We are really pleased with the service we received from James Summers Funeral Care arranging Dad's funeral. They were professional and caring, and we felt reassured that we were in safe hands throughout. Tara Collins deserves a special mention for being so warm, kind and understanding. She listened carefully to our wishes for Dad's funeral and respected these, offering helpful guidance when we asked for it. She led us through the journey so sensitively, keeping us updated regularly and responding to our queries promptly. Thank you so much for helping us organise the funeral we wanted for Dad, and for making this difficult time that much easier.

    Hi , we are actually really disappointed  with service . Yet another error is made , this is supposed to be addressed to Jacky the wife or Derek. The limousine which was ordered broke down , the funeral director called with all the wrong details , it wasn’t made clear that Jane Summers were the funeral directors , the coffin took over 7 weeks as there was a strike , we were promised the over flow chapel in which we were informed the day before the microphone was broke and the container for the ashes is now out of stock .. so overall there were to many errors in which at the the point of time given the circumstances of having a loved one passed , we are not happy with the overall serve co-op provided .

  • 5 Elizabeth Fitzgibbon 23rd Jan 2023

    We were looked after so well by all the staff from the first time of contact, throughout all the organisation, and on the day of the funeral. We very much appreciated the care given to us as well as how smoothly the day went.

  • 5 James Leonard 10th Jan 2023

    In a time of sadness James Summers took care of mum and made her last journey with care, respect and dignity.
    Many thanks to the staff who helped my sister and I through an emotional time and making the last services for a loved one as stress free as possible.

  • 5 Peter Gregson 13th Dec 2022

    I felt the service I received was very good, the only thing I was left wondering was what time the cars would pick us up. This was resolved but I would have felt better if this was arranged a day or two before the funeral rather than the evening before.
    Beth in the Whitchurch branch was very comapsionate and the drivers/funeral director on the day were also very good. I would use your service again.

  • 5 Julie Scherer 5th Dec 2022

    Friendly, helpful and supportive in all aspects, and we give a big thank you to the team who made sure the funeral and internment went without any problems and Mam was laid to rest.
