The only thing I was not informed that I had to ask for my brothers body to be embalmed hence he was not and after I was told after 4 weeks as I live in Leicester I could not see him as his body had decomposed.

The Coop Funeral care in Newington provided an excellent service from meeting to discuss what my mother and the family requested for her funeral to the actual service celebrating her life at the end. Thank You

They managed to forget the ashes casket I ordered, then got the date of death wrong on the certificate for cremation

From the first moment that I entered the funeral directors and spoke to Robin, I felt sure that harkess were going to look after my recently departed mum, and guide us through the funeral arrangements. All went as planned and hoped for on the day, with a lovely tribute created by the humanist celebrant that harkess had recommended. We were well looked after by Stewart and Rory on the morning itself and all financial costs were clearly explained to us. All in all, harkess were excellent.

The service was outstanding, Robin and the team took care of everything at the hardest time. Robin was available for my family and I to support and advise us. I had never organised a funeral and Robin helped us personalise it to make it a sad but beautiful experience.

It would have been excellent but due to a couple of bumps along the way I think very good is pretty good as well. I would recommend Harkess.

5 Lynn Wilson 20th Feb 2023

Caring, compassionate, respectful and efficient are all words I would use to describe the services of H&W Harkess and in particular, Clare and Robin. At such a difficult time the family felt assured that everything was being taken care of. All the familly's wishes were followed. The funeral itself went perfectly. The family cannot thank the team enough.

All the staff were outstanding and the whole organisation and actual funeral went smoothly 
I was kept informed at all stages before, during and after the funeral which helped tremendously 
I feel Clair and Stewart went above and beyond with their assistance which I found a real comfort
