    I can not praise Aberfan funeral care enough, planning a funeral of a loved one is never easy but from start to finish Martine and Simon were absolutely fantastic and so professional , correspondence between us was perfect not too much and not too little , nothing was too much trouble for them , I cant rate them highly enough and will be recommending their services in the future.
    They are a credit to the business and so much so due to their service my wife and I will both be taking out a Coop funeral care plan. I had never considered this until using Aberfan Funeral care.

    Please pass on our forever thanks to both Martine and Simon as they truly are beyond excellent in their jobs

    if I can help in anyway in providing positive feedback to a wider audience please don't hesitate to contact me .

  • 5 Natalie Jones 16th Jan 2022

    Martine and Simon in the Aberfan branch were brilliant, they were so supportive and kind throughout every step of the way. They provided my family with not just support in arranging my Mothers funeral but went the extra mile to make it special for us all, under such sad circumstances, we never felt rushed or pushed and they always made time to help us. The kindness they showed and the extra final touches they added like stopping outside our family home to show my Mam her Xmas tree on her final journey made her funeral so special. I can’t thank them both enough.
