We decided to use Jill Glencross Funeral Directors for my mums funeral after being recommended to them by friends and family and it was the best decision we could have made. Claire helped guide us through the arrangements of what mum would have wanted and what myself and my stepdad wanted her funeral to be. She listened to us talking about mum and helped us to plan a service she would have been proud of. Leaving the funeral directors that day felt like a bit of the weight was lifted from us and we could rest easy knowing all of the plans and arrangements were being taken care of. The chapel of rest was peaceful and comforting and from the moment mum was in their care she looked so peaceful and just like herself again. Those visits to be with mum were precious and we were always warmly welcomed and told to come and take as much time as we needed. Kevin was always very friendly and helpful and amazing on the day at projecting mums pictures and video, really making the reflection period perfectly mum! Julie and Tee were also very kind and welcoming with words of comfort and cups of tea, doing what they could to make anything easier for us. Tee on the day of the service stepped in for Claire who was unwell and she guided us through the service with grace and compassion and you never would have known it was a last minute change. Thank you to the whole team from the bottom of our hearts for making mums service exactly what she would have wanted. Highly recommend Jill and the team to anyone going through such a difficult time

As a family we would like to say a special thank you to Mark Harkness who was so kind to us all during a very sad and hard time.  

Mark organised my Mum’s Dorothy Lawson’s funeral, everything was done to perfection and it was a lovely send off. 

Mark was kind, compassionate and caring throughout, he is a credit to Jill Glencross.

Outstanding service, Jill and her team go above and beyond which makes a very difficult time a little easier.
Everything was extremely well organised from start to finish and Jill's careful planning and attention to detail was second to none.
Jill was always available when needed and demonstrated a genuine willingness to help and advise, her experience and professionalism shone through.
Words cannot express our sincere thanks and appreciation.
It is rare nowadays to receive this level of service and care.
Thank you once again.
Fiona and Tom.

Very Professional and considerate service throughout. All options were discussed to give us a personal funeral service for our Father exactly as he wanted.

5 Gail Corbishley 11th Aug 2026

Faultless from first contact right through until after the cremation. It is evident Jill is passionate about the people in her care and ensures they are looked after with dignity.

5 Denise White 11th Aug 2026

A truly first class service. From the moment we first contacted them, the team showed incredible compassion and dignity. They took away the stress of organizing everything and handled my daughter’s care with the utmost respect.
Every single detail on the day of the funeral was managed perfectly. 
Highly recommended. 
I cannot thank them enough for their support. 

5 Alan Graham 17th Jul 2026

Everything was absolutely perfect, we couldn't have had a better celebration of life than this. Perfectly planned with care and attention for our wishes. Thank you for everything.

5 Mark Rimmer 15th Jul 2026

Right from our first meeting with Jill and later with Tee, we all felt cared for, and nothing was too much trouble to have done. The notice cards and Service sheets took some time to get right, but when completed were perfect. The Chapel of Rest visits were respectful and intimate moments and we were left for as long as we wished. The flowers, recording and even down to the caterer for the tea were all organised by Tee and took an immense burden off our shoulders. Everything was excellent. I cannot recommend Jill Glencross Independent Funeral Directors, highly enough. The entire family are thankful for their concern and tenderness at a very difficult time.

5 Hazel White 13th Jul 2026

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Jill and her fantastic team for the kindness and compassion they showed throughout this extremely difficult time…you did my Dad proud!


We are truly grateful for everything you did to guide us through the arrangements and ensure everything ran so smoothly.

We will always appreciate the care you gave to both Dad and our family.


With heartfelt thanks and gratitude, 

Hazel, Emma, Jamie & Family

There are moments in life when you need someone to simply take the weight off your shoulders, and that's exactly what Jill did for our family.

From the very first time we met her, Jill didn't feel like a funeral director—she felt like someone who genuinely cared. She welcomed us like old friends, took the time to get to know our family, asked about our children and, most importantly, wanted to know about our Nana. It never felt like we were just arranging a funeral; it felt like we were sharing stories about someone we loved with someone who truly wanted to help us honour her.

Throughout every stage of the process, Jill was exceptional. She kept in touch, explained everything clearly, and quietly made sure every detail was exactly as it should be. Her professionalism was faultless, but it was her kindness, warmth and calm reassurance that meant the most. During such an emotional time, knowing everything was in safe hands allowed us to focus on what really mattered—being together as a family and celebrating Nana's life.

The flowers Jill arranged were absolutely stunning and far exceeded our expectations. They were a beautiful tribute to Nana and showed just how much care had gone into every detail.

On the day itself, Jill and her team were simply wonderful. Every member of staff carried themselves with genuine dignity, kindness and respect. The pallbearers were always there when needed, quietly stepping in without fuss, making everything run so naturally that we never had to think about anything other than saying goodbye.

Choosing a local, independent family funeral director was one of the best decisions we could have made. There is something so special about being looked after by people who truly care about the families they serve. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Every conversation, every gesture and every detail came from a place of genuine compassion.

Jill, thank you for giving our Nana the most beautiful farewell we could have wished for. You didn't just organise a funeral—you guided our family through one of the hardest times in our lives with kindness, grace and heartfelt compassion. We will never forget everything you did for us, and we couldn't recommend you more highly. ❤️

5 Steve Gowling 22nd Jun 2026

The Jill Glencross team were excellent in dealing with my wife's care from the moment I contacted them to inform them that my wife had sadly passed away to dealing with all the funeral arrangements.

The team helped me through this difficult time with a professional and sympathetic step by step approach informing me of what needed to be done in and what order, I cannot thank them enough for the way they supported me and my family.

Special thanks must go to Teresa (Tee) for her help and guidance and for helping us to make Allyson's funeral perfect.

5 Annette Oxley 6th Jun 2026

Claire was wonderful. She was warm, calm and sympathetic and made really helpful suggestions without being pushy. She helped plan the funeral in a very straightforward but sensitive way.  On the day of the funeral, she was so helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend Claire at Jill Glencross Funeral Directors.

5 Thelma Waite 1st Jun 2026

What can I say. During this devastating time all the staff treated us like family, sometimes crying with us. Nothing was a problem, we visited my beloved husband several times and each time they greeted us with hugs and kisses.

5 Derek Storer 30th Mar 2026

Jill Glencross Funeral Services went beyond what could expected for us. Compassionate and care was provided with advice given sympathetically. Thank you so much, especially to Mark without whose support at such a difficult time made the funeral of a loved wife, mother and grandmother more bearable.
