My family were very grateful for the whole organisation of the funeral arrangements by Ian and his wife. The planning and execution was wonderful and help under such dire circumstances were great, this helped take the stress away from my family who were suffering as you would expect after losing the mother who was the hub of the family. Thank you all.

Ian and Danesha couldn't do enough to help me at this time of sadness. They lead me all the way and explained each stage from the time of death all through to the funeral and beyond. There recommendations regarding Minister and Flowers were second to none and their own professional manner was impeccable. I will not forget the arrangements they made to collect Mum from Wales taking her back to where she was born.
Thanks again -

Following the death of my little Mum , l could not have picked a better company than Ian George,
I didn't want a big company, l didn't want Mum to just be another person , she deserved special treatment and Ian ENSURED that is what we ALL got.
Both him and his lovely wife supported me through everything from the call to say Mum had died to the end
Ian read my needs like a book and quitely guided me in a caring , professional manner.
At a very difficult time in someone's life , to have a person you can totally be yourself with is such a help.
My daughter and l went to visit Mum and what Ian had done was outstanding , she looked beautiful, a man with real talent who saw her just as she was in life though he had never met her, she was my Mum but somehow looked much younger than her 90 yrs and so at peace - thank you for that Ian.
I CANNOT praise Ian and his work highly enough, he has a small , friendly family business but a heart that is huge and understanding like no other.
Thank you Ian you are in my heart x -

Ian George was requested to carry out Tracey's funeral as he carried out her fathers in 2015. I have to say that on both occasions he proved to be an excellent choice with his very personal involvement taking away a lot of pressure on the family.

Chose Ian because he is a family firm and I wanted that personal touch. Didn't regret my choice for a moment. Ian guided me through the process in a very friendly and understanding way, but very efficient. He took the service for us (didn't know funeral directors could do this, but it suited us much better than having a priest) and gave a lovely, thoughtful, funeral.

The professionalism of Ian George funerals at this very somber time was beyond expectations. His help and support in all matters was greatly received. I would recommend Ian George funeral directors every time.

Ian George funeral service was both professional and supportive as we arranged a cremation and memorial service. Ian and his wife were friendly, regularly kept us up to date with how things were progressing and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend their services.

Ian was extremely helpful in organising the arrangements after death and the service for my Mother's funeral. He helped us formulate the order of service and then put all the arrangements in place so that the day was a wonderful tribute to my Mother. All done with great empathy and smooth efficiency.

A very good overall service at a very reasonable cost from Ian, who was professional but friendly and easy to deal with and I would highly recommend him.
I would also like to thank the minister, who Ian arranged, Father David Humphrey for a service done with such ease and compassion, -

Ian is very personable, guiding you through the whole process with sensitivity and feeling. The funeral was very well organised and carried out with the highest level of professionalism, whilst maintaining a human element at what is a very difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble for him. His support made the process of organising a funeral as easy as is possible under the circumstances.
Thank you to Ian, his wife Denesha and his professional team for their help. -

Just so pleasant and easy to work with. Nothing was too much trouble and I mean nothing - a wheelchair was made available for my elderly mother and a recording of an LMS steam train going up Shap Fell was also produced (don't ask). Mr George was so nice and normal, his wife kind and understanding, it was almost like being looked after by old friends. The funeral itself went really smoothly and we were made to feel by Mr George that his involvement in this last service for my father was a genuine privilege. Having read an article in a paper recently supporting the use of independent funeral directors I am so glad that I followed the advice given and chose Ian George. I would recommend him without reservation.

I am very grateful to Ian George for providing a thoroughly professional yet compassionate and personal funeral service. There was no pressure and Ian provided some well considered guidance and made some excellent suggestions that really added to my wife's funeral. None of us ever want to have to arrange a funeral for a loved one but Ian made it far less difficult. A very good choice if you require a funeral director.

Ian is a true gentleman and talked us through every step of the process. We found great strength by knowing our dad was being taken care of by Ian.
Even in such sad circumstances my brother Craig and the rest of my family will remember your kindness and compassion and we thank you for taking care of us all. Thank you for everything you did for our Dad, including finding the RAF flag for us. -

Very considerate and caring to my needs and that of my family. So much respect given and shown to my son that had passed.
You can depend on the advice that is offered at such a difficult time.
The standards are top end and all went so smoothly on the day. -

Couldn't have gone better !!!! Ian gave it such a personal touch that people were asking if he knew Dad. Eternally grateful ! And the comfort of leaving dad with such a open minded kind people made the run up to the funeral raised . Highly recommend

Mr. George instantly took charge, and helped us through a very difficult time.
Arranging what we wanted and suggested a few things we hadn't thought about,
So making the process a memorable and easy Funeral of my Mothers.
Which was very much appreciated by ourselves and all the Family, -

A search on the Internet for a simple non religious cremation from a local funeral director, and we (luckily)found Mr George. A couple of phone calls and emails exchanged with one meeting and everything was arranged.
In Mr George's experienced hands we we efficiently yet gently led through the process without being bombarded with superfluous information and choices, following our thoughts he suggested a lovely piece of music which on the day was simply perfect. Our wish for the cremation to take place promptly was facilitated by Mr George, he secured a date in a local cemetery within 10 days of my father's passing.
On a personal note, when we met Mr George, we found him to have a warm friendly character with just the right degree of compassion, we immediately felt comfortable and confident he would 'look after things' for us. And he did, everything just progressed smoothly, without worry.
Having met me and my brother just once and never knowing Dad, from a bulletpoint list of Dads dates and achievements, he offered to lead a simple service, which initially we didn't think we needed, however the words he put together just hit the right note and gave the event a structure which we and the guests appreciated.
No hesitation in recommending Ian George (Funerals) Ltd. -

Ian and I are becoming friends! I have had to use his services 3 times in the past 2 1/2 years. I cant speak highly of enough of his kindness and professionalism.
The way Ian dealt with the funeral of my husband with such kindness and care, even doing the eulogy, and people commented what a beautiful service it was and so personal.
When my father died in 2015 and then my mother at the end of last year I had no hesitation in asking Ian to deal with their funerals and again Ian handled things with care and compassion. Thanks very much Ian and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to everyone.
