From start to finish the team at Hathaways were amazing. Professional and very very caring. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond in every aspect. The whole process was smooth and exactly what we, as a family, asked for. Thankyou so much 🩷

    What can I say I had a very difficult situation due to my mother in law as me and my husband were separated they handled this with dignity and respect at all times. The staff are lovely and supportive and I went for a coffin with a football image on Tom found one that was perfect. I'm now in the process of sorting somthing out for me and when it's time to say goodbye to my parents they will be my o my choice. Even the funeral home is set out nice. I can not thank them enough for how I was helped from walking in the door and bursting into tears to the funeral day once again thank you from the bottom of my heart you made a bad arkward situation turn into an amazing lovy day.

  • 5 Hazel Cope 26th Jun 2022

    Hathaway Funeral Directors provided me and my family with a professional service recently. Nothing was too much trouble and Tom the funeral director was always easy to contact and has a sincere and friendly manner.
    I would highly recommend this independent business over any of the big firms that offer funerals.
    The prices are very clear and you can tailor your funeral to your exact requirements.
    Praise is deserved to all of the team who made the day go smoothly
