Bell, Lamb & Trotter Funeral Directors

We chose Bell, Lamb & Trotter some years ago, when our Mum nearly died. With family and friends overseas, we wanted the One Room facility, where people could log on to the service and watch it live. From the time I dealt with Andrew Bell, we were convinced we had made the right choice. Andrew's friendly, calm and professional manner was just what we liked. I commenced doing photos with him, for a power point when the time came. He scanned them all, and I kept him updated as the years progressed. On 12 June this year, when our wee Mum did pass away, and BLT services kicked in, we were SO grateful for all they did, with me having to get to Christchurch from Nelson, and our brother from Hamilton. We knew everything was being taken care of that day, with Janet, Administrator Extraordinaire with helpful advice on the phone on that day, and since. All the staff we had personal dealings with were so lovely, caring, professional and helpful, at a time, when one's brain doesn't seem to be functioning 100%. They gave us great suggestions and on the day of the funeral, every last detail was taken care of, way more than we expected or had thought of. We gave our Mum a wonderful send-off, and wouldn't have changed one thing on that day. Everyone commented on the three fold order of service and beautiful Memorial book, filled with all the slideshow photos of Mum. Thank you SO much, everyone at Bell, Lamb & Trotter. We can't speak highly enough of you. Wendy Cornish, and family of Beryl Smith

A family business with excellence care and professional services. Andrew was very helpful throughout the process and offered services tailored to our needs. I appreciate your services and would highly recommend Bell, Lamb & Trotter to any family. Thanks

My father passed away late last year. I contacted Bell Lamb and Trotter as they had been highly recommended to me. The choice was definitely the right one to make. My father was looked after with so much care and and dignity. Andrew, Ian, Suzanne and the team gave great support to my sisters and me ensuring that every detail we requested was met. The time and effort that Andrew put into creating the beautiful service sheets, memorial books and video was exceptional. The finished products were far superior to any I have seen at other funerals I've attended.Their bereavement councilor is also a great asset. She contacted us a couple of weeks after the funeral to offer support if we required it.I have recommended Bell Lamb and and Trotter to many friends and will continue to do so.

Having to suddenly prepare for a funeral is a daunting task, but my family and I chose Bell Lamb & Trotter and could not be more pleased. They were extremely courteous and helpful to us with the planning of my late husband’s funeral. My husband had always said he wanted a simple funeral casket and the one provided was exactly what he would have wanted and that, together with the beautiful arrangement of flowers on top making it absolutely perfect. The way Andrew Bell interacted with us was exemplary and also his liaising with my nephew over the live streaming of the service from the Church which was viewed around the world. The catering was wonderful following the service and a lot of compliments were made to us of the lovely food provided. My husband would have been tickled pink being driven off in the 1937 Packard Hearse which completed the service.I would highly recommend Bell, Lamb & Trotter to any family.

Very thank full for Andrew and his team.When my grandma passed away, it was the first family loss in many years and we needed support. The team created a beautiful funeral for a family in the Greek community and helped give her the day she deserved.Thank you and highly recommended ❤️

Words can't express the amazing service we received for our late mother. Ian n his whole team were just awesome, listened to all our needs and their attention to detail was 200%. As a whole family we highly recommend this wonderful team to anyone wanting to send their love one on their final journey. You cannot go wrong with choosing Bell, lamb & Trotter. Thank you Ian n your team so deeply for everything you did for us. Our family n friends still talk about your amazing service

Looking into funeral care for an familyMember and felt their customer service was not only lacking, but so was their empathy towards those who wish to get affairs in order and pre plan the end of life celebration.

Andrew at the team at Bell, Lamb & Trotter are extremely diligent and caring. They are extremely organised, respectful and are a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything.

Attended a funeral run by this team some weeks back. The family felt distressed by their service and attitude of the overhead during what was a really awful moment in their lives. Staff was not a good presence at the funeral either....
