I cannot speak too highly of Hayley Owen and her team. They were excellent in every way - accommodating, caring, discreet, respectful and extremely efficient. Both I and my family are truly grateful for their superb attention to detail I would not hesitate to recommend them.

  • 5 Robert Waite 22nd Jan 2021

    When in a time of great sadness and feeling completely lost, Hayley Owen and her staff filled that void with a sympathetic and efficient service, I could not have asked for more. As I am 70 years old I have had dealings with other Funeral Directors and it is when I called on the services of Hayley Owen that one realises what a proper service in awful times she provides.

    We needed funeral services in York after the death of my mother. Our choice of Hayler Owen was based on recommendations and reviews I found online as we do not live in the UK.
    We were very pleased and so relieved by the professional, empathic, services provided by Hayley and her team. Victoria and David were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. They guided us through the whole process.
    We were concerned because my famiily in the UK were mostly shielding from COVID. With Victoria's help a Service of Committal was arranged at the crematorium and was conducted with dignity and comforting words by a wonderful local minister. As it was unattended, Victoria arranged a video link and the actual service was watched online by family and friends in four countries.
    I had numerous thanks from family afterwards who felt that they had beeen part of the proceedings and that their beloved relative had received a compassionate and moving funeral.
    Thanks Hayley, Victoria and David for being there for us at that difficult time.
    We would highly recommend you.

  • 5 Catherine Darley 5th Jan 2021

    Nothing too much trouble. Excellent service from start to finish. Friendly, efficient and basically wonderful :-) ! Funeral organized in a very short turnaround time just before Christmas. We are all very grateful.

  • 5 Mike Carlton 4th Jan 2021

    A very professional service with a very personal touch. Hayley took care of everything for my mother’s funeral to a very good standard.

  • 5 peter wong 3rd Jan 2021

    My dad sadly passed away in December, Hayley Owen was recommended to us by a friend. From the start Heyley took us through the process, explaining the various items that needed to be consider and made suggestions where we were unsure. Because of our Chinese heritage we had to follow certain customs and traditions, such as the colour of the vehicles, the large number of flowers tributes with dedicated white ribbons, the order of service incorporating Chinese characters and the recording of the service for friends and relative who were unable to attend the funeral due to Covid restrictions. All these were no problem to Hayley and her team. On the day of the funeral, everything went as planned, from the chapel service to the burial and everyone managed to say a final farewell to dad, which was a great comfort to us as a family but particularly to my mum. We are very grateful for the care and attention Hayley Owen Funeral Services have shown through out the whole process and would recommend them highly.

  • 5 Mary Stabler 2nd Jan 2021

    Hayley was lovely - she came out to see us personally despite Covid & explained the whole process very clearly & sensitively. She also recommended a celebrant who was excellent. She was informative but not pushy with any of the arrangements. On the day she was calm & reassuring & helped us all get through the day. We were very happy with her service.

  • 5 Chris Church 1st Jan 2021
