We could not have asked for anything more from Hayley Owen Funerals. From the day of our fathers passing all the way through the process of funeral arrangements and the day itself, ...  the support we received from the team and David was second to none.  Having not arranged a funeral before, David walked through every step and gave us more options than we ever expected. Everything was handled with genuine care.  We cannot recommend Hayley Owen Funerals enough.  more

Sue Simpson 18th Feb 2025

It was a very sad time in my life as my Father had just passed away.The care home that had been looking after my Father suggested Hayley Owen to be honest I had never heard of them ...  but they were recommended so I went with the recommendation. A lovely lady called Beth telephoned me to make an appointment to visit me at my house which is obviously much better than in some office.Beth attended my house punctual.I invited her in and she was so softly spoken, professional yet with a very kind manner about her and in all honesty she sorted everything out for me and my family which was very much appreciated.Beth made a very,very sad time much more bearable.Nothing was a problem and my Brother took Dad's ashes back to Spain and Beth even sorted that out for us. I would recommend Hayley Owen Funeral Directors to absolutely with no hesitation to anyone that has a loved one that has died for either a burial or cremation 101%. more

    Hayley Owen funeral Director . Boroughbridge Road York did my dear mums funeral recently . I wanted her to have funeral fit  for a Queen we all do I soppose and she got it. I am an end of life nurse I knew I’d be in no state after mums death to be looking for a funeral director  so I had done a lot  of research before mum died I had talked to Hayley Owens about mum before she died and had said I was using them they were supportive and kind and documented my wishes. It was a weight lifted People just ring a local funeral director after their loved one dies  I ve seen it hundreds of times . I did ring round email and look at websites pricing etc before mum died  Hayley Owens wasn’t local to me she was 25 miles away and did the funeral about 75 miles away. I felt Hayley David Angela and Beth had not got numb emotionally working in this industry .  They were so in tune with the rawness we as a family felt and the respect to my late mum and the family was excep ... tional. It was a complicated funeral I thought due to locations but Hayley Owens  just quietly sorted it , seamlessly . I know I was overthinking and fussy but I never felt that from Hayley Owens . When I say nothing was too much trouble I mean it . The things I’d forgotten  they had covered they had it all in hand . I was fragile I realise now and Hayley Owens was like big safe hug guiding me but not taking advantage at all . Everything was transparent itemised printed out I knew exactly how much it was all going to be . I feel mum got a beautiful send off within the reach of most people .  more

  • 5 Stephen Hallett 27th Dec 2024

    I want to express my thanks for the way your firm conducted the arrangements around my wife's funeral. Everyone I came into contact with undertook their tasks with professionalism, effeciency,and, most importantly, kindness, from the gentlemen who attended shortly after my wife's death, and , in particular, Beth who made the arrangements. This wasn't the simplest of funerals with a number of changes along the way which she coped with admirably. She is a credit to the firm. Again, my thanks to everyone for your wonderful service.
