When asked which funeral director we wished to use, we requested Farriers as they are a local, long-standing company that I have only ever heard positive things about. I am so glad we did. Each and every member of staff we came into contact with before, during and after the funeral was friendly but professional and able to guage the tone required precisely - a real talent when dealing with people going through a heartbreaking time. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to accommodate a viewing outside of standard hours. They made sure we understood everything and that we didn't have any further questions or requirements during the entire process, a necessity when dealing with grief-stricken people. The funeral itself was dignified, respectful and faultless throughout. I have absolutely no hesitation highly recommending Farriers. I cannot thank Sarah and her colleagues enough for making a very hard time that much easier.

Extremely professional and caring service. Sarah was very supportive, explained everything, ensured the family’s requirements were met and made the whole process run smoothly. Thank you very much.
