Highly recommended was very professional and helpful through a very tough time x
Kim Hayler 15th Aug 2026
I honestly cannot thank Bournes Funeral Directors enough for the kindness, compassion and care they showed our family at the most heartbreaking time of our lives. From the very beginning, we felt completely reassured that our lovely Dad was in the best possible hands. Nothing ever felt rushed, we were given all the time we needed, and everything was handled with such dignity, patience and genuine compassion. At a time when you feel completely lost and overwhelmed, having people you can trust to take care of someone so precious to you means more than words can say. We always felt that Dad was being treated with the utmost respect and care, and that brought us such comfort. The kindness shown to us throughout, and the care taken in making sure Dad received the beautiful send-off he deserved, is something we will never forget. We will always be incredibly grateful to everyone at Bournes for looking after our Dad, and us, so wonderfully. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough. ❤️

From our first contact through to the day of the funeral the team were exceptional. They treated us with genuine care, kindness and respect. They showed professionalism and their attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. They supported us through a very difficult time and we are very grateful. Excellent service from beginning to end. We would highly recommend them.
