Through a very difficult and painful time, Mitchells Funeral Directors were outstanding. Irene dealt with us initially and was incredibly helpful and professional. Liam our Funeral Director took control of everything thereafter and anything we needed was never a problem. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok leading up to and on the day of the funeral. Family run business and lovely to deal with a funeral director who actually cares. I did shop around prior to choosing Mitchells and glad I chose them. Highly recommend.

    I would highly recommend Mitchells Funeral Directors to any family. Liam and his family were amazing from start to finish they took the pressure off and gave that personal touch that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. The funeral went so smoothly and they ensured my mum had the best service and send off that she deserved. An excellent professional service, friendly and supportive family business we cannot thank them enough.

  • 5 Robert Cooper 1st Mar 2021

  • 5 Karen Harbord 19th Feb 2021

    I cannot recommend Mitchells funeral Directors enough Liam was very professional walked in front of the   Cortège leading my husband David from his family home everyone was able to pay there respects to my husband that came out because of Covid-19 it was fitting to allow many people to say goodbye to my husband that could not go to the funeral because of restrictions on allowing 20 only . Liam went above and beyond to allow this to happen it was also nice to use a family run business than a commercial company more personal touch .  

  • 5 Karen Duffy 8th Feb 2021

    We feel so supported by Liam and the team at Mitchells. This is of course a difficult time but Liam has ensured we are comfortable speaking to him about our wishes and has looked after every aspect of our arrangements.

  • 5 David Wilson 7th Feb 2021

    The help and attention I received following the loss of my mum from Liam and Irene was first class. Very helpful and made all the arrangements required stress-free.
    On the day , the whole arrangement went smoothly and was handled with efficiency and dignity.
    The total cost was very reasonable and the help and advice was priceless. I would recommend Mitchells to anyone in the same position without hesitation.
    On behalf of my family , thank you.

  • 5 Fiona Soper 19th Jan 2021

    Irene, Liam and his team contacted me after hearing of the news that my uncle had died. The funeral plan had been compiled with my uncle and they were in receipt of his wishes.
    Liam arranged a suitable time to meet with me in accordance with the restrictions at the time. Himself and a colleague came to my house to discuss the plans and service.
    Due to my uncle living in England we had to coordinate a repatriation to Scotland which Liam took care of from start to finish, I was told that my uncle would be looked after at a parlour until his funeral done weeks later.
    With all the information about: order of service, online service, online obituary, funeral car, flowers, songs, photographs, poem, celebrants, attendees and travel, a time and date was set.
    Having never dealt with arranging a funeral I was dreading the formalities but Liam was amazing. Kind, compassionate, understanding and patient, nothing was too much of an ask or inconvenience. I would message or email random questions and either himself or Irene would respond promptly.
    On the day of the funeral everything went smoothly and as nice as you could hope for. The professionalism and genuine care shown was very sincere.
    Afterwards, I was reassured that everything was in order and we bid goodbye.
    Thank you Mitchell's funeral directors.
    Fiona

    I can't say enough nice things about Liam and Irene. They took such good care of me and the extended family when my husband recently died, and there was no request that was not fulfilled. I would thouraghly recommend them, and would definitely use their services again should the need arise.

    Thank you very much, Liam and the team made the day perfect for Sheena, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more from them. Myself, Duncan, Gaynor, Andrew and all the family were so pleased with the service they provided. They went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. And for that we can’t thank you all enough. Sheena got the send off she deserved. She is going to be missed by all and will always remain and have a special place in our hearts. You made this day so much easier, relaxed and perfect.....

    Thank you
