Very professional and caring. 

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.

  • 5 Steve Fletcher 10th Sep 2022

    We have now used Farmers on 2 occasions. We have found them to be friendly, professional and very efficient. Excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Farmers to family and friends.

  • 5 Andrew Morris 6th Sep 2022

    At such a sad and traumatic time, it's reassuring to be able to have a funeral directors who are capable of dealing with the major decions you're required to make.
    We dealt with Chris, who showed empathy, understanding and support in our time of need. She was proffessional and caring, guiding us through an extremely difficult time and made the whole experience feel as though she was personally involved.
    She arranged the service, recommended a florist, organised the cars etc.
    The staff from Farmers at the service were extremely professional and supportive on a day no one wants.
    Our sincere thanks go to Chris and the team at Farmers.

    Thank you Andrew for your kind review, I wish you and your family all the best for the future!

    Farmer’s & Son we’re fantastic. From the start,  the dignity shown by the 2 staff who came on the evening of mom’s death; Chris was so professional and compassionate - her wealth of experience and organisation made the whole experience much  easier than I had imagined it would be - nothing was too much trouble. 
    The cars were perfect and once again the drivers, bearers made the whole day run smooth.
