re:Christopher Field
I recently used the services of Chris as my partner of over 40 years passed away this year.
I found Chris to be caring compassionate and very easy to talk to, he conducted the service with emphapy and understanding, and despite never having met my partner his speech at David's funeral seemed to me like he knew him.
I was recommended to him and I would highly recommend Chris.
He is very approachable, and has good listening skills. He conducts his work with a timely and
organised approach.

Mr Christopher Field
I first met Mr Field after the death of my mother (aged 97yrs) following a short stay in hospital (Rother area) during the Covid outbreak of early 2022. At such a great age her death was still a surprise and made more upsetting due to lack of ability to visit her during her last few weeks and ascertaining any information on her condition during the stay.
Whilst making arrangements the funeral director put me in contact with Christopher Field as an experienced celebrant. I do not live close to the Rother area and initial contact were made by email and Zoom meeting(s). These meetings were most informative about the procedures for the service at a local crematorium not having arranged one before.
Discussions were centred around timings and process and how a celebrant made this a smooth process taking the pressures of the occasion away from the family when required. In this case as an only son I wanted to give a eulogy relevant to the family present. Clearly, Mr Field was aware of this and that in the moment this may not happen as planned, but it was reassuring to know that he would take over if this happened. Much of this was discussed via Zoom meeting(s) and a two way email exchange of my proposed eulogy and music choice and how this fitted in the timings for the ceremony.
Given my distance from the area I had confidence in Mr. Field and that the occasion would pass as I wanted. The first face-to-face meeting was on the day of the funeral he met with my family and assured us that all was going well. He conducted the service, gave an introduction, stood in readiness during the eulogy which I gave, and gave a great summary to round the occasion.
Sadly he could not attend the wake due to work load, but played a great overall administering role for the service, the immediate family, and several friends and acquaintances.
At a time of both sadness and stress he managed the situation well.

I cannot thank or recommend Chris enough. Chris very kindly stepped in to carry out my father's funeral celebrations and made everything so much easier and smoother. His kindness helped us all through such a difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I will give 5 stars for patience also. I found Steven very thorough and he answered all my questions in great depth and replied immediately to my queries.. I will certainly recommend him to my sister (who is abroad) to go through him if she decides to take legal action.

Considering I only sent what I deemed to be a half hearted request by email for advice, the fast and effective response I had from Stephen help steer me in the right direction, this led to helping me to get the results I was looking for. I still have a way to go but I'm now further forward on my task then I ever would have been had I not sent my email.
Even today when I was expecting an "out of hours" notification, Stephen responded within the hour, amazing !!
Keep up the good work.

I received an immediate response from the Probate Department (Brokers) to my plea for help in navigating the immensely complicated government website. I had already written 2 letters to the government department without response, and been held waiting 45 minutes on the phone, before being cut off altogether. Armed with the Probate Dept's advice sheet, I tried again to obtain what I needed and received 2 email replies within 24 hours, one confirming my request was being actioned and the other saying I should receive the document within 10 days! Thank you The Probate Department (Brokers) Ltd. My sanity is restored!

Contacted for help, very knowledgable and friendly. I would 100% recommend as a direct solicitor wanted to charge me £660 + VAT to help with very basic initial questions but this company are obviously not just in it for the money which is very refreshing! Keep up the good work.
