John and his team were there for us from the beginning. They were very caring and compassionate, but always professional. There for us when we needed advice and guidance. Nothing was too much trouble. They took the worry away from us when arranging what we had to do after our sad loss, and helped us through everything. The funeral itself was as perfect as a funeral could be. Would highly recommend.

A Slater & Sons were highly recommended to us by the local community after a poll on social media.  Being 300 miles away I required a funeral direct I could trust. John and Donna were so accommodating to my extensive wish list, communication was first class, nothing was a bother.  They excelled in everything, their meticulous planning, quality of service and materials was the best.  I left a lot of trust in John and Donna and they surpassed my expectations.  I can’t thank them enough.  The people of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne area are so lucky to have such a fantastic funeral director. On behalf of all the family thank you, you made a difficult day special.

    Wonderful service from start to finish . John and Donna were really nice about everything and extremely helpful. Thankyou so much

  • 5 Sarah Askew 15th Jun 2024

    Can’t thank Slaters enough. They enabled us to give dad the send off he deserved. The service they gave all the way through was excellent, guiding us through the whole process with the empathy & support to make it as painless as possible. Informing us of all the options available but also advising us when they thought it was for our best interest. The same excellent service was provided by the florist, Pastor & venue with whom they recommended & worked with to provide the whole package. Couldn’t have wished for better.

    John, Donna and the team at A Slater & Sons have all been wonderful in their support for the family during such a sad time, when Dad passed away unexpectedly.  They have been amazing in helping the family navigate the funeral arrangements, and organising such a beautiful and fitting service to say goodbye. Nothing is too much trouble, from looking after Dad (and us) and managing all the arrangements so beautifully and with such respect and dignity, it really was so comforting during such an awful time.

    The service we received from A Slaters & sons was outstanding from the first phone call to the day of mums cremation, they gave advice,support and cared for all the family during the process, Donna was amazing and gave me all the support to get me through all the difficult decisions that needed to be made, the care given to mum on her final journey was outstanding. Thank you

  • 5 Trevor Millican 10th May 2024

    My experience with Slaters was brilliant. Donna was very professional and gave us confidence that everything was in hand during a difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble and if I couldn't get hold of Donna, John Slater was back to me within minutes. Highly recommended.
