This was the first time I have ever had to deal with a funeral personally. I chose Heritage Funerals who were professional,and courteous throughout,and their fees were fair. Everything was handled with compassion and care,and the whole family were very happy with how Heritage Funerals took care of everything. Thank you from the family.

We can't recommend Heritage highly enough. Rosemary, Nikki and James were extremely competent, yet totally compassionate, right from the start. They truly succeeded in their aim to deliver exactly what we wanted every step of the way, but offered some very helpful suggestions when appropriate. Nothing was too much trouble for these kind and caring professionals.

When your love one dies who do you turn too Heritage Funeral Ltd. From the start they were so warm and professional in dealing with a very difficult time for me and my children.I cannot praise them enough for always being on the end of a phone if I had a query which was dealt with straight away. There kindness and compassion helped me deal with the funeral and on the day showed such respect and consideration for me to say goodbye to my love one. I will always be grateful for choosing Heritage Funeral Ltd.

  • 5 Diana Dancer 22nd Dec 2023

    Wonderful personal service nothing is too much trouble. I am so happy we chose these wonderful people to conduct my mum’s funeral. They made the worst time of our lives more bearable 

  • 5 Michelle Greene 22nd Nov 2023

    Nicki and team were recommended to us by my sister in law.
    From the moment we stepped in through the door we felt at ease and understood. Everything was said with total honesty and respect to my dad and us. We requested for Dad to be put in his own clothes and his favourite song. They went above and beyond for us and dad. He looked so peaceful. They have little touches like the chapel of rest is a bed not a coffin which makes the awful situation seem less morbid. Any questions we've had we have been answered quickly and we felt supported and informed throughout, but without being chased.

    I highly recommend Nicki, James and Rosemary for anyone needing this service at such an awful time.

    Thank you all for what you have done for Dad ♥️

  • 5 Melissa Campbell 27th Jun 2023

    We cannot praise Heritage Funerals enough. The care they took, the support they offered, and the service they delivered were without fault and exceed our expectations.

    You get to know all of the staff of which they are four and this means you get a very personal service.

    They want to know about your loved one and are so respectful and thoughtful. The celebrant Rosemary did a fantastic service for us and so many people commented on it afterward.

    We will recommend them to everyone.

    Thank you Nikki, James, Rosemary and Debbie
