I cant recommend Hayley and her team at Darleys enough. The before, during and after care is second to none and made the whole day alot easier for myself and my family. The chapel was peaceful and respectful and we got to spend some final moments with mum in perfect surroundings. The attention to detail was outstanding and nothing was to much for them in the planning of the funeral.

Hayley and all the team at Darley's went above and beyond making it a memorable funeral, befitting my Brother and Sister-in-Law. Thank you

Could not have asked for a better group of people than Hayley and the team at Darley’s to support us in the arrangement of my Dad’s funeral. Rather than an impersonal tick box process, Hayley & Julie really took the time to get to know my Mum and I and the life we had with Dad and the kindness, sensitivity and compassion they showed us (and most importantly, my Dad) has been second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for the team and we can confidently say they have made the worst time of our lives much easier (if that is even possible). We didn’t even know where to begin with planning my Dad’s farewell but the Darley’s family made sure the process was as pain free as possible, allowing us as much time as we needed to make every decision. Darley’s ensured the day was the perfect celebration of his life and for that, we really cannot thank them enough. Every step of the process has been exemplary; initial planning, the day itself and our ongoing after support. Funeral care is never something you want to be able to recommend to others but we really could not recommend Darley’s enough, they are a very special group of people.

About Us
Darley Funeral Directors is a funeral director in York, offering a personal, family service to bereaved families throughout the region.
Established by funeral director Hayley Spencer in 2018, after 11 years of working for a larger firm, Darley Funeral Directors is staffed entirely by family and friends. Every member of the team is compassionate and professional - the team of pallbearers worked together for 40 years at Nestlé before retiring. Friendship, community and care are truly at the heart of the business.
Darley are a caring, modern family business who pride themselves on a personal, friendly approach. Unlike some funeral directors, they have remained deliberately small, so that they can spend time with families and really get to know them and the person whose life is being celebrated.
The funeral home in York is cosy and welcoming, and Hayley will always be there to greet you with a cup of tea or coffee. Home visits can also be arranged if you prefer to arrange the funeral in the comfort of your own home.
