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 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

    Extremely professional considering they had both my late parents funerals to perform. 

  • 5 Anne Lishman 24th May 2022

    Excellent service, kind, caring and efficient every step of the way

  • 5 Jane Chapman 17th Mar 2022

    M. Garton & Son have always had a great reputation in our area and my family was confident that they would provide a first class service for us.  They didn’t disappoint, and went the extra mile to ensure that our late father, Johnny Whiteley MBE had a wonderful and fitting send-off at the MKM Stadium and then the Crematorium.  They had to work with many different organisations including Hull FC and the City Council, and handled everything with great efficiency and patience.  Nothing was too much trouble for them and they ensured we were informed and updated every step of the way.  Thanks particularly to Lee, who was our main port of call at Gartons.

    M Garton & Sons

    Thank you for your care, compassion and professionalism. In what is an emotional time support and guidance is crucial, my family and I appreciated the comfort you gave us. Knowing that the funeral was carried out with care, pride and dignity was befitting our last goodbye.

    K Willerton.

  • 5 Karen Lucas 4th Mar 2022

    Garton & Son Hessle Road, showed respect and professionalism throughout.  Everything went smoothly, I really felt like I could relax and trust them entirely.  Lee helped me through the entire process of the loss of my Dad, and most importantly celebrating my Dad’s life with joy and dignity.  They even made regular phone calls to check how I was doing.  They really helped me get through this difficult time.  I had so many friends and family say what a lovely service it was and it gave me great comfort at such an emotional time.  This is clearly why families go back to Garton’s, you really can trust and depend upon them to be both professional and compassionate.  Thank you.

    At this very difficult time they were very understanding and were very professional 

  • 5 Sally-Ann Shepherdson 31st Jan 2022

    My family have used Garton's for several generations and the recent death of my father was my first experience of organising a funeral. Thankfully, we had taken advantage of a pre-paid plan through M. Garton and Sons a few years ago, so most of the main decisions had already been made and the whole process was dealt with efficiently and in the most caring and professional manner. I would highly recommend Lee at the Hessle Rd branch, who couldn't have been more kind and helpful. I am so pleased to be able to recommend an excellent local family business.

  • 5 Pamela Conway 29th Jan 2022

    I found all the staff at Gartons extremely professional and helpfull and would
    recommend them to anyone at this very difficult time.

  • 5 Lynda Woodger 26th Jan 2022

    Very understanding, caring and professionally carried out. Would certainly recommend.

  • 5 Andrea Walsh 19th Jan 2022

    I cannot recommend Garton and Sons highly enough. I had no idea how to organise a funeral and was quite distressed (not least because I live miles away from where the funeral was to be held). Lee was truly helpful and compassionate. He literally guided me step by step through each task. The resulting funeral was a beautiful reflection of the life that was. Thank you Lee and Garton and sons for the service you offer. You helped me and my family allow ourselves to grieve.

  • 5 Ian Commander 14th Jan 2022

    Can I just thank Garton & Sons Funeral Directors for the professionalism of their staff in dealing with my dear Mother's funeral.
    Special thanks must go to Lee for his understanding and help in organising the arrangements we specified and his thoughtful suggestions gave us a lasting heartfelt memory.
    We would recommend Gartons with out hesitation.

  • 5 Diane Atkin 23rd Dec 2021

  • 5 Jason Smith 18th Dec 2021

    Very professional and very accommodating.

  • 5 Mark Harrison 23rd Nov 2021

    Everything we asked for wasn't any trouble, we were kept informed all the way through the process and even the little things that we didn't think about were delt with.
    I know, if you like, it's their job but they do it so well .
    We have used M Garton & son before and will use them again when needed (not too soon though hopefully)
    The staff are faultless and so friendly, you can feel as though they are part of the family and grieving with you.
