    The care and attention to detail provided at what is a difficult time made the experience much easier.By keeping us regularly updated at each stage we felt reassured that we were valued. I would strongly recommend this business

  • 5 Mrs K Langley 24th Aug 2021

    I felt a really bad day was made perfect. Amanda was truly amazing. Even down to the ties she had for the pallbearers. She went out of her way to get the coffin I really wanted and most of all she went to the extreme to get my girl presentable so that I could say goodbye. Nothing was to much trouble for any of them. Thankyou so much 

  • 5 Mrs J Duke 31st Jul 2021

    I could not have wished for a more professional and caring service from the time we stepped through the door until paying their fees. As a family I know we must have put them under pressure with our requests but again they excelled. We, the famy think they are second to none and stand alone as competent and reliable Funeral Directors. We have used them before, have known them and of them for many years and can say personally as a member and PCC Secretary of our local church that they are held in great esteem. They would be and are wholly recommended. Mrs Janet Duke

    Choosing Susan Whymark to take care of my husband's funeral arrangements was the best thing I could have done.

  • 5 Mrs S Brown 16th Mar 2021

    Susan Whymark Funeral Services Ltd. were most helpful in assisting my sons and myself with my husband's funeral arrangements earlier this year.
    They gave us advice on how to proceed, as a consequence of his death. We had been unaware of the actions that needed to be taken.
    They helped us to make decisions relating to his funeral and all that that entailed. They showed patience and understanding throughout.
    Finally, we were most grateful for the dignified way my husband's Memorial Service was conducted.

  • 5 Mr L Hume 12th Mar 2021

    I really can't speak highly enough of the service provided by Susan Whymark following the passing of my father. It was everything I needed it to be at such a difficult time, reassuring, caring, calm and also simple. Joanne was lovely and had such a natural way of putting me at ease. On the day Mandy led the proceedings with great care and dignity but also with a nice light touch which really helped. Summing up, my experience is one of great professionalism and respect coupled with warmth and compassion. Wonderful company.

  • 5 Mrs S Rice 12th Mar 2021

    Susan Whymark (Mandie) made me feel very at ease when I went to speak to them regarding my husband's funeral.
    The service I received was excelent.

  • 5 Mr E Langley 18th Feb 2021

    Exceptional service, made sure I was aware and kept up to date, helpful without being intrusive, at a difficult time they provided affordable professional support and reassurance, traditional without being stuffy I would recommend Susan without hesitation as a client orientated service of exceptional quality.
