  • 4 Maxine Fish 8th Nov 2023

    The only complaint would be the Celebrator they recommended advised me he would be doing the service for my mum which I found very insensitive as it is my dad who has passed away. 

  • 2 Mala McCarthy 4th Nov 2023

    we got regular phone calls checking all arrangements. However nothing was actioned.
    Order of service not received . as not saved by coop people
    photographs handed in and ordered at great expense were not delivered to crematorium.
    Left in limbo with no one contacting us .we were promised a call back and we have just been left to suffer.
    Had to therefore write this review.
    Terrible customer care

  • 5 Susan Watt 24th Oct 2023

    From the very first phone call to Louise, updates from Bev and Rianne to the beautiful ceremony.

    Cheethams provided us all with so much kindness and comfort. 

    From the big decisions to the finer details, they went above and beyond, we will forever be grateful for the help and guidance during such a difficult time for us.

    We couldn’t have asked for mum  to have been placed in a safer pair of hands than Cheethams Funeral Service. 

    Thank you all for such a perfect service for our lovely mum and we would recommend to any family going through a sad loss.

  • 5 Linda Swales 25th Sep 2023

    I would like to thank you for arranging my husbands funeral; from looking after him during his resting time until his cremation at Peel Green Crematorium. My husband was treated with such dignity & respect by all of your staff members; as was I and our family. Your support all the way through was outstanding. On the day itself I was immensely proud that you had delivered the special send-off I had envisioned; I will be forever grateful.
