  • 5 Dorothy Peterson 2nd Dec 2022

    Dean Harper Funeral Directors were excellent from booking the funeral to looking after Kenneth whilst he was resting. The actual funeral ran like clockwork and the staff were extremely respectful throughout.

  • 5 Lina Jones 21st Oct 2022

    How grateful we all are for the services Dean Harper provided for our family following the sad death of my husband.
    It was a difficult and complicated process but from our first meeting they patiently explained every step for us. They listened carefully to our thoughts, memories and opinions and helped us to weigh up different options, even when we changed our minds. Their meticulous attention to detail and flexible collaboration with our priest at the church helped to make the process of organising the funeral service easier and simpler.
    In short, they helped us to navigate a difficult time.
    In all their interactions with the family during the time before the funeral and in the chapel of rest they allowed my husband to have the kind of dignity and respect in death that he would have so appreciated, and it meant a lot to all of us.
    On the day of the funeral, despite everything having been discussed very clearly we were still surprised by the quality, professionalism and kindness we experienced from beginning to end, even down to an unexpected bouquet of flowers on returning home.
    A bereavement and a funeral are never pleasant or easy, but Dean Harper did everything that could have been done to make the process less painful and more meaningful. We are very grateful and inspired by what they have done for us.

  • 5 Angela Mills 21st Oct 2022

    Dean Harper has taken care of both our mother and father's funeral arrangements. Everything they wanted went to plan. Dean Harpers were caring and sympathetic throughout.

    They kept us fully informed with all arrangements even on the day of their funerals they ensured they contacted us to reconfirm the final arrangements.

    They took care of all our personal needs even to the photo on mom and dad's coffins and the donations for their nominated charities.

    Thank you for making these sad occasions go smoothly xxx

  • 5 Paul Marks 21st Oct 2022

    The staff at Dean Harper, were,caring, sensitive, and very supportive during this difficult time. They helped me plan the funeral with dignity and care. I'm pretty certain I would not have coped at all, without their friendly and expert support.
