Jane Cheetham 5th Apr 2024

The funeral for my loved one was beautifully organised and I really appreciated the efficient yet kind and personable service. Dianne guided me through the decisions that needed to be made, and I would highly recommend her service. The cost of each element was explained, and she understood the budget and requirements perfectly.

    We would like to give a huge thank you to Dianne for arranging our Dad’s funeral. The service provided is faultless with such care and attention and so helpful at this difficult time. 

  • 5 John Hibbert 31st Mar 2023

    My mum lived until 108 years old and when she passed away we needed guidance on how to organise her funeral.
    A very dear friend of ours recommended Bernard and his daughter following his Mothers death.
    We were so pleased that he did.
    Dianne and her team were so kind and helpful and ensured that everything mum wished for was granted.
    They are very respectful and everything went like clockwork.
    There is a lot more to organising a funeral nowadays then we realised.
    Also the charges for their services are very fair.
    You are dealing with the people who run the business direct and nothing is too much trouble.
    In difficult times they are the people to go to.
    Thank you so much Dianne and your team.
    You did a wonderful Job xxxx

    Kind regards John and Avril Hibbert

    If you are looking for funeral directors to lead you through the toughest times of your life with empathy, help, kindness and guidance then these are the people you need to be with.   We can’t recommend highly enough   They were respectful, considerate, had a great sense of humour and totally put us at ease in a situation we felt completely out of our depth with.    We felt like Dad was in the best hands possible and were so grateful for all their help.

  • 5 Jennifer Robinson 13th Mar 2023

    I can’t thank Dianne, Phil and all the team enough for their wonderful care and attention to every detail. We were treated like family which made the whole process more bearable. The day of the funeral ran like clockwork we were not rushed but allowed enough time between church and crem to speak to all that attended. Thanks so much for all that you did it is greatly appreciated by all the family
