    An observation but not a criticism the location is not conducive for co-ordinating arrangements in a reassuring manner
     also  the appearance of the shop and the area behind are seemingly uneasy , inadequate and not reassuring

    The unexpected death of my husband was made much easier by the guidance and care given by Moores. The explanation and service given at the time of the funeral was faultless and made everything so much easier for us to deal with.

  • 5 Stephanie Owen 25th Nov 2024

    We found them to be friendly, polite, professional and courteous. They tailored the service to what we wanted and our budget. We never felt pressured to spend more. They never rushed us, even though it was passed closing time. They couldn't do enough. We found that alot of funeral directors weren't transparent but there were no hidden costs with Moores. Traditional funeral directors and not part of a group. They were excellent very happy. Thank you.

  • 5 David Byerley 16th Nov 2024

    I would like to thank Angela and the staff of Moore’s for their support during this difficult time.
    The fact that my brothers funeral went smoothly is down to their professionalism and attention to detail.

  • 5 Robert Kenyon 20th Oct 2024

    I and my family were very impressed by Moore's Traditional Funeral Directors from the moment we spoke tentatively with the funeral arranger, Angela to arrange an appointment.  The information she and her colleague provided in advance of that meeting was most helpful in guiding us towards a most wonderful funeral for my wife.  I was touched by the consideration and care shown towards us all -  but me in particular - before, during and after the event.  

  • 5 Ann Treagust 20th Oct 2024

    Angela was wonderful and made a difficult time so much easier and anything went smoothly on the day of the funeral.

  • 5 Lindsey Dunnage 18th Oct 2024

  • 5 Sarah Burgess 22nd Sep 2024

    They are very caring. And look after your every need. They keep in contact with you all the way through this sad time.
    I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for my family and I. Thank you.

  • 5 Penelope Sherwood 10th Sep 2024

    The last few weeks  have been incredibly difficult for us all but the kindness and care shown by Marie and Lesley at Moores helped us to navigate the many hurdles as easily as possible. They were always ready to help at every stage when things seemed too complicated to face. They allowed us to manage things in a way that we found comfortable and I know that my sons found it really helpful to be able to deal with everything with humour as well as sadness. They helped us to plan a ceremony that was a true celebration of the life of an amazing man. It was such a fitting tribute to him and we are so grateful that they enabled that to happen.
    I have to mention the couple who collected Rich when he died. They treated him with such kindness and dignity that although it was hard to let him go, I felt he was safe in their hands. 

  • 5 Joy Jones 7th Aug 2024

    So helpful throughout the whole process of the funeral.
