All the staff at Viner&Sons were very professional, understanding and caring at a very difficult time. All went smoothly, nothing was too much trouble. Help and guidance was always available when needed. Thank you.

Paul Holt 9th Nov 2022

A very professional, genuine company that were nothing short of perfect at a very difficult time. Special mention to Kerrie who was genuine and an incredible asset to the company. 

Emma McDougall 5th Nov 2022

I cannot speak highly enough of Viner & Sons. I would love them to take care of every future funeral my family will one day need - that’s how much trust I place in them! Professionalism, sensitivity, patience & kindness over and above the call of duty. The name ‘Viners’ and ‘Kerrie’ (who dealt with Mum’s funeral), became comforting words in our household. Their reassurance every step of the way and the knowledge that they were doing their utmost best for our Mum was such a comfort to us. We even went for a family cup of tea with Kerrie at Viners on the day after the funeral when we collected Mum’s ashes and I can honestly say although it may sound strange, it was an uplifting lovely moment which we all enjoyed. Thankyou to ALL the team at Viner & Sons from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our most precious Mummy in her final journey. Love from Emma, Sarah, Robin & George McDougall.

    Viner and Sons gave our Mum the perfect send off. Everything ran really smoothly, thank you!
    Nathan was amazing, caring and very professional. He made what was a very hard and difficult time, easier. There wasn't anything that he wouldn't do. Any questions we had Nathan answered and when we were struggling to do the video link, he dealt with it for us.
    We felt that Mum was really looked after while in their care.
    I would highly recommend Viner and Sons and would definitely use them again.

  • 5 Tessa Patton 19th Aug 2022

    When you are going through such a painful time you need someone to be kind , empathetic and professional,  Viners & Sons were the perfect choice. We were greeted by a young lady called Kerrie, who went over and beyond to make us feel at ease and efficiently made arrangements for the Service.
    On the day the Pallbearers/drivers timed the day to perfection and nothing was too much trouble.
    We would totally recommend Viners & Sons to help make such a difficult  time more bearable. 

  • 5 Claire Baker 16th Aug 2022
