Sarah was an absolute star in a difficult time. She was so helpful and kind, it really helped ease the burden 

Lesley Ann Hayes 25th Sep 2023

I found Sarah to be extremely helpful, caring and where possible very accommodating and sensitive.  The staff on the day were professional and thoughtful and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from all of them.  Thank you

    Once again the Co operative Meridian Funeral Directors looked after us and our loved one with support sympathy and consideration. We would have no reservations in recommending them to ourfamily friends and neighbour's. Sarah Cunningham at Drayton Meridian was amazing

  • 5 Jenny Tait 30th Aug 2023

    I can’t thank Sarah enough for her calm, compassion and competence at a time when it was most needed. She guided me through the process, making something that was daunting into something manageable, culminating in a beautiful and honouring service for my Dad.
    Thank you so much Sarah!

    Outstanding service Sarah became like a best friend to me and I couldn't have got through it without her.

  • 5 Sharon Gough 21st Aug 2023

    Meridian funeral directors at Drayton were outstanding in their kindness, compassion & attention to detail for arranging my Mum's funeral. They took away the stresses that come when a loved one passes away. My whole experience with them, from looking after Mum to the service itself, was conducted by professional, caring and wonderful staff. Thank you to all of you. ❤️🙏

    Excellent, supportive of the family and helpful with facilitating his last wishes

  • 5 Douglas Messenger 25th Jul 2023

    Sarah was amazing! I live in Australia, which inevitably complicated matters, but Sarah rallied around and organised everything for me. She has such a personal touch and is so genuinely engaged with those entrusted to her care, I felt like I was dealing with a member of my extended family!

    Thanks so much, Sarah.

  • 5 Ian Hough 24th Jul 2023

    On behalf of Ian and all the family we couldn't be more grateful not only for the care to Elsie, but for all the advice and support throughout.
    Many thanks to all involved

    I can't praise Sarah and all the personnel at Drayton Funeral enough, they did a wonderful job from start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost care and respect for us the family and the VIP in the room. I would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Nigel Slade 3rd Jul 2023

    Sarah is magnificent.
    She organised everything and coordinated between different agencies to ensure the best experience possible under very challenging circumstances for our family.
    Thank you

    I am afraid this is not the rating I would have liked to give and it is not entirely a reflection of the staff. Staff being the operative word. There is a shortage of staff and I feel that this has resulted in short comings and a miss match in communication. Tasks have not been completed when they should have been and on a number of instances phone calls and emails remained unanswered.

  • 5 Jane Austin 6th Mar 2023

    I recently used Drayton Funeralcare for my Mum's arrangements. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. She was engaging, helpful, knowledgeable, experienced and kind. The costs were favourable compared to other providers. A great place to go through a difficult time and Sarah took all the confusion away.

  • 5 Liz Furmedge 20th Feb 2023

    Sarah looked after us very well right from the very start of our father passing to collecting his ashes. She was kind, patient , professional and knowledgeable, nothing we asked was too much trouble. Everything ran smoothly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

  • 5 Robin Stilwell 20th Feb 2023

    We were looked after from beginning to end and Sarah ensured everything ran very very smoothly-we could not have asked for better

  • 5 Jackie Twine 20th Feb 2023

    Really loved the way they took care of Mum, and their kindness and compassion throughout. Would highly recommend.
