The staff at Peter Taylor were excellent, going beyond their care and duty. Everything was made easy from the organising of the service, the obituaries and even helped with finding a suitable venue for the wake.

    Alex was very kind, respectful and helpful throughout the process dealing with the death of my husband. He explained everything very carefully, confirmed it in writing and organised it all as we wanted. He kept in touch and gave us quick updates. Thank you.

  • 5 Stephanie Claxton 16th Jan 2023

    The service from Peter Taylor Funeral Care was excellent from start to finish. Josie kept us informed at every stage and was the kindest, and most gentle soul to communicate with and ask anything we wanted. 
    Thank you for caring for my Mum in law and helping the family get the service they wanted.

    Seamless and extremely well organised at a time where families do not need any upsets 

  • 5 Pippa Hawes 20th Dec 2022

    We have asked Peter Taylor to organise the cremation and burial of our mother and father, who passed away 7 years apart, and on both occasions they have been professional, efficient, unintrusive and empathetic. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

  • 5 Selena Day 19th Dec 2022

    They were all so respectful and professional from start to finish. We were very lucky to have thier services at such a hard time.

  • 5 William Linford 19th Dec 2022

  • 5 Sally Lloyd 12th Dec 2022

    Excellent service from beginning to end. Kind, considerate and communicative.

    A huge thank you to Jo who kept me informed constantly, and responded to every query quickly, and with great empathy. Every member of staff we came into contact with was courteous, kind and respectful. We could not have asked for more. Thank you all so much. I can totally recommend Peter Taylor Funeralcare.

  • 5 Simon Rigg 6th Dec 2022

    Alex and the team are very caring, supportive and at all times one feels free from pressure.
    We have used the firm previously and the above comments are consistent.
    Thank you

    The whole team was absolutely wonderful.
    They looked after the arrangements very carefully, following all my requirements.
    They handled everything with outstanding care. What I have appreciated the most was that they were very patient with me and showed a lot of compassion and understanding.
    What turned out was a unique celebration, that my close friends and I are going to treasure forever.
    Having the time to visit my mother every day at the chapel really made the difference. It gave me the necessary time to process the loss before the funeral.
    This experience turned out to be very useful and an unexpected surprise, also because it helped me build many positive memories from this incredibly difficult period of my life.
    The tribute webpage is another great way to keep good memories alive and organise get together in the future.
    Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!
    I will keep recommending your services to my friends.
    Laura

  • 5 Susan Seely 5th Dec 2022

    Beautiful. perfectly paced and very well organised. Thank you Alex

  • 5 John Greenaway 28th Nov 2022

    Very useful and sensitive advice and guidance given and efficient service and organisation in general

  • 4 Claudine Tourniaire 23rd Nov 2022

    I found the service extremely good. I was dealt with in a sensitive yet efficient fashion. The range and quality of the services of offer was just right for my needs. The celebrant was very friendly and put me completely at ease. On the day of the funeral, some attendants said later that they struggled to hear properly, so perhaps some thought needs to be given to the volume control, level of projection and pace of the speakers, for the sake of people with impaired hearing. Note that this only applied to people attending in person. Feedback on the webcast was very good.

    I found the lock of hair, which I had asked for, very tiny, and it should have been possible to cut a thicker one at no extra effort.

    Other than these couple of issues, I have been extremely pleased and will recommend Funeral Care if given the opportunity.

  • 5 Ian Terry 26th Oct 2022

    Thank you so much for taking our Mum into your care and for your handling of her funeral arrangements. We are grateful for your kindness and care, during what has been a difficult and sad time. Mum will remain forever in our hearts

  • 5 Hester Taylor 26th Oct 2022

    The team at Peter Taylor were first class. The lovely Jo handled everything for us with compassion and professionalism. She helped us to understand the process entirely and guided through every one of those steps. No request was ever too much trouble and we felt Mum was in very safe hands. The exceptional planning meant that we had a beautiful funeral and that meant that all of the needs of our family were met. The staff on the day could not have been better (and also for the crematorium service the following day), it all ran so smoothly, meaning that we could really focus on saying our good-byes and not worrying about anything else. Thank you so much, it’s very much appreciated. 

  • 5 Angela Yeomans 18th Oct 2022

  • 5 Gary McGuinness 17th Oct 2022

    All of the staff at Peter Taylor Funeralcare were amazing and took such good care of me, my family and my loved one in such a time of need. Would very much recommend them to anyone who is unfortunate enough  to need their services.

  • 5 Moira Spokes 13th Oct 2022

    From the initial interview to the day of my Dads funeral and for days after Alex at Peter Taylor’s was calm, kind, efficient and thoughtful. He showed enormous respect to my dad and the family. I cannot thank him enough for making such a sad time a little more bearable. Communication and overall level of service was flawless.
