I found everyone made my experience of planning a funeral as good as it could be. It’s a pity I cannot say that of the solicitor!

    Susan and her staff provided my mother and father with a wonderful service. From the beginning there was a feeling of care and support right through to the funeral and internment. The planning was sensitive and detailed , if feel if we were being dealt with by an extended caring family.

    Susan Whymark replied
    It really was a privilege to help with the arrangements for two treasures. The world is a poorer place but they are reunited again. Thank you for your words. Susan

    Susan Whymark’s take care of everything calmly and efficiently, with a good unstuffy nature that makes it as bearable process as it’s possible to be. 

  • 5 Mrs H Stephenson 3rd Mar 2022

    Susan is wonderful. She has conducted funerals for both my father and recently my mother. She is incredibly kind and empathetic.
    The whole service is professional and felt very safe in their hands. I would thoroughly recommend them.

  • 5 Mike Tritton 1st Mar 2022

    We could not fault Susan Whymark and her wonderful team. A huge thank you to Mandy Porter who became our main point of contact. Even last minute changes to the order of service, that may have seemed trivial to some, were no problem at all. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even the robin in the tree singing is heart out added a special touch. The day went so well the most often heard comment as we left the chapel was "that was the nicest service we have been to" which from the ladies in the WI is praise indeed and the fitting send-off we had planned for a very special lady.

    Mandy Porter replied
    Such kind words, thank you.
    Best wishes

  • 5 Betty Chittock 15th Feb 2022

Mandy was so kind and caring. I was very pleased with the service everyone gave me and would recommend your funeral service.

  • 5 Mr J Greenwood 8th Feb 2022

    Outstanding service. Every member of the staff I came into contact with was caring, considerate and totally supportive during the most difficult of times.
    Each step was handled sympathetically and professionally with the needs of the bereaved being carefully listened to and then cared for.
    I cannot recommend them highly enough - the safest of safe hands.

    Five stars + 
    Excellent, attentive service from start to Finnish.

  • 5 Ms J Wakenell 3rd Feb 2022

    I would recommend Susan Whymark having just recently you them for my late brother .from the first phone call to advise them that my brother had past up until the day of the funeral thestaff was there 100% for us .the only one thing  I would have liked them to use was a privay screen from when they come to collect  my brother as my sister in law was in the room with him all the time and we just felt they could have asked us if we wanted to leave whilst they did everything they had to do for him to ready him to be taken away. But on the day they stopped at my brothers close as people was going to walk into the village as it’s too small for too many cars which we thought was a wonderful thing .Mandy the lady looking after everything done a wonderful job. 

  • 5 Glynis Leveridge 1st Feb 2022

    We couldn’t have asked for more from Mandy and the team at Susan Whymark. They were professional, respectful and helpful throughout.

    The communication from Mandy was second to none and nothing was too much trouble. 

    Highly recommended.

    Mandy Porter replied
    It was truly a honour to be there for you, Emily and Holly. Thank you for your kind words it is much appreciated.

    Best wishes

  • 5 Mr C Mayers 31st Jan 2022

    I cannot recommend more highly Susan Whymark and her staff, if i and my family could give 10 stars we would. Imagine the trauma of losing a loved one in this case my wife, everything comes to a stop, there's no way you can deal with this. It paralyses your thoughts and actions. Then Superwoman appears and very gently and sympathetically guides you through the funeral.process very ably assisted by all her staff whose only aim is to offer you help and support. Their organisation of the actual funeral was faultless with just the right feeling of reverence. their service didn't just end with the final curtain, they also support a bereavement group which for those that feel the need, gives an outlet for their feelings in a very informal atmosphere.
    A family business with a very definite Family feel. Top marks.

    Susan Whymark replied
    Dear Chris, so very kind of you, you did bring a smile to my face, I haven't been called Superwoman before! Im glad you felt so looked after. Best wishes, Susan
  • 5 Cynthia Burton 29th Jan 2022

    Susan recently undertook our third family funeral. Each was carried out exactly how we wanted and with kindness, warmth and to the highest standard. This last one was particularly difficult for her as she knew Mum but still maintained her professionalism and looked after her so well. Highly recommended. Thank you so much. 

    Susan Whymark replied
    Dear Cynthia, Im so glad it was how you wanted it. Indeed particularly difficult for me personally, she was a huge part of my life and a very, dear and sweet lady who had a massive impact on who I am today. She will be so very missed by anyone who knew her. It was my absolute privilege to help such a lovely lady and her special family.

  • 5 Mr H Wilkins 18th Jan 2022

    A most professional service. The preliminary interview was sensitive and sympathetic. Their negotiations with other parties involved was efficient and I was kept well informed as things progressed.
    The funeral service, the burial and transportation of mourners was carried out in a most supportive and professional manner. Top quality and accommodating service from beginning to completion.

  • 5 Ken Knock 8th Jan 2022

    The service provided from initial contact, transfer from the hospital through planning and arranging the funeral to the funeral, was carried out in a very professional manner providing the family with all the help we needed. At each stage all our questions were answered allowing us to focus on having a funeral service to celebrate Ralph's life as we believe he would have wanted.

  • 5 Cheryl Buxton 22nd Dec 2021

    Could not be more helpful, kind and understanding.

    Highly recommended!

  • 5 Mrs S Reeve 20th Oct 2021

    My daughter Rebecca who died suddenly was treated with so much dignity and respect, they are such a kind, caring and professional team and nothing was too much trouble, even when there were last minute changes to the funeral plans, with guidance from Mandy this led to a beautiful service for her. Our whole family fully recommend Susan whymark, and wish to thank them all from the bottom of our hearts during this difficult time.

  • 5 Mrs A Scott 19th Oct 2021
