As a family Viners made the arrangements so easy, they dealt with us with care, respect and dignity, and I felt totally reassured on the day of the funeral that all would be well.

Keith Gofton 5th Oct 2021

Viners could not have done any more to make our mum's funeral a perfect celebration of her life. Nothing was too much trouble, they even took mum's flowers to our dad's grave in another cemetery. I cannot recommend them too highly.

Very professional. Staff were excellent.

    No words can say how wonderful Viner & Sons have been from the start of the arrangements for our dear John to the end. Clare and ALL the team have been so attentive and so supportive at such a sad time. We could not have hoped for a more beautiful funeral to say our goodbyes.
    Thank you to everyone.

    We have used Viners Funeral home recently. Every care was taken to put us at ease with suggestions when we were unsure of a decision. On the day personnel were very respectful,  keeping us informed all the way through. Personnel always asked before commencing any part of the service etc. Highly recommended. Thank you to Lisa for keeping us up to date throughout.

They all made a very hard time more bearable . Thank you to Lisa and Nathan as well as the rest of the staff . 

  • 5 Neil Brighton 17th Aug 2021

    Very attentive and responsive.

  • 5 David Wilson-Green 16th Aug 2021

    Unquestionably excellent. Nothing was too much trouble on the run up to the funeral and on the day itself. The team had the ability to be there on the day, absolutely on cue but vanish into the background unnoticed when not needed.

    Even the Verger at the Church said to me that they had never witnessed such great service and she had been doing the job for decades! When I go, I want these guys taking me to my final resting place!

    Highly recommend Viner and Sons

  • 5 John Postlethwaite 9th Aug 2021
