"My family and myself would like to send a massive thank to Leonie and Tom and not forgetting little Bella. They all became members of our family from start to finish. They looked after my sadly departed mum throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. They are the most loving, kind, caring, thoughtful people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. NFS come very highly recommended. They are Simply the Best."

"From the very first meeting, Nottinghamshire Funeral Service were courteous, supportive, helpful and professional.

Their respectful approach, whilst managing our arrangements, were testament to the numerous commendations we had received about their service.
Our family are eternally grateful for the way we were looked after throughout the arrangements, the service and especially their attention to detail.
Thank you Leonie, Tom and all your amazing team."

"Thank you Leonie for your patience and understanding at a very difficult time. The grief sadness shock emotional roundabout of emotions which were on a high, sometimes proved difficult but you were able to navigate us through it, thank you. The funeral was absolutely brilliant, horse and carriage lovely so 5 stars from me \may your company continue the good work upwards and onwards continue to be the caring family funeral directors."

"Leonie offered the most personable service and honestly went above and beyond to accommodate us with understanding and compassion. She visited us at home within a couple of hours of contacting her and took care of everything so seamlessly. Cannot recommend enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use again xx"

"From the moment we walked into the Arnold branch of Nottingham Funeral Directors we new we had found the right company to look after ‘dad’.
Leonie showed kindness, care and compassion from our first meeting. We asked her to bring Bella her bereavement dog to our house to meet mum while we discussed funeral plans and this beautiful creature helped us feel relaxed and calm while we made the arrangement.

Nottingham funeral services took care of everything and guided all along the way.

On the day of the funeral everything went exactly to plan, with Tom taking care of everything which made saying goodbye to ‘dad’ so much easier.

We would like to say a massive thank you the Leonie, Tom , Bella and all at Nottingham Funeral Service.

We would highly recommend them to look after your loved one at such at such a difficult time in our lives."

"The entire team at NFS are absolutely outstanding! Everything was done perfectly from start to finish. They are very caring and professional and made you feel like the most important family to them. Their prices are amazing and it shows they want to give a beautiful funeral for an affordable price. Would recommend 100%. They go above and beyond and try to adhere to any request. Leonie and Tom were the 2 people I spoke to most and they were exceptional, but the entire team were outstanding! Thank you for making the day as special as could be !"

"After losing both my father in law and mother in law unexpectedly just before Christmas, Nottinghamshire Funeral Service and especially Leonie have been brilliant. Never having sorted anything like this before Leonie has organised everything with the upmost respect, care and attention. Dad just happened to have kept one of their flyers amongst his paperwork and we are so pleased he did. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Leonie and Tom for being so patient, kind and helpful, nothing has been too much trouble. We will definitely use them again in the future, and will recommend them to all our friends and family."

From the bottom of our hearts thank you." 

"In July 2022 we lost our remarkable Mum. Nottingham Funeral Service were recommended to us so we contacted them. It was such a sad time for our family as you can well imagine. Emma became our contact and nothing was too much trouble, she treated us with respect and kindness throughout the whole process from beginning to end and guided us through.
Then in February of this year we lost  our Dad and didn’t hesitate in contacting Emma again.
For Dads funeral again Emma was outstanding going over and above what you would expect. Because she knew us as a family she knew what we wanted for Dad and yet again did us proud even as far as wearing Sunflowers as a mark of respect for our Dad who Emma had obviously met when arranging Mums funeral.
I would highly recommend them. It is a family run concern which really comes through.
Just exemplary.
Can not thank them enough."
