I used Godalming Funeral Service on Friday 24th April 2026 and found them to be very friendly and very organised and helpful prior to the funeral. They took away all my concerns and made the process very easy. The order of service was excellent and the day itself ran very smoothly and on time. Paul emailed me very regularly to keep me up to date on everything and always very cheerful and kept me calm. I highly recommend this Company to anyone looking for a very friendly and professional service.

Paul and the team were extremely efficient, compassionate and professional when dealing with my mother’s funeral.
Always prompt responses and helpful advice given if needed.
Sally was our celebrant who was so easy to talk to and also gave us invaluable advice.
I would thoroughly recommend Godalming Funeral Services for their first class service from start to finish.
Thank you all

Paul & Angus guided us through the process with care and compassion. From start to finish, they handled all the arrangements which took a lot of pressure off my family. They were always on hand to answer any questions, no matter how trivial, and their response time was extremely quick. I can’t fault them. They provided a superior professional service. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Godalming Funeral Service, Paul Weightman and his team could not have been more helpful and sensitive.
Thank you.

Godalming Funeral Service were exceptional at a time of great loss for David and his sister, Katie, after the passing of their much‑loved mum, Julie. Paul Weightman, Senior Funeral Director, was kind, empathetic and deeply sincere from the moment David, my partner walked through the door. As David said, it felt like a “marriage” from that first meeting — a genuine sense of trust and reassurance.
Paul made the process of making funeral arrangements far more comforting than we ever expected. Nothing felt rushed, and discussions about cost were handled with sensitivity and practical, honest advice, making what could have been awkward feel completely manageable.
The guidance throughout was crystal clear, and Paul’s recommendation of celebrant Hannah was absolutely perfect. Hannah took the time to truly understand my partner’s mum and delivered a ceremony that was warm, personal and beautifully balanced — respectful yet uplifting, and exactly right for family and friends, with the added comfort that those unable to attend could watch via the streaming facility.
True to their 24/7 promise, we felt fully supported at every stage and that nothing was unachievable. We are incredibly grateful for the care shown and would highly recommend Godalming Funeral Service.

Within a minute of meeting Paul at GFS I was certain that my mum (Julie) would be in safe hands. Where do you start when a loved one dies. Sitting in their office felt rather daunting but immediately Paul simply spoke my language. No ambiguity, a fantastic reassuring manner where he distilled what mattered and what doesn't need to matter. If you want a cheaper option on a particular aspect of the funeral service than he will ensure you know it exists. It's tricky making difficult decisions at the best of time as you tend to over-analyse things, and these guys simply allowed us to think about our role in the passing of our mum rather than getting overly anxious.
We engaged with GFS and not for a minute did i need to wait to get a straight answer on any query.

The service itself was a thing of joy, truly. Paul recommended a celebrant who utterly nailed it. The service was streamed for those who logistically struggled to make it there and they conducted it with aplomb. I've even re-watched the whole ceremony which may appear weird but honestly it's so cathartic.

Getting things right is very important, to do the deceased justice, and we did.

Thank you Paul, Anghus and Hannah.

A huge thank you to Christina, Paul & Anghus, who were endlessly helpful, supportive and reassuring in the run up to the funeral of my mother, shared their wide connections so that all the extra supporting people were quickly in place - organist, soloist, streaming - and utterly professional on the day — everything went smoothly and respectfully. We couldn't ask for more and felt very well looked after. Highly Recommend.

Our family would like to pass on our sincere thanks to Paul and the team who kept us fully informed throughout the process of organising our dear dad's funeral. If you find yourself in the sad situation of needing their services we highly recommend them. A very compassionate service with everything taken care of at a very difficult time.
