  • 5 Anne Shaw 28th Feb 2025

    I cannot thank Susan, Cathy and all the team enough for everything they did for me. There were a lot of geographically-distant family involved in the planning; it became very complicated and we unintentionally ran them ragged right up to the last moment. Somehow they pulled it off perfectly and were so kind and understanding. My husband Mark had a beautiful send-off and I couldn't have done it without Susan and her fantastic team.
    In short, I cannot recommend Susan Whymark Funeral Service Ltd highly enough - thank you so much for all you did xx

    Cathy Cunningham-Elliott replied
    Thank you for your kind comments Anne. It was a privilege to be able to help arrange the send off you wanted for Mark.

    Dear Sarah, thank you so much for these words. Nathan was such a lovely man, it has been such a tough time for you and your whole family. Im so glad you felt supported and glad it all went how you wanted. Susan

    Without a shadow of doubt we would recommend Susan Whymark funeral services and her whole team. At what has been an extremely delicate time for us all, we have been gently guided through the process of loosing a loved one, with the upmost care and attention to detail. It is extremely difficult to say what we expected at this time, but Susan surpassed all expectations and we all felt incredibly safe in her hands 🤍🕊

    Susan Whymark replied
    Thank you for your lovely review Shaun. It has been an absolute privilege to look after lovely Debbie and all your amazing family. It was such a beautiful occasion for her and my complete honour to do this for her. Im so glad it was everything you wanted.

  • 5 Nicholas Creek 2nd Sep 2024

    Susan and her team are sensitive and kind everything was conducted professionally and with a compassionate approach. My family and I felt completely comfortable with them. The pall bearers were able to show my daughter how to carry the coffin and were gentle and supportive with her. This Is the third time we have used Susan, we will never use anyone else as long as she is still working.

    Susan Whymark replied
    Thank you for your words. Im so glad you felt so supported. Im so sorry you have had to use us 3 times but glad we have been able to help you each time.
