  • 2 Linda Jones 9th Jan 2023

    The actual day went very well. Dave Williams was excellent. However the lead up to the funeral was very stressful. The arranger was very poor - at one stage she told me that she had to prioritise cases when I rang her up. I was expecting a telephone call from Manager in 4th Jan. Still waiting!!

  • 5 David Bentley 3rd Jan 2023

    Hello - we were helped by Tara who was very clear, understanding and helpful and we really appreciate her guidance.

  • 5 Kelly Finlayson 19th Dec 2022

    Can’t thank summer’s funeral care enough for how they made our lives so pleasant during a very sad and struggling time.
    Maureen, Ed, Andrew and the rest of the team are absolutely amazing kind caring people.
    Nothing was to much trouble for them, during the several calls and emails from myself.
    The send off for my dad was absolutely outstanding thanks to Ed and Maureen.
    They treated us like they were part of our family.
    Words can’t express my grateful feelings towards this teams, I’m so glad to have chosen summers to take my dad into there care.
    We would recommend this funeral home to everyone that loses a loved one thank you so much.

  • 5 Frank Rankmore 13th Dec 2022

    James Summer’s were exceptional in helping and guiding me through my father’s funeral arrangements especially Maureen. On the day they were so professional that it made a difficult occasion easy. A big thank you to everyone at James Summer’s 

  • 5 Andrew Jenkins 13th Dec 2022

    I found James Summers Funeralcare thoroughly supportive, helpful and professional throughout the time between my mother's death to the funeral and beyond. Our funeral director Cari Vaughan showed empathy and understanding with the planning the service and what we wanted; and ensured that the funeral itself went as perfectly as we could have wanted.

  • 5 David Atkinson 12th Dec 2022

    Impeccable service, staff were excellent.

  • 5 Robert Clarke 7th Nov 2022

    Well looked after by Maureen during preparations and also David on the day.

  • 5 David Hullin 7th Nov 2022

    Efficient and compassionate in equal measure

  • 5 Yvonne H. 1st Nov 2022

    On the whole we were very pleased how the burial proceeded, we were a very small group of 3 attending, and did not expect to have had the same courtesy as at full funeral service. We were surprised and pleased with the presence of the Priest as he involved us in his service by giving readings to' do so that we were involved in the procedure. In fact we found that everything was respectable and standing around the grave and participation of all concerned was very moving. It was what my Sister would have wanted, as she was of a religious disposition, and we had provided a burial as she had requested and the priest holding a service at the graveside, it was all she would have desired. All your staff present were very helpful and professional, and we extend our thanks to them.

  • 3 Emma Grant 31st Oct 2022

    There were aspects that really disappointed and those that were okay. Overall I’m dreading doing the process again for my step Dad (who also has the same plan with yourselves) and my Dad who doesn’t already have a plan but wanted to purchase one. Despite my Mum paying for and arranging most of it in advance, it was still an ordeal laced with confusion, miscommunication, lack of empathy and an unprofessional manner. I felt like I was making a purchase I wasn’t happy with, yet had to feel grateful with what I got because it was on a plan. And I was asked for a payment when I was expecting a refund for services originally I was told we didn’t need or couldn’t have. Later to be told now we can have them and there will be no refund if we don’t? 40 mins being directed to the Co op complaints department when I was told I was being direct to the refund department didn’t help either. 
    The celebrant and service was good though and having arranged a previous unplanned funeral 10 months before with Joseph for our mother in law which we were happy with, it was a stark contrast to what we were expecting. 

  • 5 Angharad Jones 24th Oct 2022

    The team at James Summers were unfailingly polite, respectful and supportive. We received excellent service at every stage.

  • 5 Chun Law 20th Oct 2022

    Outstanding service! Very professional and compassionate during this difficult time. 

  • 5 Dawn Collins 18th Oct 2022

    David Williams and staff of James Summers care of our Mum was done with dignity and professionalism and they were always accessible on the phone.

  • 4 Janet Sullivan 11th Oct 2022

    Apart from the time it took to arrange the funeral, which was over 5 weeks after my mum had passed, the day of the funeral went very well indeed.  

  • 5 Barbara Jenkins 5th Oct 2022

    Five stars says it all - very professional operation - David Williams was exceptional pre and post the procedure.

  • 5 Maureen Rice 4th Oct 2022

    First class service from all James Summers Funeral Care employees beginning with the initial notification telephone call (DAVID)  right through to the culmination of the funeral day and beyond.
    Also Many Thanks go to David, Andrew and Julian for all their help and consideration throughout.
