thoughtfulness, and nothing ever felt rushed or transactional.
Their support allowed us to focus on saying goodbye, knowing everything else was in safe, respectful hands. We, as a family are deeply grateful for the kindness Life Funerals showed us"

"I wish Alex's service had been available 7 years ago"
"Today I visited Life Funerals on Daish Way Newport. My appointment with the owner the lovely Alex , was to talk about my dad’s ashes. My dad passed away 7 years ago and only now do I feel it’s time to let him go.
Alex made me feel so comfortable, and he makes a nice pot of tea, too. He listened to me talk about my dad and was so understanding and kind, he helped me make a decision, a decision that has taken me years to make on my own..
I would 100% recommend Life Funerals. I wish Alex’s services had been available 7 years ago.
I still would have been heartbroken, but I feel that I may have coped better with the help and services that Alex is offering.
I have to add also, that the new premises is so warm, calm and inviting, it’s just so right. Well done Life Funerals and thank you"

"He didn't just look after our Mum - he looked after all of us too"
"Alex at Life Funeral went above and beyond for our family during the most difficult time of our lives.
From the very beginning, his care, compassion, and professionalism were second to none. He didn’t just look after our mum with the utmost dignity and respect — he looked after all of us too. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he guided us through every step with kindness, patience, and genuine understanding.
Alex has an incredible way of making you feel supported and reassured, even when everything feels overwhelming. His attention to detail and the pride he clearly takes in his work truly shine through, and thanks to him, we were able to give our mum the most beautiful send-off.
We will be forever grateful for everything he has done for us.
I cannot recommend Alex and Life Funeral highly enough"
