5 Tracy Taylor 23rd Nov 2023

The sudden death of our father floored us we didn’t have a clue what to do, I can’t thank you enough for what you did for my dad from start to finish you were on hand to answer any questions we had, The speedy recovery of my dads body meant the world to us, The way he was looked after in the chapel we couldn’t of asked for anyone better, They brought him home one last time and stayed till everyone left the funeral, Then brought his ashes too our door as they didn’t want further torment for the family, These guys go above and beyond for any family and we cannot thank them enough for what they did we are forever thankful, The Family Of The Late Barrie Taylor x

Lee and his team were wonderful. They thought of everything and from my initial, fairly incoherent, phone call onwards, ensured that everything ran smoothly both before and on the day of dad’s funeral. I would thoroughly recommend them.

From start to finish, we cannot thank Gartons enough for the efficiency and compassion shown from the initial call, the collection of mum, the arrangements and the funeral itself which ensured mum's last journey was dignified and graceful befitting this remarkable lady. This was down to Gartons, particularly Eric, who showed full understanding of mum's wishes and carried out everything with no fuss and total understanding. Every step of the way was fully explained and no request from our side was denied. Full explanation of events was thoroughly gone over, Gartons staff did an amazing job compiling the order of services (which was beautiful and I remain truly grateful for this) and they did most amazing service getting mum ready for viewing - a harrowing taste for those who wanted to view mum but which was made all the better through Gartons attention and preparation .. she was serene and peaceful as we remembered her in life and we all left joyful and content within ourselves. The funeral was beautiful, everything ran like clockwork and the staff, again Eric in particularly was ever so attentive that we were left with ability to not mourn but celebrate the life of mum ... although a funeral, it was a joyful and celebratory occasion. This all down to the dedication, compassion and understanding of the individual's needs. We used Gartons in the past for my brother and can say that occasion went similarly as have all the others funerals that Gartons have. undertaken for most of the extended family over the years. I whole heartedly recommend Gartons who's dedication to duty allowed us to enjoy the celebratory side of someone's passing.

5 Andrea Spratt 17th Jul 2023

From the 1st phone call after my husbands passing they were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, Eric kept me informed of everything that was happening and also gave me some great advice.
Would highly recommend. Thank you for making such a difficult time easier for our whole family.

5 John Hutton 2nd Jun 2023

Firstly may we say, whilst we have known of this company for many years - we had not previously used their services. From initial contact, we were very impressed by the professionalism shown by Lee. When you have lost a close relative, you require expert guidance - and this is precisely what we received. 
Garton’s booked the crematorium according to our wishes, which was followed by a visit to their premises to discuss funeral arrangements in detail. Our minds were set at rest by Lee, and he made what could have been a difficult situation, easy to comprehend. Our wishes were achieved to the letter, and on the day of the funeral, Fraser was both accommodating, respectful and reassuring.
All went off smoothly, and we can’t give M Garton and Sons anything other than 10/10. Would highly recommend. John Maclean-Hutton.

5 Katherine Pinnock 24th Apr 2023

Lee at Gartons organised my Dad’s funeral for us and we were so grateful to him for ensuring the planning and the event itself went smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about anything as Lee had it all in hand and was always there to answer any questions we had. We had actually used Gartons for my Mum’s funeral six years before and we were equally impressed then. Thank you Lee and all at Gartons for your care and support.

5 Susan Lord 5th Apr 2023

My husband was treated with the greatest respect by the team as were myself and my family. Nothing was too much trouble and they went the extra mile to make sure things went very smoothly. I will always appreciate their kindness and caring. Thank-you team Garton

5 Liam Daly 3rd Jan 2023

Prior to my father's passing, I had been lucky enough to have no previous dealings with funeral directors, but Lee & the team at Gartons went above & beyond to make sure that everything was handled correctly & sensitively for our family.
As my father unfortunately passed away abroad, Gartons liaised with the insurance company to bring him back safely, and kept us updated of the progress every step of the way. It appeared that they took great care over his body whilst he was with them, and they catered for every request that we made, nothing seemed inconvenient for them. Lee was very professional & efficient throughout, and simplified everything for us so that it wasn't too overwhelming.
On behalf of the family, I would like to thank Lee, and everybody at Gartons, for their assistance, respectfulness & sincerity through this hardest of times.
I would recommend Gartons to anybody without hesitation.

5 Gareth Jones 11th Dec 2022

A huge thank you, to Lee and his colleagues at M Garton & Son for the professional and compassionate service they provided looking after my father's funeral. Lee guided me though the process of making the funeral arrangements, making helpful suggestions; in a caring and patient manner; and made regular phone calls to keep me updated. The day itself went smoothly thanks again to their professionalism.

I cannot recommend M Garton & Son enough, they really looked after us at a very difficult time.

5 Lesley Carr 26th Nov 2022

5 Maureen Brown 19th Nov 2022

Garton's offered a professional and compassionate service from start to finish. Each member of staff we dealt with was kind and considerate. All processes and costs were carefully explained and we were given plenty of opportunity to ask questions as well as time to make the decisions which were right for us. Lee kept in touch with us throughout, checking in that everything was proceeding as we wished. Fraser led on the day of the funeral and was efficient and considerate. Rev Allen delivered a comforting, personalised service at Chanterlands Crematorium.
A first-class service at a difficult time and highly recommended.

5 John Porter 1st Nov 2022

Garton were very helpful and attentive, keeping us updated throughout.

5 John Deeming 4th Oct 2022

Myself and my family really appreciated the service which we have received from Garton's and their team, who helped us through the arrangements for the funeral of my late wife, Ann.
Everything went very smoothly, and they even coped in a most discrete and thoughtful way when the service at the Crematorium had to be slightly delayed due to the number of mourners at the previous service.

5 Kathleen Williams 17th Aug 2022

I THANK all the staff at M Garton & Son greatly for helping me through a very difficult time. Special thanks to Eric who was ABSOLUTELY brilliant. So helpful, respectful and kind. Everything was handled so fluently. From the arrangement of the undertakers, the Chapel of rest, the funeral and collection of the ashes.
I have never been through this before so was feeling quite stressed and overwhelmed, I didn't need to be, M Garton & Son were fantastic. Also, special thanks to Steve Massam who handled the service. Everyone commented on how brilliant the funeral and service were. I wholeheartedly recommend M Garton & Son.

5 Kevin Fowler 27th Jul 2022

M Garton and Son, Funeral Directors manage care, sensitivity and professionalism rarely found these days. They have the knowledge and proficiency to assist families in stressful and unfamiliar times.
M Garton and Son are an excellent company I would recommend.

5 Alan Chaffey 26th Jul 2022

Absolutely first class service. Thank you Lee and the staff at Gartons for taking all the worry and stress off me, and taking control during a devastating time for my family and me.

5 Ian Tottem 14th Jul 2022

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.. I couldn’t recommend gartons enough, through such a difficult time. They was caring, compassionate, and so professional. I felt assured my grandad was well taken care of. And whenever I needed them they was always happy to help. 

5 Fiona Harbord 12th Jul 2022

I cannot recommend Lee and the team at Garton’s Hessle Road enough. Even though my father only received a direct cremation, and therefore I paid a basic fee, the care and compassion I received was second to none. I was constantly reassured that my Dad would be treated with respect despite no-one being present at his cremation, which is all a bereaved relative could wish for. I also received many phone calls to ensure I was happy and kept informed of proceedings, including one immediately after Dad’s cremation to tell me all had gone well. There was one slight blip in regard to the notice that was placed in the Hull Daily Mail but this was quickly rectified and I still received a full and genuine apology.  What a lovely, caring firm to deal with at such a sad time.

5 Elizabeth Lannigan 7th Jul 2022

Having never had to arrange a funeral before, I was incredibly daunted about the process. However, from the very first contact with Garton's, myself and my family were confident we'd made the right choice for my father's funeral.

Every member of staff we came into contact with were sensitive to the situation, professional, warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and tactful to the highest level. We were never left unsure of any details, were in constant communication, were aware that we were in control of the situation and felt supported and encouraged at all times. We were told what to expect at each point and, on the day, were looked after flawlessly.

At one of the worst times, Garton's made the situation better and myself and my family cannot recommend them highly enough. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the company or the people.

5 Olivia Thompson 17th Jun 2022

Some how Garton & Sons funeral Director’s made a terrible situation seem easier. They were so helpful & nothing was too much hassle. They were prompt with every part of the process. The office we met to discuss the funeral arrangements was very smart and professional but had a homely feel. We dealt mostly with  Frazer who was calm ,supportive and very respectful. Excellent care for each individual family.

We would like to say Thank you to all at Garton. & Sons Funeral Directors Hessle Road. 

5 Kate Boards 16th Jun 2022
