The funeral itself on the day and the care by Conner and the team was excellent. Unfortunately the administration prior was poor. The office was communicating via email alas they miss typed the email address, therefore we went two weeks with no communication at all and nobody from Henry Paul thought that they would call to chase up why there was no response from the family. This resulted in a tight deadline of submission of information for photos and order of service which we were not prepared for. With the exception of this aspect the team at Henry Paul were professional, caring and delivered all aspects necessary with a high standard.

Right from the start Millie was welcoming, caring, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, and helped us through the process from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Henry Paul to my family and friends. Thank you for your care in making sure Ken had a funeral he would have approved of.

Erin Knight 17th May 2024

As a family going through the most difficult time of our lives we cant thank the team at Henry Paul Funerals enough. From the moment they arrived to take our mum we knew she and we were in good hands. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was seamless and their friendly, personal touch meant everything to us. They took care of everything including us and most importantly our mum. I’m so grateful that it was you guys that accompanied us on our final journey with our mum. Thank you ❤️

  • 5 Richard Brown 14th Apr 2024

    Jan was terrific and helped me through all of the difficult stages with quiet professionalism. I’d highly recommend using Henry Paul to help see off your loved one.

  • 4 David Knight 18th Mar 2024

    All handled v smoothly and efficiently. Our only issue was with the volume of the 'background' music in the service, which drowned out the tribute - but that was maybe not under HPF's control. 

    Connor Jeffery replied
    Thank you for your review David. Im sorry to hear the music at the crematorium was too loud, I will make sure to let them know that they need to rectify this. Kindest regards and best wishes.

    I can't thank Henry Paul Services and there staff enough. They were fantastic - from the moment they respectfully took Dad away the day he died, to supporting us all with the Funeral arrangements and Dad final send off following the Church service. We are deeply saddened by our loss, however there kindness and support was a great help during this time.

    Henry Paul were compassionate and empathetic throughout this hard time.

A special mention to Liz who was amazing at helping us during this time.
