Simon and his team ensured that the funeral, which was some distance from our home, went smoothly and without fuss. They were quietly efficient and very respectful, and liaised with the celebrant and burial site as required. They are very approachable, helpful and made a stressful task so much easier. I would certainly recommend them.

Simon and Maria were marvellous! Organising a funeral for a loved one is heartbreaking, but their calm, kind and efficient manner made it so much easier. Despite the fact that we had to organise our funeral quickly they never made us feel rushed, they listened to us and our wishes were totally respected. Wonderful customer service. Highly highly recommended.

    Simon and Maria made our experience at Jeffries seamless. They were both professional and compassionate when navigating our way through what was a difficult time. As a family we will be forever grateful to them and whilst we hope we don’t need a funeral director in the future, if we do we will call them. Selina Russell nee McHugh

  • 5 Leonie Petrarca 2nd Aug 2024

    Thank you so much Simon and Maria for all your kindness and help in guiding us through such a difficult time. We felt everything was organised very efficiently and explained sensitively right from our first contact to the day of the service. There are so many decisions to be made and all of the recommendations were perfect from the order of service and flowers to introducing us to our lovely Celebrant Laura. A big relief we found you and we couldn’t have asked for more on such an important day!

  • 5 Christine Kinsey 28th Jul 2024

    Jefferies Funeral Service was excellent in arranging my mother's funeral. They were kind and compassionate as well as being appropriately professional.

    We felt they enabled us to concentrate on saying goodbye to our mother, due to the fact that we trusted their professionalism in organising and facilitating everything on the day. Thank you.

  • 5 Maggie Short 3rd Apr 2024

    The service received from Jefferies was exceptional. This was from our first meeting, where we were spoken to with compassion and understanding, through to the funeral itself. Nothing was too much trouble and they accommodated our requests without any fuss. They also thought of the little things, which made all of the difference to us as a family. Would highly recommend using their services.

  • 5 Harvey Siney 13th Mar 2024

    Very professional, caring and considerate. Helped make a very difficult time smoother and helped us to celebrate the life of our amazing father.

    Thank you to all involved, it’s much appreciated by us all!

  • 5 Helen Birdett 13th Mar 2024

    I really can't say enough about how wonderful Jeffries are, they make the most stressful time, worry free and in the most caring and understanding way. They really understand the family ethos and you can rest assured you are in safe and caring hands.

  • 5 Sonia Withers-Wilson 9th Mar 2024

    From the moment my husband rang you for advice when my mum passed away you helped make everything so seamless. I can honestly say I was never once worried because you always had an answer to any of our questions, and ensured we always knew what was happening in regards to the arrangements.

    Mum I am sure loved her moment yesterday 28th February and her grandsons were so pleased to be able to help carry her coffin in. My family and friends also said how wonderful it all was, and of course Laura Rusbridge the celebrant was the icing on the cake as she really is a wonderful human being. Thank you all.

  • 5 Christine Warrent 13th Feb 2024

    Thank you for the superb service from yourself and your team on the death of our Dad and beloved Husband 
    It was all done in such a caring and sensitive way that really helped us through this very sad time.

  • 5 Sarah Turner 12th Feb 2024

    The team were extremely patient, compassionate and really helped us to understand everything. The celebrant they chose for us was amazing at getting a sense of who mum was and gave a really genuine, heartfelt tribute to her at the funeral. 

  • 5 Stephen Cosier 10th Feb 2024

    They handled my dad’s funeral in 2014 and did an amazing job so when it came time for me to say goodbye to my mother I contacted them again. They did an amazing job again.

  • 5 Richard Burdett 13th Jan 2024

    I cannot rate or thank Jeffries highly enough. They guided me sympathetically and expertly through every step of the arrangements for my dear son’s funeral, always listening to my own ideas of what I wanted for him - and it all went perfectly.

  • 5 Carolyn Payne 22nd Dec 2023

    The team at Jefferies were kind, helpful, patient, and utterly professional from start to finish. They were so easy to deal with and it really helped at a very difficult time. I highly recommend them.
