Beth and the team were amazing through such a difficult time 

Bethany Redburn 5th May 2023

At a very difficult time of our lives, Hayley and her team provided an excellent service, and held our hand through making difficult decisions. They remained respectful throughout, whilst also making sure that our needs were explored and that our wishes were put in place. Joel was well taken care of from the moment he was collected from the Hospice to the moment we collected his ashes and we can't thank the team enough for this. 5/5. We wish never to see her again.

    I cannot thank enough, Patience and the team at Hayley Owen. Although a very difficult time for my family and I, they really helped relieve me of all the worry and pressure when planning a funeral. From the initial phone conversation to paying the final bill, I was met with kindness and professionalism. I had rang around a few other funeral directors prior to ringing Hayley Owens and just didn't feel the warmth or understanding that Patience showed me. They organised everything perfectly, made thoughtful suggestions I would not have maybe considered and I was able to execute on all of my Dad's wishes. Thank you so much Hayley Owen and team, I would definitely recommend your services to anyone in the future.

    Haley organised a lovely funeral for my mother.

    The day went like clockwork.

  • 5 Kate Harrison 6th Mar 2023

    Wonderful service provided. Very helpful, attentive and thoughtful staff who were highly knowledgeable and offered good advice throughout making it as difficulty free as was possible at such a distressing time.

  • 5 Janet Shaw 3rd Mar 2023

    Everything was discussed in a relaxed and comfortable environment with compassion. This made the whole experience much less stressful. 

  • 5 Nicole Hobson 24th Feb 2023

    Arranging my own mothers funeral was the most difficult thing to do, but Hayley are her team helped an awful process so much nicer.
    From having a selection of caskets to choose from (and the seagrass was lovely- just perfect for my mum).
    I’m not sure if all funeral directors do as much as Hayley does, but from liaising with the wake venue, the humanist celebrant, the flowers and sorting the order of service- they took so much stress away with their flawless organisational skills, and it was much more than I expected.
    Also the finishing touches: the personalised collection box and the touching angel card (that has flower seeds on) I received in the post after the funeral.
    Hayley’s team do an amazing job, and I would thoroughly recommend them.

  • 5 David Coverdale 23rd Feb 2023

    I cannot praise the team at Hayley Owen enough. From start to finish the service I and my family received was excellent. Patience guided the family to provide a funeral appropriate to my dads wishes. My dad was not religious but was proud of is army days. Patience instrumental in contacting Nicholas Boole to be the master celebrant. Excellent advise. Everyone at the furneral left saying how proud my dad would have been.

  • 5 Jo Mews 22nd Feb 2023

    Hayle and all the team handled ever aspect of my dads funeral arrangements with efficiency, care and warmth. Hayle rang me each Friday to check I was ok as I had told her this was my special day with my dad where I would take him flowers and food etc.
    Its a small family business where you are a person not just a number. Hayle talked us through all the options of things like the coffin and guided us through things like using a humanist Celebrant making everything so easy.
    I can strongly recommend using them. Nothing was too much trouble and we had complete confidence in them and their service. Thankyou so much Hayle
