Complaints Procedure

At Eynsham Funeral Services we are committed to providing the highest possible standard of care and service to the families we support. However, we recognise that, on occasion, concerns may arise or mistakes may be made. If this happens, you may wish to make a complaint or provide feedback about the service you have received.

We encourage you to let us know of any concerns as soon as possible so that we can do our best to put matters right. We welcome all feedback, whether positive or negative, and are committed to using it constructively to help us continually improve the service we provide.

We aim to deal with all complaints promptly, fairly and sensitively, with any decision reached following a full and careful investigation of the circumstances.
