I cannot fault the service in any way. Chris was nothing short of amazing. There is so much to sort out in a short space of time and Chris guided us through from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team were very friendly and professional. Chris took away all of the stress at a very difficult time.

    They were very sympathetic and helpful.

  • 5 Tony Hickman 15th Mar 2023

    I am sure that what I am going to say will be of no surprise to you.

    Chrissie Charles organised my father's funeral some 9 years ago and extended to us her courtesy, her empathy and her professionalism.

    That is the reason why we came back to Chrissie to arrange Mom's funeral service in March 2023. Again Chrissie treated us exactly the same as she did 9 years ago, she always goes the extra mile and she is a huge asset to your company.

    Thank You Chrissie

  • 5 Jamie Green 13th Feb 2023

    Farmer & Son were exemplary in their service and care for Rita (the deceased), and her family. We felt very well looked after, understood and supported through the necessary processes. Chris in particular as our main point of contact and guide was brilliant in managing Rita’s requests and our own, and helping us when other organisations could have been better in their management of the necessary affairs. All in all we recommend Farmer & Sons without hesitation.

  • 5 Mark Webster 9th Jan 2023

    Excellent service from Farmer’s and Sons as per usual. Had dealt with them before for an auntie and uncles funeral and my own father’s funeral. 
    They are kind and considerate, sympathetic and compassionate, understanding in your time of bereavement.
    They are as always immaculately turned out as are their vehicles spotless, clean. 
    What more can be said of this family business, and if they are not a family business they certainly still conduct themselves as if they are.
