I was impressed with the kindness, consideration and professionalism of the company. In a very difficult time, I felt informed, and given the opportunity to ask relevant questions ... that were quickly answered. Arranging a funeral is emotionally stressful, Shirley & Ian made the preparation easier, the service was conducted with compassion and thoughtfulness. We couldn’t off asked for more to say good bye to my husband Andrew Thank you so much for everything Shirley & Ian Many Thanks Dawn  more

  • 5 Trisha Malley 31st May 2022

    From start to finish I can’t fault the service that our family received. We knew our loved one was looked after and treated with respect. It was the personal touches that helped us at this awful time in our lives. A very caring and considerate family business. 

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you Trisha for taking the time to write us a wonderful review, at such a difficult and sad time for you and your family. The team here was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Denis at such a young age. He most certainly had the send off he deserved I'm sure you'll agree. The service by Nicola was phenomenal and made beautiful and very personal for such a sad situation. Hugs to all.

  • 5 Jeff Lang 17th Apr 2022

    We have used Deighan’s twice now within the last four months and both times they have been first class.  Every contact is dealt with professionally and with care.  Everyone we have been in contact with have been excellent.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    We was very saddened to learn of Leonards passing, but I am sure you'll agree he is where he wants to be by Kathleen's side. I certainly doesn't make it any easier for those they leave behind, but I'm sure you'll agree he had a lovely send off and service by Ian and Katie was honoured to conduct the cortege.

  • 5 Karla Heyes 6th Apr 2022

    When my father passed away two weeks ago, my family and I felt our whole world fall apart. We were filled with a mixture of grief, worry and uncertainty. I wanted to be able to pass on out heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team at Deighan's Funeral Parlour for helping us through this very upsetting time. From the moment Ian came to our house to collect my dad, we felt he and us were in their safe and caring hands. We were treated with kindness and respect throughout and are very grateful for all their support. Thankyou, from all the Family

    Shirley Deighan replied
    What a lovely review Karla. I am so pleased to hear Ian and Katie took such care and compassion collecting Dad that night and you was reassured throughout.
    His funeral was such a moving day and what a great turn out with the classic Morris Minors and Rovers, parading Dad through the streets on his final journey, it certainly turned some heads and we had such lovely comments.
    The team are delighted you felt the kindness, respect and support from us all here at Deighan's.
  • 5 Robert Gilbert 3rd Apr 2022

  • 5 Christine Parrish 19th Jan 2022

    All the staff at Deighan's Funeral Parlour are caring, professional and went above and beyond to create a perfect service for my Husband. Everybody who attended the service said it was carried out with the upmost respect. Ian was very kind, supportive and listened to everything I wanted and made some really good suggestions. The order of service they produced was perfect. It was so nice to know your loved one was with people who genuinely cared about them. The whole team showed kindness, respect and a truly professional manner at all times.
    The added touches on the day went above and beyond expectations.
    Shirley led the cortege from our home and once at the crematorium showed respect to my husband and lead the procession by walking up the long driveway. This was very touching. My family and myself are truly grateful for all the support and care offered to us during a very sad time.
    I cannot recommend them highly enough.
    From the family of Gerry Porter
