Aaron Bell 20th Feb 2023
The experience I received from H&W Harkess was nothing short of outstanding, this is in regards to the funeral of my late mum and this was my very first time in organising something like this. Everything from the start of myself booking the service right through to the service going ahead was completely above in beyond an extremely straightforward process I was talked through which type of service I would like and asked, never forced, or pressured into anything extra in regards to flowers or a viewing e.t.c and I also feel that I was listened to throughout and not once felt rushed or hurried. As I said above this was the first time I had ever organised a funeral and was not looking forward to doing so but the experience, care, understanding and respect I received from H&W Harkess made an extremely difficult time in my life just that very bit easier. Funerals are never something we want to think about, especially when it comes to the death of a loved one, but I can honestly and wholeheartedly recommend H&W Harkess without a single doubt.
