Excellent, personal service throughout from the initial phone call to the after funeral care.  Joanne was amazing at tailoring my mums and our wishes for a beautiful celebration of my mums life, while providing advice and support to us all.  This is the second time we have had Susan Whymark as our funeral director.  Would highly recommend, don’t go anywhere else!

  • 5 Rebecca Hibbert 14th Jun 2024

    I cannot thank you and your staff enough for the amazing care throughout the whole process. I was a little lost at the beginning but was helped through every step and someone was always around to answer any queries I had. I would whole heartedly recommend you. The service itself was beautiful and I couldn't have wished for anything more. Thank you all for your kindness and care during the most difficult of times.

  • 5 Rob Hodder 5th Jun 2024

    Our family have used Susan Whymark twice, once in 2010 when Dad passed away and now in 2024 when Mum passed. 

    Each time they have been both personally caring and totally professional, even down to small touches like having an ample supply of umbrellas ready for a rainy committal. As an independent company they also fit with our preference to use local businesses. 

    Heaven forbid we should need them again too soon, but we won’t hesitate when the time comes. 

  • 5 Catherine Jagger 27th May 2024

    We had no hesitation in contacting you for mum after you looked after our father’s funeral 14 years ago.Your service is highly professional but more importantly your friendly manner seems effortless and is priceless at such an emotionally charged time. THANK YOU 🙏  Catherine and Mark Jagger

    Mandy was very kind, caring, professional and empathetic and supported us throughout the whole process. I was very grateful for her and Ian Moore's advice and help through a very sad and difficult time arranging Mum and Dad's joint funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and the day went very smoothly. The team showed the greatest respect and dignity, I would highly recommend their services.

  • 5 Victoria Bingham 16th Apr 2024

  • 5 Marion Barker 15th Apr 2024

    When my husband Pete passed away I always knew he wanted Susan to carry out his funeral. My son Ian and I called into the office in Eye and Susan was absolutely fantastic making all the arrangements and was so patient when I got it all wrong !!! She was so sympathetic, caring so kind and considerate. I went and said goodbye to Pete and he looked so peaceful dressed up in his funeral tails and funeral clothes. The funeral service went off without a hitch, she was absolutely marvellous, so kind and caring. I would recommend Susan Whymark Funeral Services to everyone. Thank you so much.
