    Farmer and sons have recently supported us with organizing our moms celebration of life (funeral). From the moment we walked in Christine made us feel so welcome. Following our initial meeting we spoke to Christine many times and always felt listened to. She is such a kind, caring and sincere lady.

    On the day of our moms last farewell the undertakers who took her on her final journey were absolutely fantastic and spoke to me about everything from the time that they arrived at my moms house until they dropped us back off at the wake. I was overwhelmed by this as there was a few little things that I wanted to do to make the day extra special and they were more than happy to sort this out which took all of the pressure away from myself and my brothers.

    Everyone commented on what a beautiful send off our mom had and many mentioned that it was the best one that they had. ever attended.

    Thank you to everyone who helped us to give our mom the send off that she truly and honestly deserved.

    As a family we are totally heartbroken and are still coming to terms with the loss of our amazing mom, however, we will always be extremely grateful for the support given during this time and for helping us to give our mom the best send off possible.

  • 5 Tina Dalwood 8th Dec 2023

    Having used Farmer & Son for my Dad's funeral in 2017 and being happy with the service i received i decided to use them for my Sister's funeral.
    On this occasion i had a few issues but i was contacted by Dan Kendrick promptly who listened to me on what i was unhappy with and he went above and beyond to make amends. He has shown me that Farmer & Son do indeed strive to give the best possible service and are happy to discuss any issues that may occasionally arise.
    I would also like to praise Neil and co workers who showed great empathy and respect on the day of the funeral, not only to my Sister but to my elderly Mother who has limited mobility.

    Daniel Kendrick replied
    Hi Tina,

    Thank you for meeting with me last week to discuss the issues raised in your review.

    As a professional family run funeral directors, I was concerned to hear of your disappointment of the service received and hope that our conversation went someway to reassure you that this is not usual and acceptable.

    I can assure you the situation has now been dealt with internally and I would like to thank you for bringing it to my attention.

    Kind regards
    Dan Kendrick
