    From beginning to end the whole process went very well. Outstanding on the day and we were well looked after by their member of staff.
    I have to say that this is the third time I have used Farmers, for other family members and always been very happy with their commitment to get everything right for you.
    Thank you very much

  • 5 Jimmy Southall 31st Oct 2023

    Chris made the whole process simple, quick and easy to deal with at a difficult time, great service

  • 5 Susan Fradgley 22nd Oct 2023

    I cannot fault the service that I received. From the two men that came out in the small hours for the collection of my late husband.

    The lady that works the front of house, fills the room with her serenity and gentile ways. It feels as if you are sitting and talking to an angel.

    I would never have any hesitation regarding passing the details of this Company to someone that was in need of their services. Sue.

    Farmer & Son provided services for my mom just over 2 years ago and again when my dad passed away in July - their service is exceptional. They are kind & understanding at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Kay Lowe 26th Aug 2023

    At the most distressing of times Chris comforted my Mom and supported her & myself to plan a fitting funeral for my Dad. She was so caring and empathetic and we felt cocooned in her kindness.
    Neil (if I remember correctly), the funeral director & team on the day of the funeral were impeccable and so professional yet friendly.
    Thank you all for making a difficult time more bearable.

  • 5 Jane Geach 22nd Aug 2023

    Farmers were professional and supportive every step of the way after my dad passed away. Starting with the 2 gentlemen who came promptly to transport dad to the chapel; both were courteous and truly respectful. Chris was the epitome of kindness and  was always available to offer her expertise, advice and support, with the many choices available;  order of service, number of cars, flowers etc. The funeral day itself was perfectly organised and the cars and drivers were immaculate. Thank you all so very much.

    What can I say, this isn't the first time I've used Farmer & Son for a family funeral and their service has been exemplary. Their attention to detail and professionalism makes them a credit to their trade. A local firm who really care and take pride in that. A rare thing in this day and age. Can't recommend them enough.
