The whole team are so kind and supportive, never pushing me into having additional items and giving the family time to make decisions. They led me through the whole process for my dad's funeral and ensured that my dad had a wonderful last journey. Thank you to each of them would wholly recommend

Claire Hamill 3rd Oct 2023

Fantastic team, very personal and assuring. We felt our mum was so safe with them. Nothing was too much. Would definitely recommend them. A couple of family members have already chosen them for their own funeral as they were so impressed.

    Thank you to the Heritage Funeral Team. from the moment I walked through the door, every person I dealt with showed so much kindness and sympathy. Every question via phone or email was answered promptly and courteously.

On the day of my husband's funeral, every aspect that had been planned with Heritage went smoothly. Many thanks to Nikki, Rosemary & James

    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

  • 5 Gail Granger 24th Apr 2023

    We cannot recommend Heritage enough. The personalised service we received from the first moment we made contact was second to none. Nikki, Rosemary, Debbie and James made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and anything was possible. They guided us through the most difficult of circumstances, taking care of every small detail and arranged all aspects of the celebration of life service we wanted. They really do make you feel as though you are their only clients, and offer a truly unique service. A special mention to Rosemary, whose tribute to our late husband/dad, was so personal, many of our friends and family thought she had known him. We cannot thank them enough.

  • 5 Julie Spence 23rd Nov 2022

    Both my Mum's and Dad's funeral was carried out by Heritage, if I had more parents they too would be looked after by Heritage. Cannot fault Nicky and Rosemary in any way, they take away all the pressure that a funeral brings and are so personal. The day was so perfect, thank you.
