I would recommend J Parkinson and sons to anyone, we were treated with the utmost respect and all our wishes were fulfilled. Mums funeral service by them was of the highest standard.

From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. The added bonus of having a Facebook page for people to leave messages about your departed really helps with the grieving process.  The time they put into making your loved ones day special is second to none.  Could not fault them.  Would use again but hopefully not too soon xx

    The funeral director was courteous and helpful, and provided all the guidance we needed. The funeral went very smoothly indeed, and the hearse and limousines looked beautiful.
