I cannot praise Deighans funeral parlour highly enough for everything they did to help and support us with the devestating loss of my husband Philip(Sam), they really went that extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. I want to give extra special thanks to Ian as he was just amazing with all his help, advice and compassion, and the way he conducted the service was just perfect and for this I am forever grateful. I personally would recommend Deighans.  Thankyou so much

Deighans were fantastic from start to finish.  Excellent service from Katie and the  team who’s attention to detail was second to none.  Special thanks to Ian for giving Stella a lovely send off and a heart felt service.

    Deighan's funeral parlour carried out our lovely mum’s funeral with great care and respect.  Ian and Shirley were attentive, knowledgeable and respectful at a difficult time.  Ian led the service to celebrate mum’s life and everyone who attended, either in person or remotely, commented on how lovely the service was,  Every detail was taken care of by the team which also included Katie, Ryan and David and as a family we can not thank them enough for their care and support.  We would not hesitate in recommending Deighan's to anyone looking for a genuine and caring independent funeral directors.

    Ian, Shirley,Ken and Ryan,did a fantastic job looking after Dad. They looked after everything from organising the flowers to the service to the order of service. Nothing was too small or a chore for them. Myself and the family are really thankful for the care and dignity they took for Dad's last journey. Really appreciated it.
    Thank you.

    Deighans funeral palour, wow what can I say. From the start, they have been nothing but amazing. Done everything they possibly could to make sure the day went smoothly but also made sure that we was okay every step of the way. Handled my 20 month old son who passed so unexpectedly with so much care and love. They even washed his clothes so that we could have them back. They kept in touch constantly and every touch of detail was there. They went above and beyond from the start and our boys day was so unreal and amazing because of them. I cant thank them enough. Especially, Shirley, Katie, and Ryan. What lovely people and everything they've done will never go unforgotten. They made this process a lot easier than it should have been. Thankyou for giving our baby the best send off ever ❤

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you for your kind words Daniella. What can I say your little boy had a truly beautiful send off which will have a special place in our hearts always. You and Julian are amazing parents and it was an honour to look after your little boy, from the first meeting to the actual day. We are still here for you if you need a chat, a brew or anything. Love to you both xx

    The way Deighans conducted my late husband's funeral could not have been bettered. The staff were all sensitive, caring and professional. Ian, the celebrant did a wonderful job in celebrating my husband's life, interests and achievements. In fact, several relatives and friends commented that it was the best funeral celebration they had ever attended.

    Shirley Deighan replied

  • 5 Carol Lesley Westcott 28th Feb 2021

    Deighan’s were very respectful and efficient in terms of preparing the funeral and carrying it out. It was my first experience of planning a funeral and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if I had to arrange another

  • 5 Emily Dempster 20th Feb 2021

    Between Ryan and Ian they made my mums service lovely and made it all about her and her family which is what my mum was about, they helped us every step of the way, from getting my mum from the hospital as soon as possible as we had mentioned her fear of the hospital, making you feel at ease while visiting your loved one in and out of hours, to the day of the service, they make you feel welcome and like part of the family. I would highly recommend them as they go above and beyond for you in the worst time of your life. Thank you the Dempster Family 😊

  • 5 Steven Green 17th Feb 2021

    From start to finish everything was very professional and the attention to detail was second to none really took the strain of organising at a very difficult time and it’s the little things that make a difference 
    5 STAR 
    thank you 

  • 5 Joanne Jolley 15th Feb 2021

    From start to finish I couldn’t possibly find fault with Deighans. They made the whole experience so much more than we expected. I know there’s a team of them but for us personally Shirley, Ryan and Ian deserve a mention. Ryan’s compassion is something I won’t forget. A little bit of kindness just by knocking on the door to the chapel of rest, to tell my dad he had visitors. I will be forever grateful  for such a small yet massive gesture to us as a family 
    Shirley went through all options to what we needed and advice on what we didn’t need to have with current restrictions in place. 
    And Ian the celebrant was amazing. We sent him lots of emails with memories and facts about my dad. He made his life story so thoughtful yet fun. Just how we like to think he should be remembered. 
    I honestly never wanted to leave a review as I hoped this wouldn’t happen to us as a family this soon but if you ever need to use Deighans funeral parlour they come extremely highly recommended 
    With love from the Jolley family xx
