When we lost our second parent in six weeks, the only funeral directors we would consider using was Deighan’s because they gave us amazing support and service when our mother passe ... d away first. We picked Deighan’s initially because we thought that we would get better service with a family run business and this turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The whole team are compassionate, friendly and put you at ease. They deliver a first class service and ensure that everything runs smoothly throughout the process. Most importantly, we felt the are parents were treated with dignity and love whilst in their care. It is comforting, after losing two parents so quickly, that we can now sit back and reflect and feel that thanks to Deighan’s we gave them the best send-off we possibly could. more

Ryan went above and beyond with our little brother on the day of the service an experience which I’m sure will have set a positive memory of what would have been an awful day otherwise. Thank you so much to all of you from the Dawson family.

  • 5 John Stryker 18th Dec 2024

    Deighans Funeral Directors were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time with such kindness, compassion, and professionalism.

    Ste, Ryan, and Rai really took the time to listen to us and understand what we wanted for my mum’s farewell. They offered thoughtful suggestions and made sure that every detail reflected her personality and the love we felt for her.

    On the day of the funeral, they were so respectful and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The service was beautifully done—so personal and heartfelt. It was clear how much effort they put into making sure it was a fitting tribute to my mum.

    I can’t thank them enough for the care and support they gave to us as a family. They made such a difficult time that little bit easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They truly went above and beyond for my mum and for us.

    Shirley Deighan replied

    Where do I begin I cant express how fantastic the service we received from Shirley Ken Rebecca and the whole team at Deighans Funeral Parlour on the passing of my beloved partner Jim x The compassion service and assistance received was out of this world. Everything was handled perfectly from looking after Jim to arranging the church crematorium etc the order of service books along with seeds and pins was a fantastic touch. 10/10 would highly recommend using Deighans when a loved one passes as during the difficult time they take all the pressure away and arrange everything perfectly

    My dad chose Dieghans for his services as he wasn’t happy with other similar services locally from a previous experience.
    The service from Deighans was first class from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. Staff even checked in with us to ensure we were not struggling. Attention to detail was amazing and we felt a trust in them to care for dad. An absolute pleasure to have this class many dealing with all funeral arrangements. Definitely a recommendation from us
