  • 5 Angela Ricketts 14th Dec 2020

    Excellent, compassionate, friendly service.... went out of their way to accommodate requests, we spoke everyday on the phone about aspects of the funeral, the service felt very personal. 
    They promised to look after mum when she was with them and we felt this was sincere. 
    They were very helpful as we priced up the funeral, they gave costings when asked straightaway which helped us to plan the funeral we could afford. Although the funeral was held during this COVID season everything was done wonderfully well and we all felt the day (although very sad) could not have gone better. Thank you in particular to Ian and Ryan for all the care we received as a family.

  • 5 Shanice Casey 4th Dec 2020

  • 5 Helen Brown 21st Nov 2020

  • 5 Jane Hemingway 8th Nov 2020

    Deighan’s provided an excellent service from start to finish. Ian was very helpful throughout and helped guide us with decisions. He presented a very moving service at Overdale which was enhanced with a photo tribute. The mourners unable to attend the service were able to link to a Webcast which was a valued option in these difficult times.
    The family would have no hesitation in recommending Deighan’s.

    Through a very sad time Deighans were wonderful. They looked after Dad for 2 weeks until we could hold the funeral and were always really helpful and sorted things we hadn’t even thought off .

  • 5 Julie Gee-Clough 12th Aug 2020

    10 out of 10, 5 star service received from Deighan's Funeral Parlour. Ian was fabulous, so compassionate and a truly genuine and sincere person. He went above and beyond in arranging Mary's funeral, nothing was too much trouble, he put our minds at ease and made the daunting process of arranging a funeral so much easier, he really wants to provide the best send off for a loved one as he possibly can. Thank you so much.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you for your kind words Peter. Rick's service was a lovely occasion at St. Elizabeth's Church, made all the more perfect by that wonderful round of applause as he left the church to the soothing brass band sound of 'The Floral Dance'.

    The service we received was excellent. It was professional personal and friendly. We were kept updated every step of the way. Mum was well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The funeral was thoughtful and caring and better than we could wish for during this lockdown. What could have been such an ordeal was smooth and as pain free as possible. My family cannot thank you enough .

    Can't thank them enough for there help and guidance under such stressful circumstances. With the loss of our eldest granson Jack Wright at only 23 years old . This is so painful as I type this but my family and Jack was treated with utmost dignity and respect .Under unprecedented circumstances with the Coroner Virus restrictions in place at this time . Thanks again from ....Robert Skillington and Glynis Holden ....Jack's grandad and Nana

  • 5 Beverley Crerar 23rd Mar 2020

    Deighan’s were spot on in all they did for us. They were helpful, professional, sympathetic but up beat. Ian did dad proud with his eulogy and an 80 year old lady said ‘it was the best funeral she had been to’....I think that was a compliment! Thank you. 

  • 5 Judith Bowling 16th Mar 2020

    I thought that both Shirley and Ian were extremely helpful friendly and very caring Also they went to great lengths to make sure everything was done to our needs and the service was conducted perfectly.

  • 5 John Burgess 24th Feb 2020

    I would not have wanted my Mother to have been looked after by anyone else. 
    Dieghans could not have been any more helpful from start to finish. They made the whole process so much easier. 
    Thank you!
