We cannot thank Scott and the team at A. R. Adams enough for their support and truly professional service when dealing with the passing of my Father, husband to my Mother. Nothing was too much trouble and Scott was always available to ensure everything ran smoothly. The organisation from start to finish was unhurried, with every detail covered. The process was a very traditional approach, which would have made my Father proud. Especially the point where the staff stood outside the building and bowed heads as we passed. The day went perfectly, handled by Neil, and the traditional service with recommended celebrant provided a fitting tribute. Venue suggestions for the wake were well received too as we didn't know that area. The handling of ashes, again, managed very well. Thank you again, Maureen & Stuart.

The care and consideration extended to us by Scott and the Team was exceptional. Their respect for my late husband as well as ourselves never faltered throughout our journey. Thank you for making a difficult time so bearable. We will be forever grateful. Corinne Gill and Family XX

I have never had to organise a funeral until we lost our dear Mum in September 2020, we were understandably heartbroken and also feeling very ‘lost’ and it was a shock to realise that in the midst of our grief and sorrow, we needed to organise everything almost immediately. We don’t live locally where Mum was in a care home, so we weren’t aware of any services in the area. In our unconsolable state, we contacted Scott at A R Adams and to this day, I am so grateful for that decision. Scott and his wonderful team were utterly professional at all times but also immensely friendly, personable, comforting, understanding and willing to guide and help us through every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble, even though Scott must answer the same questions for everyone, all the time, you wouldn’t have known it by his care, consideration and patience he always showed. Scott and his team were willing to ‘go the extra mile’ to make Mum’s farewell very personal to her and us as a family. I really don’t know how I would have coped without Scott’s gentle assistance throughout the process and his expert knowledge and advice on so many matters. So much so, that when we lost Dad less than a year afterwards, Scott and the team at A R Adams were there for us yet again to ‘hold our hands’ through the sad process, making the difficult time more bearable by supporting us through every stage. Thank you so much for your care. The Walsh Family

I have recently used the services of AR ADAMS Funeral Directors in Rayleigh for the funeral of my elderly mother. I have known the company staff for many years and I am aware of their professionalism, care and commitment to detail. This is a reason why the company was voted UK Funeral Director of The Year in 2015. Scott and his staff were friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. They handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed in the difficult area of death. The day we had to come and make final arrangements and choose the coffin for Mum was very difficult. But we never felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual. All the logistical items were clear, and they took the time to explain everything in detail. They definitely took our feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated. AR ADAMS Funeral Services showed great respect and care throughout. Whenever I had occasion to contact Scott and his staff prior to the Funeral for whatever reason, they were very responsive and provided the information I needed right away. No hoops to jump through or multiple calls to make. I highly recommend them. Thank you AR ADAMS! , you truly made a difference during such a difficult time.

I recently used A.R.Adams for my mum's funeral and would recommend them very highly. Bradley was attentive and patient and helped me through everything. They weren't pushy at all but offered advice when I asked for it. On the day the team handled themselves very professionally and respectfully. I couldn't ask for more. I am aware of other families who have used their services and all speak highly of them.

We used A.R. Adams (Funeral Directors) for my dad’s funeral which was last Tuesday 31st Aug. My family were so overwhelmed by the way they handled everything always keeping us informed as to what was going on and what we needed to do. They helped us so much over this awful time keeping things as stress free as possible for us. On the day of the funeral my mum who has problems with mobility and is not in best of health chose to stay in car at the cemetery as was all to much for her and the lovely gentlemen who carried the coffin and drove the limousines kept checking mum was ok and they stayed with her while she sat in car to give her courage and comfort. Would recommend them 100%, fantastic service on what is an awful experience that we all have to face one day but made so much easier with A.R. Adams.

I have certainly no hesitation in recommending A R Adams to anyone wanting personal and very professional service, which we had from start to finish. Our special thanks and appreciation to Scott for his involvement and help at all times, nothing was too much trouble. They certainly went the extra mile to ensure the Funeral for my daughter was absolutely perfect.

We can't fault A.R Adams for the service they provided for my Dad's funeral. The respect they showed to us all but especially to my Mum on the day of the funeral was greatly appreciated. Trevor was very kind and went out of his way to be helpful. We would happily recommend you.

Not only did A. R. Adams handle such sad circumstances efficiently, effortlessly, they also made dealing with a difficult situation as agreeable as possible. Scott was always kind and always thoughtful. The driver of the hearse and those who accompanied the funeral procession were similarly thoughtful and kind. I really appreciated everything they all did.
