Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very caring and compassionate and respectful. Went above and beyond to organise a wonderful celebration of life even getting the Reverend Phil Mason to do the service. I would always use them in the future.

  • 5 Lorraine Dunstan 1st Nov 2024

    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

    Deighans Funeral Parlour gave my mum the most perfect funeral.  From taking mum into their care she was treated with the upmost professionalism.  We were allowed to visit mum each day prior to the actual funeral.  Each step was explained in detail allowing us to absorb what the process was.  From arranging the order of service attaching forget me not seeds with a forget me not pin badge no detail was overlooked.  Ken, Shirley, Rebecca along with their colleagues give 100 % care in such a harrowing time thank you.

    Thank you for your kind words, Debra. it has been an honour to look after June and the family.
