From the collection of my mums body from her home to the Funeral on the 2nd April I found everyone at Browns professional and courteous. It was important to the family that everything was done right as she would have wanted it and that was certainly the case. Thankyou to all those from Browns who were involved. Paul Brown

    Amber was absolutely fantastic with helping us to sort the arrangements out. On the day of the funeral Allyson was fantastic the support we received from her was more than what we expected.

  • 5 Steven Garlick 8th Apr 2024

    Great service and attention to detail, would highly recommend their services

  • 5 Susan Nield 27th Mar 2024

    The whole team from Brown's were exceptional. From the moment my late uncle was brought into the funeral home and until his burial he was treated with the utmost care and respect.
    The planning of his funeral was professional and well organised and enabled family members to contribute and express our wishes for certain parts of the funeral. When it became known the funeral would have a military presence and media coverage the Brown's team were outstanding and maintained dignity and respect for my late uncle while at the same time rose to the occasion and ensured all the additional elements went smoothly. My late uncle's funeral was a respectful, dignified celebration of his life, achievements and values. Thank you.

  • 5 Glen Charles 12th Mar 2024

They were extremely helpful and the whole family expressed how beautiful the service was . Any thing we required assistance with there was always someone available to offer help and  support . 

  • 4 Ian Campbell 16th Feb 2024

    Browns Funeralcare were efficient and compassionate in preparing my wife's funeral, which on the day went smoothly and well. It would have been a five star review had my wife's middle name, Mary, not been misspelt (as it is in this request for a review) on several occasions, but fortunately corrected on Linda's coffin.

  • 5 Andrew Newton 12th Feb 2024

  • 5 Marjorie Astley 8th Jan 2024

    From the beginning the staff were very kind warm and professional they guided us through all the stages of arranging the funeral of my mum. On the day of the funeral they were wonderful and all acted with such dignity I cannot thank them enough I would certainly recommend them .

  • 5 Joyce Woods 8th Jan 2024

    A very supportive and professional service provided by all involved. Highly recommended 

  • 5 Barbara Brown 2nd Jan 2024

    Allyson was very efficient when she came to see us. When I sent the green form by post I rang her immediately,because she’d stressed its importance, left a message and was told it hadn’t been received.I felt the suggestion to hand  out the service sheets once people had gathered was too late and arranged for them to be handed to people as they entered. Arrangements on the day were faultless and Allyson and her team showed great respect. I received an invoice which I feel should have had an accompanying letter as a matter of courtesy.. I’ve also been asked for the coop number which you must have had when the funeral plan was arranged. I’m waiting for someone to contact me. The man at the funeral home was also respectful when we went to view Peter. I’m a little old fashioned and do not appreciate being addressed as sweetheart over and over again, finding it patronizing and inappropriate, although I know  this was not  intended. I mention this because other older people may feel the same. My comments are made in good faith and I have given you a 5 star rating. 

  • 5 Susan Hutchins 28th Dec 2023

    From start to finish excellent service with sympathetic and understanding staff.

  • 5 Sonya Walsh 18th Dec 2023

    From the moment my father passed to after the funeral, Brown's have been nothing but professional. They have kept me up to date daily on what to expect and took excellent care of my father. The staff are caring and respectful and I would definitely recommend them. They also contacted me a few days after the funeral to offer their support and condolences.
