Nothing was too much trouble & everything went so smoothly. We all very much appreciated the route taken to Noel’s final resting place passing his bookies, favourite watering hole & the street he was born & lived on all of his life. Everything was done with great professionalism. 

Helen Kelly 20th Apr 2021

The staff at Clarke’s were considerate and professional. From the removal from her home, through her days at Clarke’s and then the service and committal, I don’t think anyone could have asked for a more attentive and caring service. 

Ian Fisher 19th Apr 2021

Extremely good at what they do. Friendly, attentive, and expert.

  • 5 Gareth Johnston 17th Apr 2021

    I've used Clarke's for the funerals of both my parents. On both occasions they provided very sensitive, dignified and professional service where what was agreed was delivered reliably and without fuss. They worked flexibly to accommodate our wishes and made things straightforward for us at a difficult time, in particular co-ordinating in the background with all the various people involved.

  • 5 Lee Dineley 16th Apr 2021

    S Clarke & Son provided a first class service and were a great support to our family during this difficult time . 

  • 5 Raymond McKeown 15th Apr 2021

    From the initial phone call to S.clarke + son, through the arrangements pertaining to  the funeral of my wife I was completely satisfied with the care and attention given by the various members of staff involved.
    They undertook all the actions required to contact the minister, the church involved and the gravedigger and on the day of the funeral the necessary actions to complete the burial.
    A very professional service.

    Can not thank these guys enough for their support at such a difficult time. To make things even more difficult, I was planning a funeral from quite a distance but it was never a problem. They were sensitive, professional, respectful and went above and beyond to send my brother off in the best way they could and Nothing was too much for them. Thank you all especially David for everything you did for my brother and my family.
