Hayley and her team had been extremely helpful right from the beginning, guiding us through out the whole process, provided much comfort to us all. Northing was too much trouble, from sorting out the order of services incorporating Chinese characters to sourcing cupcakes. We can't thank them all enough.

In your most difficult moment, you need a Funeral Director who shows empathy and compassion, but steps in respectfully, professionally and diligently to take over with the vital steps that need to take place. Hayley Owen and her wonderful team do that with a calming manner that immediately puts you at ease and makes you simply know your loved ones are in safe, trustworthy hands. The visit a few days later to make the arrangements with Hayley, just reinforced my feeling of calm and trust, in knowing my Mother was being looked after well. Hayley makes you immediately feel like you are in the presence of a friend, who always has your best interests at heart. But in addition to that, she also has the wisdom and experience to step in and calmly offer advice and guidance on tailoring the outcome you are looking for, when you often don't even know yourself what that might look like. From the actual service to the later communication with Hayley's team, you always feel like you are in the care of total professionals who support you every step of the journey. I recommend Hayley Owen and her caring team to anyone who is looking for a Funeral Director in York and the surrounding area to be at your side at the moment you need them most.

Beth handled all of the arrangements with quiet confidence from start to finish. Guided us through the necessary processes, always responded promptly to messages and was always available to talk to us if we wanted to call in.  Everything went seamlessly on the day of the funeral.

  • 5 John Hare 6th Jul 2023

    From the moment I entered her reception Hayley put me at ease and proceeded to explain everything I needed to know.
    Through the legal requirements down to the practical things which I may not have thought of.
    Hayley is a very professional Funeral Director but also a very understanding and caring lady and I felt very safe under her guidance.

  • 5 Joanne Sayner 4th Jul 2023

    Mum didn’t want a fuss for her funeral just a straight in and out, but with Hayley’s and help and understanding we managed a lovely short service for all her family and friends that wanted to say goodbye.  Hayley Owen has taken care of both my mum and dad in a very dignified, caring and professional manner and I would highly recommend her.

  • 5 Bernadette Warren 14th Jun 2023

    Starting with the bassness of money, Haley Owen's services are better than cometetive.

    There is no hard selling. There are no hidden extras. Her knowledge is vast and accessible.

    From start to finish, Hayley Owen and her remarkable colleagues made my life through these hard times easy and painless.
    Patience and Beth, Haley and her Boys, thank you for your clarity and generosity of spirit, your ESP, and your exceptional standards.



  • 5 Gary Dickinson 14th Jun 2023

    I chose Haley Owen Funeral Directors because it was a family run local firm, and I made the right choice. From our first meeting the team was so professional, efficient and supportive. I cannot thank them enough for what they did and how they did it in such a difficult time. Highly Recommend 

  • 5 Angela Johnson 14th Jun 2023

    From the initial call to the care shown at the funeral, we can only compliment the staff for their professionalism and courtesy shown to our family.

  • 5 Derrick Austin 5th Jun 2023

    Choosing a Funeral Director is a rare occurrence under a traumatic experience, one that has to be right on so many levels. The team at Hayley Owen, in the shape of Dave and Beth were out within the hour, despite Bank Holiday weekend, to collect mum. Better equipped than an NHS ambulance for transportation, mum was collected from home and transported with ease and grace. The compassion, sympathy, personal touch, experience was second to none. On-hand support and direction for filling out forms and reimbursing costs options took the pressure off when difficult to focus. With 24hr support, only a call away with advice and providing regular updates. Fully accommodating visits to see mum at rest was a lovely touch to say goodbye. Pricing was very competitive and didn't detract from a flawless service in which mum's final wish of cremation was fulfilled. Outstanding.

  • 5 Dawn Jameson 30th May 2023
