Lindsay Ellis and his team were thorough and efficient with all the arrangements they made, with great attention to detail. They were so kind and caring, looking after the family really well throughout the planning and on the day. They recommended Ceri-Lou Newman to take the service , who did a superb job and was much appreciated by the family and the congregation. We are pleased with the job that they did for us.

Keri Turner 2nd Jun 2019

Lyndsay and all of his staff were at all times attentive to our needs and carried out all of our requests and wishes exactly as we wanted them. At such a sad and emotional time Lyndsay was always available to talk to and he listed to our wishes. Al of the staff are professional and thoughtful and we wouldn't think twice bout using them again and also recommending them to anyone else.

  • 5 Tracey Price 2nd Mar 2019

    We recently lost our beloved Dad and came across Lyndsay Ellis while searching the internet for a funeral director and from that very 1st phone call I made and spoke to Ben they were absolutely outstanding. They guided us with everything they could, put us in touch with Paulo to make the flowers. We decided to have an engraved Coffin for our Dad and we were blown away by the detail it had. Me and my Sister cannot thank Lyndsay and his team enough for everything you done to make our Dad's final journey such a beautiful one. Thank you soo much guys x

  • 5 Damien Williams 11th Nov 2018

    At this difficult time is was so comforting to have the help of the Vale Funeral Services. As soon as I walked through the door I knew I had made the right decision. At a time when everything seems upsetting, the extra time and attention that Lyndsay gave me to go over the details of the funeral of my wife I could never thank him enough. I can honestly say the worst day of my life was made so my easier by Vale Funeral Services I cannot recommend or thank them enough. Truly amazing

    Lyndsay Ellis replied
    Thank you Damien for your lovely words, my thoughts are with you all as a family. I actually sat in for the service and what a beautiful and personal tribute yourself and Lorraine gave for Johanna. I wish also to thank you too for your friendship and listening ear.
    To see so many people attend clearly shows how loved and special Johanna and your family will always be
  • 5 Janine Edson 27th Sep 2018

    From the passing of our Dad, to the completion of the cremation service, the professionalism and compassion provided by Lyndsay and his Vale Team was a huge comfort to our family. Their guidance and support through what can be a difficult process for any family was faultless. We unreservedly recommend Vale Funeral Services.
