C.S.Boswell Independent Funeral Services

Planning a funeral for a loved one is heartbreaking, but Carl and Michelle made were able to take so much of the stress out of this process. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was sorted with compassion, grace and empathy. Their communication was excellent and everything went so smoothly.

Wendy Loveridge & Karen Lough-ScottWe have unfortunately lost both our Mum & Dad in the last 13 months. Carl and Kerstie and their team organised both funerals for us, showing compassion, professionalism and empathy at all times. They are extremely sensitive to relatives needs and nothing is too much trouble, paying amazing attention to every detail. We would highly recommend their service to anybody.Thank you to you all.

It is hard to find the words to express how grateful I am to Boswell’s for their superbly professional and very caring service in organising my late sister’s funeral. They made the whole process so much easier than I had at first feared, the staff were all so kind and understanding, communications were excellent (I live far away from Kidlington), and they made really helpful recommendations for every element. There were some very stressful issues to face in planning the funeral, and at every moment I felt that the staff and director at Boswell’s had my back - which made such a difference. We had a long wait for the funeral, but I felt confident that Boswell’s were treating my sister’s remain with the utmost respect. And on the day of the funeral itself, everything was done so perfectly and beautifully, it was a huge comfort to me that my sister had such a very fitting farewell. She would definitely have approved, and I recommend Boswell’s most highly.

I lost my father in November which was understandably a sad and upsetting time for our family. We as a family knew Carl and met with him to discuss all funeral arrangements. Immediately we felt supported, listened to and nothing was too much trouble. Carl and Kerstie made it as straight forward as it could be at this emotional and difficult time. Carl was organized, compassionate and respectful, he listened to what we wanted. The professional and experienced service shone through from Carl and his team from the very start, communication was excellent. On the actual day of dads funeral Carl took the lead which we appreciated, he had thought of everything in fine detail. Thank you Carl for the little Irish crosses that you added to dads coffin, I noticed them straight away and this was such a lovely caring thought for a truly amazing father. Thank you to you and your team, I (we) cannot thank you enough.

C.S. Boswell were incredibly caring and professional when it came to arranging my father’s funeral, and accommodated my family in every way they could; from providing guidance on taking the service, to choosing the appropriate crematorium, no request was too big or small. I praise them especially for their tact and efforts during the COVID-19 crisis - they handled the shifting landscape of regulations brilliantly, and ensured there were no compromises in our last goodbye.

It is very hard to know where to begin with CS Boswell and Carl and Kirsty - I guess the proof of the pudding is whether I would want them to attend to me and my funeral and the answer would have to be yes I would.From the very beginning and collecting mum from our house in a lovely estate car, designed for coffins, rather than the Private Ambulance van to the final part of the Crematorium their attention to detail was outstanding. They make you believe that you are their only customers - it is (as it should be) very personal, very kind, very touching - full of respect for our mother and ensuring that every little details is taken care of.If you want a funeral director to release you from the pain and your broken heart and to guide you through this extremely sad time then I would say use CS Boswell's - we could not fault them.So, thank you to everyone who helped us in this Company.Carl, you were outstanding.

Carl and his team have just taken care of my mums funeral, they have made a very difficult time for our family a little easier by their professionalism and level of care. If you are in the unfortunate position of needing a funeral director I would not hesitate in contacting C.S Boswell. Thank you Carl and team.

We can't thank Sara and the rest of the team enough, for looking after my mum until her last minute with them.We felt like my mum was very well looked after in their care and everything we so smoothly, they were able to take so much of the stress out of this process.Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was sorted with compassion, grace and empathy. Their communication was excellent.Thank you so much once again.
