Rachael Marie Straughan 8th Jul 2018

We received amazing service from Mark and Kelsey, from the initial phone call with Kelsey I knew we were in good hands. Mark is very compassionate and understanding, nothing was too much trouble. With this being the first funeral Iv had to organize he went through everything step by step and tailored a service which was exactly as my mam would of wanted. With this being obviously a difficult time for us Mark took all the stress away and was there throughout. I cannot thank him enough for everything that he has done for us. Want to say a huge thank you to Kate reed also who was wonderful and wrote a perfect eulogy for my mam.

  • 5 Edward Charles Slaughter 2nd Jun 2018

    I am so grateful to have this opportunity to both thank and recommend Mark Wait for the services provided following the death of a much loved wife and mam. From the very first telephone call Mark was professional and compassionate, attentive to detail and thoroughly reliable. His expertise and guidance was invaluable in helping our family through a very difficult time. Again, many thanks and I have no hesitation in recommending Mark as providing a ‘5 star’ service.

    Mark was professional, attentive to our needs and ensured that the whole process of organising the funeral and service went ahead smoothly and efficiently. We couldn't have asked more of a funeral director. A super service and would highly recommend.

    Fantastic. From the first initil phone call the the actual day of my fathers funeral Mark and Kelsey's service was amazing. Such caring, professional and first class business. I would recommend anyone who needs a funeral director to go to Mark. The attention to detail was fantastic. Thank you for making something so sad and hard so easy to sort out and deal with. They really go that extra mile to help.

    Mark's service was for us second to none, his expertise and professionalism was of great help to us as he takes responsibility for all your requirements then checks with you every step of the way I would not hesitate to recommend Mark Waite to anyone found in this difficult situation.

  • 5 Harriet Greer 12th Dec 2017

    Mark and his daughter, Kelsey, could not have handled this sad and sensitive time better. All my family agreed that.  They never seemed rushed and always  managed appointments at the times we needed them.  A five star firm.  I put this last point in because I am not sure if the website registered my '5 star' rating.
    Thank you Mark. 

  • 5 Dr Andrew Christopher John Burdon 13th Nov 2017

    Service could not have been better at this difficult time. Would and did totally recommend Mark.

  • 5 Fiona Bell 15th Mar 2017

    My family and I recommend Mark Wait Funeral Services very highly indeed. 

    I first met Mark Wait when his company organised the funeral of one of our best friends and we were involved in some of the arrangements. When six months later my father became very ill and we were told he was going to die within a few days the one thing that made things easier for me was knowing that I could contact Mark and he would step in when the time came to handle everything sensitively and smoothly which he did. The same with my mother. Even though she died on Christmas Day Mark was brilliant in making things as bearable as he could under the very sad circumstances even though it would no doubt have meant him and his team being pulled away from his own family at Christmas. When you're dealing with grief and it's a great comfort to know that everything will be dealt with in such a professional and sensitive manner no matter when the worst happens. There are so many decisions to make but Mark always took the time to explain things and give the right advice. He also made arrangements with celebrant Stevie Glover who is amazing. 

  • 5 Jean Strong 8th Mar 2017

    This is the second time we have called on Mark. Several years ago he cared for my uncle and as my aunt so appreciated the level of care Mark gave I had no hesitation in seeking him out to care for her.
    As we do not live in the Newcastle area we were totally dependent on him for advice and all arrangements. He helped us to plan the kind of personalized funeral that my aunt would thoroughly approved of and was available for any subsequent queries.
    I cannot recommend the service Mark provides highly enough.
