What Families Say

AI Summary

Families repeatedly emphasize the personal care and attentiveness Paul brings to arrangements, describing how he holds their hands through the process, makes himself available at all hours, and treats them like family rather than customers. Many note that he guides them through decisions without pressure, offers thoughtful suggestions about venues and celebrants, and handles last-minute changes without complaint.

On the day of the funeral itself, families comment on how smoothly everything runs, often noting that Paul's presence is both supportive and unobtrusive, and that guests remark on the dignity and beauty of the service. Several mention feeling able to focus on grieving and celebrating their loved one's life because the practical details are so thoroughly managed.

Families value the clear communication throughout—that Paul keeps in touch, explains the process unhurriedly, and ensures they understand their options without feeling rushed or upsold. A number comment that his prices are reasonable and transparent, with no unexpected costs, and that this matters particularly when they are already managing grief and stress.

    From the first call to Paul, to meeting him to discuss funeral arrangements, and finally to our mum's funeral day, he has been absolutely amazing. Paul is so considerate, so calm, and completely takes control of the whole process which really is a weight lifted off your shoulders at such a stressful time. I strongly recommend Paul Morse. Thank you Paul for your kind and attentive support at this difficult time for us.

  • 5 John Hooley 21st Oct 2022

    Unfortunately this has been my 2nd funeral to arrange in the last few months. I had no hesitation in contacting Paul again. Of course all the arrangements were sorted efficiently. But Paul has a very personal touch in all he does and this is what makes Morse Funeral Services special. Thank you so much Paul for making everything as easy as possible and for taking care of Dad.

  • 5 Michele Weekly 20th Oct 2022

    Paul was excellent from start to finish at a very upsetting time . He was very compassionate  and caring . People actually commented at the crematorium how lovely he was . My mums service was beautiful and I can’t thank him enough xx

  • 5 Robert Smith 3rd Oct 2022

    Paul dealt with me in a very kind and most helpful way. His guidance was excellent and really helped me through the process of preparing for the Funeral.
    On the day everything went exactly as planned and it was a moving and enjoyable (if that's the right word) service. A number of people told me it was the nicest funeral they had attended.
    The Celibrant and Caterer recommended by Paul were also excellent and dealt with me in a very helpful and sensitive way.
    Paul suggested Green Acres at Jordans for the service and that facility was absolutely perfect for the type of 'send off' my wife would have appreciated.
    I would highly recommend Morse Funeral Directors for their professionalism, kindness and sensitivity

    This company looked after me and my broken heart. They gave me a totally flawless service and I cannot recommend Paul Morse enough. I will be forever grateful the whole funeral was perfect x

  • 5 Grant Braban 20th Sep 2022

    Paul was fantastic from the moment we made the sad call to engage his services, to the moment the services were over. A seamless and thoughtful level of support throughout. I cannot recommend highly enough.

  • 5 Aurora Sullivan 17th Sep 2022

    Morse Funeral Services will not only take care of your loved one, but they take care of you as well. Paul is so personable, kind, caring, reassuring, understanding and very good at his occupation.
    We lost our dear mother.
    As with a loss of a loved one, you want only the best and most dignified level of care possible. We recieved nothing less than this.
    Paul always had time to answer any type of question. He understands the types of situations that may arise. He tailors everything to exactly how you'd like it. He honoured our last minute changes as though it were no hassle to him at all.
    His pallbearers and team are very professional, respectful and understanding. They gave us the option to carry Mum and lower her into her resting place. But also reassurred us that they're there, right next to us if there were to be an issue.
    The level of service and care is just outstanding. If we hadn't of picked them as our funeral director, the entire process would not have been as smooth as it were with them.
    We would highly recommend and cannot thank Morse, Paul and team enough for their personally approach to absolutely every single step of the process and of the funeral.
    Thank you so much for everything.

  • 5 Sharon Redman 5th Sep 2022

    Paul and his team were amazing, after a tricky start with another funeral company Paul stepped in and what an amazing difference he
    made , our dad had sadly passed away unexpectedly and so we were in shock , Paul made everything so much easier for us and explained to us what needed to be done , he was there for us all along the way and at dads funeral he was just brilliant. Myself and my brother had never had to arrange a funeral before so was overwhelmed with all what had to be done , but Paul helped us navigate what needs to be done and was just fantastic. At a very sad difficult time we cannot recommend Paul and his team enough .

  • 5 Zoe Angle 4th Sep 2022

    Paul Morse’s professionalism and friendly manner made the whole process of arranging a funeral so easy for us. He helped with all the paperwork and arrangements  that were needed so we didn’t have to worry. His thoughtful suggestions made it possible to arrange a funeral that was suitable for all that attended. I would highly recommended his services.

  • 5 Jane Barton 8th Aug 2022

    I cannot recommend enough! It was always my mother’s  wish to use paul’s services, to which I had no qualms with fulfilling! He was exceptionally professional and understanding and kind beyond words, thank you so much with evverything 

  • 5 Pauleen Jackman 3rd Aug 2022

    From beginning to end, every step of the way, with care and compassion, Paul made sure that not only was my Dad's send off a thing of dignity and respect, but he also made a difficult and sad time for me personally so much easier with his support, advice and kindness. There will never be enough "thank you"s for everything he did.

  • 5 Chris Brunstrom 25th Jul 2022

    During the midst of our saddest times, Paul and his company were there for us throughout, providing all the emotional and practical support we needed.

    I would not hesitate to recommend Morse Funeral Services.

  • 5 John Hooley 27th Jun 2022

    From the first meeting with Paul, I knew I had chosen the right person. He answered all my questions and asked me questions I hadn't even considered. He ensured the lead up was as stress free as possible and along with his team contributed to the day of the funeral being a beautiful one. Thank you.

  • 5 Stuart Stevens 30th May 2022

    Very glad we chose Morse Funeral Services. Paul Morse was superb. Nothing was a problem, and everything taken care of. We chose Paul based on many excellent reviews, and they were absolutely right. He also arranged our celebrant, Gail, who was also superb. Very highly recommended.

  • 5 Gillian Higginson 10th May 2022

    Paul and the team instinctively knew what we and my mummy would like before we did. It was a beautiful funeral from start to finish, full of pomp and ceremony and reverence to dear Jesus and also an opportunity of getting saved by Jesus. We so enjoyed and had time to gather our thoughts in the limosine following dear Mummy. The order of service was lovely and a lovely keepsake, the flowers adorned our hallway. We so enjoyed Paul's personal touch and sweet care.

  • 5 Louise Loh 4th May 2022

    Paul was very caring and took care of everything for us. Reliable and accessible. Thank you.

  • 5 Alison Grainger 13th Apr 2022

    Paul was absolutely amazing, he took us by the hand at our lowest moment guiding us on the steps we needed to take in order to give our Dad the best service.   What we also really appreciated is that not at any point did he try and up sell.  I would highly recommend Morse Funeral Services. 

  • 5 Sheila Marshall 5th Apr 2022

    It was incredibly difficult to have to face planning a funeral again so soon after the loss of my father the year before. Paul enabled what was an exceptionally painful and emotional time in our lives to become an occasion where we could celebrate, remember, and above all have all the consideration we needed and actually, even more than we could have expected, in order to enable me and my mother to say goodbye with dignity and grace.

    The additional thoughtful touches made were perfect, showing a wonderful level of empathy, understanding, and above all compassion, which was so very needed at such a challenging time. It was wonderful to have things handled, details communicated with us, and above all dealing with an individual who seemed to understand without prolonged words what needed to be accomplished.

    Everything from start to finish was faultless, there were no difficulties, no difficulties presented. As soon as the process started it was all handled with a kind of effortless grace that made it significantly easy for us.

    Neither my mother nor myself felt rushed or ignored. Everything was done, with guidance provided to help us when it came to the finishing flourishes. There was nothing that was too much or that couldn't be taken care of; in summary, while still emotional and painful, the care provided by Paul and his team made sure that we were able to focus on our grief and saying goodbye to a beloved family member, my brother, without any further burdens being added.

    There are no words to thank for the dedicated care we received, and both my mother and I are incredibly grateful to have been able to make use of the services here. Thank you, again, repeatedly. Thank you.

  • 5 Adrian Relph 18th Mar 2022

    Paul’s communication was excellent, and he was extremely kind and patient and informative and really helped prepare for the day. His recommendation for a celebrant was prefect and all in all Morse Funeral Service helped to make a very difficult day, as special as we had hoped it would be. A big thank you to Paul and I highly recommend him. 

  • 5 Judith Aylett 3rd Mar 2022

    From the first conversation I had with Paul I knew we had the right man to organise my husbands funeral. There were no instructions left so we planned the funeral we thought he would like.
    From the meeting at Green Acres to the end of the funeral day Paul was there to help. I think his favourite phrases are " no problem " and " don't worry, I've done it already "

  • 5 Karen Bowden 28th Feb 2022

    Paul supported our family through a difficult time, with his attention to detail and caring personality we were able to say goodbye how we wanted to. We had total confidence in Paul and his team before and during the funeral. Thank you! What you did meant so much to us. 

  • 5 Mary Beith 23rd Feb 2022

    Paul and the team provided a wonderful service and personal support.  Thank you so much

  • 5 Lyn Washington 27th Jan 2022

    A perfect service in every respect 

  • 5 Lydia Thillainayagam 25th Nov 2021

    I cannot recommend Morse Funeral Services highly enough. Paul Morse, his sister Nicola and the rest of his team are consummate professionals and compassionate with it. Paul looked after our family when my father passed away in 2018 and I did not hesitate to contact him when we lost our mother last month. There is no up-selling and Paul goes out of his way to accommodate your wishes big or small. He truly cares , advises and supports you through a difficult time.
