I would fully recommend Farrier's to anyone requiring funeral services. They are extremely caring and professional, gently guiding you through the decisions you need to make to create the most fitting service for your loved one.

From start to finish the service provided was first class. Nothing was any trouble for them and they even went out of their way to stay on after hours to accommodate us due to work. Following the day their aftercare is still second to none.

Adam at WJ Farrier was an excellent funeral director and made the whole process as easy as it could be. All the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.
