  • 5 Donald Hay 14th Mar 2022

    I was a little apprehensive about arranging my brothers funeral, but my worries were soon over when I contacted Abbey Funeralcare.
    Everything was thoroughly explained to me and I realised that they were doing all the main work for me. Collecting the body, booking the cremation, contacting a celebrant etc.
    Everything was handled with dignity from initial meeting to the final cremation.
    You hear stories of the high cost of funerals, but these were soon dispelled, as I thought the price was very reasonable.
    Well done Abbey Funeralcare .

  • 4 Brian Lancaster 14th Mar 2022

    Service provided was efficient and sympathetic. With the exception of a donation box, which was requested but not provided, everything was as agreed.
    The advice offered was accurate and valuable.

  • 5 Caroline Farrar 14th Mar 2022

    The attention and care we received was excellent. Suze, Diane and Tara went out of their way to make everything as easy as possible by taking the lead whilst giving us complete control over what we wanted. I changed my mind over a couple of things during the arrangements but never felt I was being a nuisance. The day was lovely and everyone was very respectful and accommodating.
