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

The service sheet expertly arranged, help with finding a vicar for service and florist for the flowers, all recommended by Hayley Owen and providing excellent service.

    Hayley and Dave were lovely when dealing with my husbands funeral. Hayley made things very easy for the whole family at a time when my brain was on strike.

    They both went out of their way to accommodate our needs (with Dave being there for us after hours), at a time when Hayley was grieving too.

    I would happily recommend using them to anyone.

  • 5 Kath Harmeston 16th Jan 2023

    Hayley and her team provided an excellent and very supportive process, from start to finish, for my dad's funeral.
    Every little detail was given attention and the funeral itself went exactly to plan.
    I cannot praise this team enough for what they did for my family at such a difficult time.
    I would highly recommend the services Hayley and her team provide - especially funeral planning during the early stages of a terminal diagnosis of a loved one.

  • 4 Vanessa Kew 16th Jan 2023

    I was very pleased with the service Hayley Owen funeral services gave, with the prompt arrival in the early hours of the morning after the death of my father. I found her very professional from start to finish. The only thing I would say I would of liked a little guidance on when to go into and out of the funeral as this was my first funeral.

  • 5 Amie Goulding 12th Jan 2023

    I was blown away with how well we were looked after by Hayley Owens team. Patience took my brother, sister and me through every step of organising our Mums funeral. Patience was amazing! She put us at ease straight away, listened to everything we had to say and made great suggestions for the proper send off we were looking for.
    The day of the funeral ran perfectly and this was down Patience and the team being calm, experienced and well presented.
    I would highly recommend the service Hayley Owen provides. They make a horrible situation that bit easier by being caring, patient and respectful.

    Hayley Owen were just what we needed at such a sad and difficult time. They were totally professional in all our dealings with them and delivered exactly what we asked for of them.

  • 5 Lillian Smith 28th Dec 2022

    The service provided by Hayley and staff; in particular Patience, was exceptional. They were transparent from the start about the cost and what to expect. Everyone we dealt with were knowledgable, nothing was too much trouble. Patience showed a great deal of understanding and compassion; making a very difficult time in unchartered territory more bearable.
    My mother and I have been shown great empathy by everyone at Hayley Owen. They provide a kind, reliable service, even beyond the funeral. 
    I highly recommend Hayley Owen and would not hesitate in using them again should the need arise.
