My wonderful 85 year old father died in Weymouth and we wanted a natural burial for him in Essex. We also wanted a funeral at the earliest opportunity due to the imminent birth of of my grandson with my daughter (the mother) being classed high risk. We thus had a lot going on all at once and had to process the funeral over the phone. We really needed an undertaker that we could trust, that was efficient and whose costs were transparent. That is exactly what we got with Lucking & Sons. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they were always there at the end of the phone after a couple of rings, they clearly know every aspect of the business and we felt a sense of relief once Dad was picked up by them in Weymouth and taken to be looked after in Chelmsford. Lucking also watched the costs of other parties in the care of Dad which saved us several hundred pounds. The undertaker and pall bearers were very respectful and careful. At such a sad time we were very relieved that Dad got the care he so deserved. Baby subsequently arrived 17 days early!

Our family have unfortunately had to use M.Lucking & Sons twice in the last 12 months, and I cannot recommend them enough. Darren and the team are amazing. They made every step so easy and understanding. 5 * is not enough for the work these guys do. Thank you.

Our family found it very comforting to have the support and guidance from Lucking & Sons, at such a difficult time.
Whenever we phoned, someone was always available and they kept in touch with us. We really appreciated their kindness and sensitivity when our Mother died and then a few month’s later, my husband passed away. With their dedicated input, everything ran smoothly and both funerals, though very different, were beautiful. We could not have asked for more. Many Thanks to All.

Any request we had was dealt with in a professional manner. They supported us all during this difficult time. Thank you all once again for a beautiful service. Would highly recommend.

We have used M. Luckings 3 times and each time we found the way they took us through the process was considerate and understanding. Each step of the way they explained clearly and allowed us time to consider our options, exerting no pressure.

Throughout the funeral process they were very respectful of our loved ones, ready to assist as needed whilst maintaining a discrete distance.

We’d have no hesitation in recommending this family business.

My heartfelt thanks goes out to all the staff at this fantastic family business, especially Roy. My mum sadly passed away during these unprecedented times and even though it was a very small service, the whole process was dealt with so professionally with dignity and respect but most of all with compassion and understanding which really helped during a difficult time. I can’t praise you all enough, everything was explained fully and all our requests were carried out beautifully. Thank you so much.

I’d like to also thank Darren and his team for their dedication and kindness in providing mum with a beautiful funeral. From reassuring me that she was with you and that you would look after her whilst she was there, giving me the advice I needed through to the day itself, I would absolutely recommend you to others in the same circumstances as me. Thank you all so much.

When my mother passed away 7 years ago we chose M. Lucking and Sons as Funeral Directors and they were fantastic. So when my husband passed away in January we (myself and children) had no hesitation in asking them to carry out his Funeral. Darren and the team were great. Darren was so patient and understanding and all our wishes were carried out just as we wanted. Nothing was to much trouble and the day of the funeral went without a hitch.
Thank you Darren and All the Team you are 5 star.

I can’t recommend M. Lucking & Sons enough, their support and service was excellent. Darren dealt with my mother’s funeral and was excellent support. Introducing me to Guy our minister for the cremation service, arranging the meeting at his office on a Saturday morning for me as I was travelling.The service on the day was excellent everyone showed a lot of compassion, the finer details such as bowing and not rushing the service makes it all the more special.They also arrange a webcast so my mother’s older brother in America could watch the service live.Overall an exceptional service from this team.

Thank you so much for all your help and understanding, from coming out after midnight, when my husband died, to making everything the way he would have wanted it with his funeral and service. Very much family orientated, but so professional. Once again many thanks from myself and my family.

I can’t recommend M. Lucking & Sons enough. Their attention to detail with Darren on that first meeting to ironing out issues with mum being in Cambridge and Luckings travelling to get her back to Essex for us.Their attentiveness with their follow up calls right up to the day before my mums funeral has been outstanding – alleviating any unnecessary stress we may have felt. We were looked after perfectly.Thank you.

Having recently lost my husband, my family and I were somewhat daunted by then having to make the funeral arrangements, but Darren, Roy and all the team at Lucking & Sons were wonderful and guided us every step of the way. They were very caring and nothing was too much trouble. Everything went smoothly and I cannot fault them for their attention to detail. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Darren dealt with my father’s funeral from start to burial. I am sad to have lost my father, but the whole team at M Lucking&sons were exceptional, they are kind, very respectful, everything was managed really well, taking most of the stress off me, on the day everyone showed alot of compassion, the finer details such as bowing and not rushing the service makes it all the more special. Many thanks to the celebrant Peter as well. Overall my family and myself rate this provider as outstanding. A very heartfelt thank you and appreciation to you all. Rennie.
