    I cannot speak highly enough about the services I received from Dean Harper Funeral Directors . Dean, Anna and Pauline guided me through the process with great care, empathy, dignity, and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble. They made what was a devastating time for me, having lost John, my husband, more bearable. They are a first class company and I would highly recommend.

    Where do I start. Dean Harper Funeral Directors were an absolute blessing when sorting my Mom's Funeral. Very caring, understanding and professional every step of the way. Used Dean Harper for 3 funerals now and would highly commend them. They treat you like family and make you feel at ease and take the stress out of the planning. All in all moms funeral was perfect from start to finish and had comments on how beautiful it was. Well done Dean and Pauline for how you managed everything so professionally.
