I contacted James on the death of my uncle, given his card by a friend who highly recommended him. James was very professional and compassionate with myself and the family. Bob's funeral ran perfectly, couldn't ask for a better service. Thankyou.

When my mum passed away, it was a very difficult time and not something I have had to deal with before. James was kind and considerate, understanding and supportive. He knew what to say at what time and how to say it.  He reassured me from the moment he was involved that mum would be in good hands.   On the day he picked her up from hospital he kept me informed that she was safe with him, and let me know when she had arrived at the funeral directors.   He provided guidance through the process and suggestions for the service where appropriate.  Even the small things like nail varnish were discussed.   Something I wouldn’t have considered.  Under such difficult circumstances, James was an absolute rock.   I was reassured that mum was in safe and respectful hands. James dealt with all of the parties involved, from the hospital, cars, flowers, crematorium and even the stone mason for the head stone.  Taking all of the stress out of an emotional time.  There was no pressure at any time, and I always felt at ease. James is genuine, caring and professional.   Thank you for everything you did for me and my family.   Mum would have loved it!! x

I can not praise James & his team enough. My husband passed away home suddenly & it was the worst night of my life. I was advised to call James after seeking comfort from my neighbour who had recently been to a funeral conducted by James. After making the call to James he was with us within around 30 minutes. Before taking Clive to hospital James explained everything that was going to happen to make sure I understood everything. I was so happy with everything that James did for me I have now taken a funeral plan out with him for myself.

    Very professional, nothing too big or two small to do when asked. Very accommodating when we changed parts of the funeral, very considerate and sympathetic to all our needs. Even sorted the wake for us. Would recommend to anyone, I literally have no negatives about this company, cannot Thank them enough for what they did for me.

    When looking for a funeral director for my mum I spent a lot of time searching the internet looking at funeral directors websites & reviews. When I came across James & Emma's website I new rite away that this was who I wanted to care for my mum. I first made contact through there website & I received a call back within a few minutes. With me being disabled James offered to come to my home in Stockport to arrange the funeral for my mum which I found really helpful. I would also like to thank James for going the extra mile & giving me a lift to his funeral home to visit my mum in the chapel of rest.

    My father passed away in Scotland on holiday & I thought it was going to be very difficult to arrange getting him home. This however was not the case. I called James in the middle of the night when I first heard my father had passed away. From the first moment we spoke I new I had made the right decision on calling James because he helped put my mind at ease by explaining the whole process even though it was in the early hours of the morning. The funeral itself was perfect & just what my father would of wanted.
