Barringtons Funeral Directors helped me through a really difficult time. Being the first funeral I've had to arrange Claire guided me with genuine sensitivity and advice. Thanks goes to Debbie and Beth who also stepped in to help. Probably one if the most emotional things to arrange was made so much easier with their guidance and advice. Thanks so much.

My Brother Nicholas "Nicky" John Yates, what can I say as his sister I only ever wanted the very best for him in life and death and including his funeral. I know I gave him my heart and soul each and everyday. I will miss him truly. I hope he is with our Mother and Father now at peace. His funeral was dealt with by Clare L. Woods, she was put into a very complicated family situation having the funeral booked by myself and then rebooked by his two children. This was hard to deal with by us all, but Clare supported us all the way to the end. Clare has still been helping us today, chatting to us and sorting things out. Clare Woods has a natural talent for her profession and should be treasured by the company she is employed by. Clare Woods is a compassionate, kind, caring person having lost two of her own family. I can only say a massive Thank you from us all for Clare Woods and Barringtons genuine family funeral. I would highly recommend Barringtons to anyone. Many Thanks again, Christine Skillicorn, Keith Skillicorn xxxxx
