As a family we was using the services of Jeffries at a totally unexpected time. We have never had to deal with the parting of a close family member before, we were helped through the process with care, compassion, and understanding. We could not have asked for better service, we was advised at every stage of the process in a very professional manner, even on the funeral day we was treated, explained and advised every step of the way. I fully recommend this company especially Jeff Harland Jones who went the extra mile, was polite, helpful and professional throughout.

  • 5 Emma Munro 12th May 2023

    All staff were amazing from first phone call we had with them. And they made sure we had a wonderful service for my mother, they are such a caring team 

  • 5 Susa Urquhart 9th May 2023

    At a very sad and difficult time, made more so by not living in the area and so having to make all arrangements remotely, Maria and her colleagues at Jefferies were professional, sensitive to our needs and extremely helpful, especially when choices had to be made. I believe that being a family firm gives that sense of individuality that was so important to us.

  • 5 Karen Blunden 11th Apr 2023

    We would thoroughly recommend Jefferies. Michael and Maria were with us every step of the way when we used them to take care of our Mum’s funeral. They were caring, compassionate and professional and nothing was too much trouble. They helped make a very difficult time easier.

    Couldn’t fault Jeffries funerals , they were great from the first meeting with Maria who arranged our meeting with Sean who was excellent with the service he gave our dad but we especially want to mention Michael who done so much for us he was there from start to finish and took a lot of the stress from us. Thank you so much all of you

  • 5 Rita Hambrook 8th Mar 2023

    Jeffries Funeral Directors were amazing, they supported the family and went out of their way to make small details matter.

    We were kept to date with progress, which was due to a delay in having our dad's body released. 

    Both Maria and Michael were fantastic, kind and caring.

    Thank you

  • 5 Paul Stacey 9th Feb 2023

    Maria and Michael, part of the Simon Jefferies team and the pallbearers done a wonderful service from when I contacted them to inform that Mum had passed away to when they collected my Mum from the hospital,they went through the individual parts of what was involved for Mum's funeral preparations, they Mum look lovely in the chapel of rest, they went through the paperwork involved in the Argus announcement, They arranged the order of service printing for the church service from the draft we gave them from Father Andrews draft copy,they carried my Mum into church with such dignity and they took Mum out with the same dignity.They did with dignity the carrying of my Mum into the Crematorium on her final journey.It was a dignified funeral for my Mum, just as she would have wanted it to be and everyone said what a wonderful send off for my Mum and what a wonderful Funeral company.
