It is a very stressful & difficult process when arranging a funeral for your loved one. I chose Hayley Owens because her team make sure that you don't have to do anything. A very welcoming chat will start the process & soon you realise that the stress is lifted & you will be very well looked after. Thank you very much.

Beth made the process easy and let us tailor the service as we wanted. It was all easy and went very smoothly.

Unfortunately this was the 2nd funeral we had to organise within 3 months. On both occasions Beth and the rest of the staff at Hayley Owen were fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble and they took care of all the arrangements. Both funerals went smoothly and we were able to feel that we had given both our parents ‘a good send off’. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

Hayley Owen Funeral Services did a wonderful job organising every detail of my mum’s funeral, and we couldn’t have asked for better support during such a difficult time. Everything was handled smoothly, thoughtfully, and with genuine care. A special thank you to Beth, whose kind, sympathetic yet practical approach helped guide us through every decision and took away so much of the stress. Her calm reassurance and attention to detail made a real difference, and we’re extremely grateful to the whole team for their support throughout.

I would highly recommend Hayley Owen, she made an incredibly difficult time easier to deal with. Nothing was too much, from organising an organist to bringing mam home the night before. Everyone one involved were professional, respectful and caring.
Hayley has dealt with both mam and dad’s arrangements.
I can’t thank you all enough.

I could not recommend Hayley Owen more. They went above and beyond to make what is a terrible time as smooth and easy as possible. They are so kind and empathetic and respond very quickly to requests and we could not have been more grateful for the service they provided.

We chose Hayley Owen to look after and conduct my father’s funeral. We found everyone to be very thoughtful and respectful of us throughout the whole process. We felt that at all times Dad was safe in your care. We were a bit clueless as we had never had to arrange a funeral before but we were carefully guided through everything. Their attention to detail was excellent and we felt that nothing was too much trouble. We wanted a humanist celebration of Dad’s life and they were able to recommend some celebrants and the one we chose was fantastic, helping us to deliver a personalised and very respectful service ( thank you Alex Barnes ). On the day of the funeral we were all looked after so well. Many people commented afterwards that it was the best funeral they had ever been to. Now that is a bit of a double edged sword but we felt so pleased that we had given Dad the send off he so richly deserved and Hayley Owen played a really big part in that.
I want to finish with a special mention for Beth Hurran. Beth took care of the majority of the arrangements and she was so lovely, respectful and kind. Beth, you made such a difference to us at such a sad time in our lives. Thank you so very much.
