Dear Nikki, Rosemary and all at Heritage Funerals. Thankyou for your support, care and guiding us through one of the toughest times of our life with empathy and compassion, for literally holding us up when we fell. Thank you for listening and looking after mum as she wanted, for making everything we asked of you happen and for making our mums service so personal. We knew you were the right company for our beloved mum from the start, and we will highly recommend your very personalised service to others. Thankyou again for Everything. Love Mrs Valerie Boards Children and her Husband.

Melissa Campbell 27th Jun 2023

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.
