Excellent service from Dean & Pauline. Everything was done with Care, Style & Brilliance from start to finish.  The funeral day went perfectly , it made a hard day a lot easier knowing they were on hand throughout the funeral. I would not hesitate to recommend Dean to anyone wanting a caring , professional funeral director.

Dean and his team couldn't have done more to make the end to end experience any better. This was a very difficult time for the family and I and right from the point we first made contact with Dean and the team through to the follow up calls post Mom's funeral, the experience was exceptional. Professionalism to the highest of standards. Thank you, Andy Urwin

  • 5 Simon Roberts 21st Sep 2023

    Dean and his team directed the funeral for my Dad 13 years ago, and I knew that when it was my Mum's time, she would be in the best possible hands. From the outset right through to the service itself every detail was managed in the most efficient, compassionate and friendly manner. Although it was a sad day, Dean and his team ensured that it was also a celebration of my Mum's life, and that every aspect of the service and the arrangements went exactly as planned. I could not have wished for a better way for us all to say goodbye, and I will be forever grateful.
