Beth was our main point of contact and we couldn't have been treated better. She talked us through all the options, was professional and caring throughout.The information was clear enabling us to make the right choice for us. Communication was good all the way through so that we were aware of what was happening at every stage. Beth made what was such a difficult time for us, dignified and bearable.

About Us

Hayley has been interested in the funeral profession since she was 15. Hayley, along with her husband David, who is a qualified funeral director, were so pleased to finally open their own independent funeral home, Hayley Owen Funeral Director, in 2015.

Hayley & David take great pride in personalising each funeral to every family's wishes and invite families to come and look at their lovely funeral homes, in York and Knaresborough, have a cup of tea or coffee with them, read their verified reviews on the Funeral Guide platform and then make your decision.

All good funeral directors will be more than happy to show prospective clients where their loved one will be cared for, and to answer any questions you might have. Whilst an appointment may be required before visiting the mortuary, as the person paying for the services of a funeral director, prospective customers have every right to ask to see where their loved one will be resting whilst they are in the care of the company they are considering employing.

Families can also ask to see the company’s cremated remains policy and to ask to be shown the procedures they have in place to ensure that the correct cremated remains are returned to the client following a cremation. All good funeral directors will understand just how worrying the current investigations are and will do their best to reassure you that they have watertight procedures in place, and that they and all their staff follow best practice. If a request to see the mortuary is refused, or if insistence on reassurance about procedures is met with resistance, then it is recommend you consider changing funeral directors. Remember, you are the client, the person who has died is precious to you, and you have to have complete trust that your loved one is in safe hands.

Call Hayley Owen Funeral Services today to make any further enquiries or to engage their services. For further information you can click 'Visit Website' on this page to be redirected to the Funeral Director's main website.
