They made sure we gave Ray the funeral that he would have wished for. Giving us plenty of time to think about all the different options which was done with great care.

  • 5 Paul Jackson 26th Jan 2024

    Nikki, James and everyone at Heritage did an exceptional job. Everything from the preparation to the actual funeral was handled with care and dignity. I highly recommend their services. 

  • 5 Diana Dancer 22nd Dec 2023

    Wonderful personal service nothing is too much trouble. I am so happy we chose these wonderful people to conduct my mum’s funeral. They made the worst time of our lives more bearable 

  • 5 Michelle Greene 22nd Nov 2023

    Nicki and team were recommended to us by my sister in law.
    From the moment we stepped in through the door we felt at ease and understood. Everything was said with total honesty and respect to my dad and us. We requested for Dad to be put in his own clothes and his favourite song. They went above and beyond for us and dad. He looked so peaceful. They have little touches like the chapel of rest is a bed not a coffin which makes the awful situation seem less morbid. Any questions we've had we have been answered quickly and we felt supported and informed throughout, but without being chased.

    I highly recommend Nicki, James and Rosemary for anyone needing this service at such an awful time.

    Thank you all for what you have done for Dad ♥️

    Thank you to the Heritage Funeral Team. from the moment I walked through the door, every person I dealt with showed so much kindness and sympathy. Every question via phone or email was answered promptly and courteously.

On the day of my husband's funeral, every aspect that had been planned with Heritage went smoothly. Many thanks to Nikki, Rosemary & James

    We cannot praise Heritage Funerals enough. The care they took, the support they offered, and the service they delivered were without fault and exceed our expectations.

    You get to know all of the staff of which they are four and this means you get a very personal service.

    They want to know about your loved one and are so respectful and thoughtful. The celebrant Rosemary did a fantastic service for us and so many people commented on it afterward.

    We will recommend them to everyone.

    Thank you Nikki, James, Rosemary and Debbie

  • 5 Gail Granger 24th Apr 2023

    We cannot recommend Heritage enough. The personalised service we received from the first moment we made contact was second to none. Nikki, Rosemary, Debbie and James made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and anything was possible. They guided us through the most difficult of circumstances, taking care of every small detail and arranged all aspects of the celebration of life service we wanted. They really do make you feel as though you are their only clients, and offer a truly unique service. A special mention to Rosemary, whose tribute to our late husband/dad, was so personal, many of our friends and family thought she had known him. We cannot thank them enough.

    We would happily recommend you to anyone

  • 5 Christine Potter 25th Mar 2023

    Heritage Funerals are worthy of the very best accolade as they ensured the most difficult time was easier to cope with. Nothing was too much trouble for them, including caring for dad, assisting in the planning of the funeral, and giving comfort to us. The personal and professional touch exhibited by the whole team was exemplary, going above and beyond to cater for all our needs.
    A special thank you to Rosemary for being the celebrant and who felt part of the family.
    Thank you all so very much.
