December 6, 2025We first used Bungard in 2018 for my Father-in-Laws funeral and had no hesitation in using them again when my Mother-in-law sadly passed away. From the moment we contacted Richard,... read more he and his team showed great compassion and couldn't do enough to help us through this difficult time. we had a limited time in Brighton to arrange things and Richard bent over backwards to fit us in and carryout everything to our wishes. On the day of the funeral, the whole team were amazing, compassionate, friendly and very professional. I can't recommend them enough. If I could give them mo0re than 5 stars, I would.

November 16, 2025When my father passed away, l wasn't sure where to begin when it came to arranging his funeral and l am so grateful that Bungards were recommended to me. From... read more the very first conversation, Richard and Ben were kind, compassionate and supportive. They both brought a reassuring sense of calm and sensitivity which gave us complete confidence and trust in their care and expertise. They took time to listen carefully, were always available when we needed them, and gave us the space and guidance to create a truly special celebration of my Dad's life. They showed such genuine care for our whole family and their thoughtfulness towards my widowed mother was particularly appreciated. We honestly cannot thank Richard, Ben and the entire Bungards team enough nor recommend them more highly.

October 30, 2025I first came across Bungards when I needed to contact a Funeral Directors in March 2025 after being told that my Grandmother was nearing the end. They were brilliant, explained... read more the process and, for me, most importantly said that they were willing to help, even if we decided to go elsewhere when the time came. Fast forward to September 2025 and I received the call that nobody wants to have - our Grandmother had passed. Zoe was there to help us through the next stages. Zoe was very kind and, from the beginning, metaphorically speaking, held our hands through the process of preparing the funeral. Nothing was too much, Zoe was with us all the way, guiding us as to who we’d like to perform the ceremony, flowers, music, the crematorium, tracing other family’s ashes and more. We couldn’t have wished for a better service from a Funeral Directors.

October 14, 2025I hope this review helps anyone looking for a funeral company to take care of all the arrangements when a loved one passes away.

Zoe and rest of the team took such a good care of us... read more left behind and also my partner. He was well prepared for viewing wearing his favourite outfit. We wanted direct cremation but with a chance to have a viewing so his older kids could say proper goodbay.

Being quite young and dealing with a death... read more of a love one for the first time, I found it rather hard and unsure of the right thing to do, but Richard and Ben helped me through every step of the process.

Sam Spendiff
August 25, 2025How does one rate a firm which is still caring for a family 62+ years on from the death of a Grandmother? Five stars are not enough. My Grandmother died... read more in 1962 and due to a dispersed family and her husband having to move from Hove fairly soon after her cremation her ashes were never collected. The wonderful Zoe, at Bungard's, had the idea of trying to trace us through Ancestry. Success - her ashes will now be collected and dispersed in the way my Grandmother wished. All this down to the care, initiative and warmth of this wonderful firm. Thank you, thank you.

Small... read more things mattered: it was a hot day and as we were waiting for the service to start Ben suddenly produced bottles of water for us - so thoughtful. We had discussed all the different elements of the funeral and again Ben was very supportive. The bill, when it arrived, seemed a reasonable sum for what they provided. I would also like to commend their aftercare which offers different opportune for the bereaved.

July 23, 2025We are so grateful to Bungard’s for their care, compassion, and guidance during one of the hardest times in our lives. Ben was calm, kind, and incredibly supportive—his gentle manner... read more helped us feel reassured and never rushed. He put absolutely no pressure on us and supported us in choosing a funeral that truly honoured my husband’s wishes. From start to finish, we were treated with tenderness and respect.

Their compassion extended not only to us but to the way they looked after my husband, which meant the world. We felt supported at every step.

This is a difficult time for loved ones and I would say that Bungards made that so much easier, enabling us to truly view the service as a celebration of Mum’s life.

April 17, 2024Amazing service from Richard and his team arranging my dad's funeral. I was understandably a bit overwhelmed during this sad time but Bungards really did all the heavy lifting. They... read more made great suggestions for the funeral and put together a great photo montage to one of my dad's favourite piece of music. Everything went 100% to plan at the funeral and they were there every step of the way but were also very unobtrusive at the same time.

William Brown
March 17, 2024I can't say enough positive things about Bungard and the service they provided. Obviously losing a loved one is a bloody awful experience but throughout dealing with Bungard we encountered... read more nothing but respect and dilligence and the kind of professionalism which frankly one rarely sees. The funeral they helped us arrange was beautiful, including recommending an excellent celebrant. They say being a funeral director is a calling, and I don't think I'd really understood the value of this kind of service until we'd needed it ourselves. It's somewhat bleakly funny to "recommend" a funeral directors, but if you find yourself in need of one, these are great. (also, my condolences)
Ed Sibley

The whole family is so grateful for this.

Many thanks for also helping us also achieve the prompt internment of ashes as was our Aunt’s wish. That meant we could leave Hove feeling really content we had done all we could.

September 17, 2023We cannot thank Ben and the team enough for all they did for us at a very difficult time. Losing a beloved younger sister who was so full of... read more life left all of us in shock. Ben had looked after my mother when she passed away and based on that experience for us there was never any question about who should look after my sister. It was so comforting for the family to know that my sister was being well looked after by people who truly cared. Ben was very kind and did everything he could to take away as much stress as possible. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to accommodate our wishes. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much.

September 17, 2023My family used Bungards for my mothers funeral. Ben was extremely professional and kind in dealing with all the necessary arrangements. We originally had a funeral directors near to where... read more we live in London, but were recommended Bungards by a relative who had used them.

September 17, 2023I wanted the best possible and I received it. Absolutely everything was done for me, immediately, efficiently and professionally, and with a kind and sympathetic manner. Most things had... read more not even occurred to me. Extra requests were enacted in the same way and not forgotten.

September 17, 2023We wanted to say how grateful we were to be dealing with Bungards again and particularly with Richard directly. It was a relief for us to know that all aspects... read more of our beloved Aunt’s funeral that you would be dealing with were in safe hands having ‘worked’ together on our Uncle’s funeral previously. You provided us with such a calm and efficient and kind service, for which we are most grateful. Please do pass this on to whomever else in your team deserves the praise. However, for us Richard, it has always been about you. We can't really imagine how you manage to attend to funerals so personally but it certainly gives confidence to those managing the process and particularly when doing so long distance. Many thanks for also helping us also achieve the prompt internment of ashes as was our Aunt’s wish. That meant we could leave Hove feeling really content we had done all we could. And that was down to your support and excellent help right through the process. We would wholeheartedly recommend you. With our enormous thanks and all best wishes to you and your team.
