What lovely people, can’t praise them enough from start to finish so professional yet a family feel.

Terri Green 12th Aug 2025

Deighans have been truly outstanding throughout the entire process – empathetic, caring, and guiding me every step of the way to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. My heartfelt thanks to Shirley, Ryan, and the rest of the team – you have genuinely made a very difficult time so much easier to bear.

  • 5 Sylvia Sangster 30th Jun 2025

    From our first meeting at their premises in Adlington to our being dropped off for the wake, my family and I were treated with warmth, respect and understanding. Rebecca started us off on the difficult path of navigating what felt right and what we wanted. Rai, our Celebrant, whose easy manner and skill at knowing what we needed and wanted, sometimes even better than we did, helped us achieve them. Shirley's demeanour and kindness on the day took it up another level.
    For anyone facing the stress and sadness of organising a funeral, this entire family / team felt so supportive and kept me informed, constantly, along this difficult and emotional road.
    I would like to thank them all again on behalf of my family and do not hesitate to recommend their services for anyone facing this journey.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you for your kind words, Sylvia. It has been a privilege to support you all.
  • 5 Darran Turner 29th Jun 2025

    An incredible team. From the moment Rai came to our home, to when they dropped us at the wake, they took such good care of us. Nothing was too much trouble even with late changes because I’d made a mistake. Just listening to what we were saying amongst ourselves in the cars and sorting it. Dad had a piper and I said the only piper tune I would recognise was “flower of Scotland’. Ryan heard this and spoke to the piper who then played it when we came out of the church. Stunning customer service with a mix of appropriate humour and respect. Knocking on the door of the room where dad was resting before entering for example. An amazing family and an amazing funeral service. Thank you from all of us. 

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you for your very kind words. Looking after Dad and the family has been an honour.
  • 5 David Nolan 15th Jun 2025

    Very professional from start to finish. Caring, sensitive, informative. Never having had to organise a funeral before, Deighan's were just what I needed.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you David. It has been an honour to be there for you and the family.
  • 5 Libby Shorthouse 3rd Jun 2025

    Such a lovely family business, made everything from start to finish as easy as possible. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now xx

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you for your kind words, Libby. It has been a privilege to support you all.
  • 5 Catherine Morris 26th May 2025

    It is so important that your loved ones are treated with the same care and dignity as if they are still here and this is exactly what Deighans gave us. I know my Dad was being well looked after. They showed the upmost respect. They organised a wonderful funeral and such a beautiful service.
    Thank you for all you did. It will always be appreciated.
    Special thanks to Stephen who was always so supportive and to Rai for doing such a lovely service.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Morning Catherine, Thank you for your kind words. It has been an honour to be there for you and to learn so much of Dad's story. Rai

  • 5 Lindsey Boundy 3rd May 2025

    I can not thank Deighan's Funeral Parlour enough for how much and how well they looked after my wonderful Aunt and us at the most painful and desperate time imaginable. I was so shocked and upset when I had my very first call with Shirley and she literally held my hand and continued to do so the whole way through. She informed me of things I needed to know, answered questions I felt I needed answering and listened to me with compassion and understanding.
    She did everything she could to remove the mounting tasks which at such time, you just can't face. I will always be grateful to her.
    When I met Rai, he basically took my other hand. The care, understanding, kindness and respect he and Shirley showed for my Aunt and to our family was incredible. Rai took time to understand as much as possible about my Aunt and did it in such a supportive and patient way.
    I honestly do not know what I would have done without Shirley, Rai and the wonderful team who helped us all.
    The service was beautiful and Rai spoke of my Aunt like she was his own.
    I can not recommend Deighan's more highly, they quite literally hold you up and take your loved one into their very generous care. Thank you to them all.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you, Lindsey. To know you have felt cared for and listened to, means a lot to us. Thank you once again. Rai
