John Lamont 2nd Jan 2026

I couldn't have picked a better funeral director than Deighans, from the start to the finish they were brilliant.Everything they did for me and my family from explaining the funeral to the actual service was outstanding and I would highly recommend them to anyone.Once again I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you.

Phil Wignall 8th Dec 2025

Very dignified and flawless service from all the staff at Deighan's, despite the weather being atrocious. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services

  • 5 Jane Fletcher 4th Nov 2025

    Deighans Funeral Parlour were outstanding. Every conversation was dealt with sensitivity, compassion and professionalism. They dealt with every aspect of the funeral but allowing us as much input and personalisation as we wanted, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend Deighans.

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you, Jane. No two funerals are the same and we appreciate the recognition that we strive to ensure every funeral is unique and a fitting tribute.
  • 5 Linzi Kearsley 4th Nov 2025

    Thank you all very much 

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you for your very kind words and review. It is an honour to be called upon to look after a family.
  • 5 Sharon Sharrocks 23rd Oct 2025

    We chose to use deighans for dad as they are a family ran company. From the very start Shirley and the team were amazing. They showed such compassion for us as a family and for dad, and were on hand every step of the way. They looked after dad as if he was part of their own family. Even though we had to delay the funeral they made sure dad was still able to have an open coffin, this was important to mum as we are an Irish family and it's traditional to have dad home the night before for an Irish wake. Nothing was to much trouble and they called to check in on us often, even after dads funeral. Even with the building work they made sure we had time with dad, the builders were asked to stop work when we visited, but we said dad would go mad at that as he was a ground worker. We as a family couldn't have asked for better than how we were looked after. Thank you all for just being you ❤️

    Shirley Deighan replied
    Thank you, Sharon for your kind words. To be there for Dad and the family has been an honour.

  • 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.
