Simon impressed me with his supportive and caring attention to my loss. He understood my requirements and provided a smooth and worry free cremation on the day.

Justin Cheale 5th Jun 2025

My mother passed away 3 years ago and we contacted Jefferies Funeral Directors who arranged everything with ease. Last month my father passed away and without a second thought I contacted them again to arrange things for me. The celebrant they suggested was perfect for the funeral. They thought of everything with excellent communication throughout a difficult time and again everything went smoothly on the sad day. I would highly recommend Jefferies Funeral Directors.

All dealt with very well, made the process stress free and we're very professional whilst being down to earth.

  • 5 Gerald White 29th Nov 2024

    Simon and his team ensured that the funeral, which was some distance from our home, went smoothly and without fuss. They were quietly efficient and very respectful, and liaised with the celebrant and burial site as required.

    They are very approachable, helpful and made a stressful task so much easier.
    I would certainly recommend them.

  • 5 Emily Godfrey 1st Nov 2024

    Simon and Maria were marvellous! Organising a funeral for a loved one is heartbreaking, but their calm, kind and efficient manner made it so much easier. Despite the fact that we had to organise our funeral quickly they never made us feel rushed, they listened to us and our wishes were totally respected. Wonderful customer service. Highly highly recommended. 

  • 5 Adam Page 29th Oct 2024

    Maria, Simon and all the staff at Jeffries Funeral Directors were kind, caring and considerate.

We would like to give our heartfelt thanks and would highly recommend to anyone in their time of need at very difficult times. 

  • 5 Selina Russell 22nd Aug 2024

    Simon and Maria made our experience at Jeffries seamless. They were both professional and compassionate when navigating our way through what was a difficult time. As a family we will be forever grateful to them and whilst we hope we don’t need a funeral director in the future, if we do we will call them. Selina Russell nee McHugh

  • 5 Leonie Petrarca 2nd Aug 2024

    Thank you so much Simon and Maria for all your kindness and help in guiding us through such a difficult time. We felt everything was organised very efficiently and explained sensitively right from our first contact to the day of the service. There are so many decisions to be made and all of the recommendations were perfect from the order of service and flowers to introducing us to our lovely Celebrant Laura. A big relief we found you and we couldn’t have asked for more on such an important day!

    Jefferies Funeral Service was excellent in arranging my mother's funeral. They were kind and compassionate as well as being appropriately professional.

    We felt they enabled us to concentrate on saying goodbye to our mother, due to the fact that we trusted their professionalism in organising and facilitating everything on the day. Thank you.
