I cannot recommend Hayley Owen highly enough.
My late partner's funeral was arranged by Hayley and her team with a compassionate and user-friendly approach. It was clear from the various elements of the funeral, including the choice of the fantastic celebrant - Nicholas Boole (who also had an army background like my late partner) that Hayley Owen is creative, sensitive and thoughtful. No corners were cut and I am so grateful to them for creating a beautiful celebration of his life, something that was also commented upon by the attendees.

5Dave Barker28th Sep 2022
Fantastic and sensitive service sadly the third time in 2 years I’ve used Hayley Owen she was extremely helpful from the very start of the process of making arrangements all the way through to the day of the service itself when she and her colleagues were so kind and respectful to me and all who were in attendance. Hayley was able to put me in touch with a brilliant Celebrant Teresa who lead such a wonderful service.
The costs are very reasonable and the communication from Kathryn at all stages of the process was outstanding. I would strongly recommend Leverton & Sons for anyone who sadly finds themselves needing to make arrangements for a loved one.

Only thing not excellent was the feeling of the hurry. I understand why the time limit but I think we managed it well ourselves.Not to worry everyone said it was the best funeral ever! Thankyou Monica

Hayley was brilliant and she supported me through the worst time of my life she dealt with everything to do with the funeral which involved organising it in Derby when we are in York
5Jeremy Pilkington21st Sep 2022
Hayley and her team provided my brother and I with a commendably professional, personal and caring service at a very difficult time for us – the death of our mother. Such an experience for us was without precedent and so we really valued Hayley's compassion and patience guiding us through the process – which she did with sincerity and professionalism. I highly recommend Hayley Owen Funeral Services, York.
