What a horrible process made simple and easy by the kindness and professionalism of everyone who works there. From John who got my dad, to Joanne who guided me through, to Mandy and the bearers who took care of the process on the day. Thank you, I felt supported at a time when I lost my last parent. Thank you xx

Imogen Parfitt 27th May 2023

We didn't have to worry about anything for the funeral of my mother. Susan has a very reassuring manner which goes a long way in these circumstances. The funeral and later buriel were conducted in a friendly professional way. We would recommend Susan and team wholeheartedly. Thank you.

  • 5 Adrian Tytherleigh 16th May 2023

    From the moment when Ian called to move Janet's body to their chapel to the moment after the service when Mandy escorted us to the onsite restaurant for the wake the help offered was impeccable. Professional, comprehensive, sympathetic and appropriate, and certainly worthy of the five stars I have awarded.

    I just wanted to thank you for making this whole process so easy. There was just the right amount of communication, at a time when there were so many phone calls and messages going backwards and forwards from friends and relatives. Nothing was too much bother for the team at Susan Whymark, with special mention to Joanne and Mandy for their kindness and sensitivity. The funeral went so smoothly and was a lovely send off for my dear Mum. I'd highly recommend their company to anyone who's looking for a fantastic service. Thank you again. x

  • 5 Diane Harper 1st Feb 2023

  • 5 Robert & Jo Owen 16th Jan 2023

    Susan and her team were so compassionate and professional in what has been a very difficult time following the death of our daughter. We can't recommend Susan Whymark Funeral Services enough. 

    Susan Whymark replied
    Dear Robert and Jo, it was an absolute honour to look after your precious girl. What an amazing young woman. I am just so sad we had to meet but my life is much richer for learning about her. Susan
  • 5 Fiona McSheehy 10th Jan 2023

    From start to completion, the services provided were excellent. The initial discussions gave us an idea of what was possible, along with associated costs. Much effort was put in by the team to ensure that we were comfortable with everything from the clothes Mum was put in, access to sitting with her, the type of coffin and the order of service.
    I genuinely cannot think of a single thing that could have been improved prior to the service, the support and actions on the day, and the calm and kind approach the team took with everything. I would definitely use them again

    Mandy Porter replied
    It was a honour and a privilege, she was an amazing lady.
  • 5 Sally Thompson 28th Dec 2022

    I cannot think of anything else they could of done for us. We were shown such kindness, were helped and explained everything. Susan herself is a lovely compassionate lady. We all thank you for your wonderful caring service, at such a sad time.

    Susan Whymark replied
    Thank you so much for these kind words. I am so glad everything was as you wanted and you felt supported. Susan

  • 5 Julie Bell 2nd Nov 2022

    I cannot fully put into words how grateful I am to Susan Whymark Funeral Services regarding the arrangements for the recent funeral of my late Mother. From the initial telephone call and then my visiting your offices I have really appreciated all the guidance that I received. I would like to thank Joanne for her patience and understanding through this difficult time and to Mandy for all her advice and support on the day, I feel I bombarded her with so many questions. The Pallbearers were so respectful bringing my Mother into the Chapel and the lady organising the music was so understanding that my family wished to sit and listen to the music being played and she advised there was no rush to leave. I am not sure if it was a co-incidence or had been requested but I really appreciated that the screen backdrop on the monitor with my Mother’s name had a picture of beautiful Daffodils. These flowers were my Mother’s favourite and to ensure they were at her funeral I decided to make a display of silk Daffodils. I now have an appropriate container for my Mother’s ashes until I decide on her final destination. As I said on the day this was a Celebration of my Mother’s life and the farewell we gave her was fitting to someone that enjoyed life to the full. Thank you again, I will be eternally grateful for all your help. Julie Bell
