    Superb and very personal service from a very efficient company.

  • 5 Stephen Brooks 9th Oct 2019

    Never a good time to deal with anyone for the first time but in all honesty Hayley Owen's team have been particularly helpful in respecting my father's last wishes and treated me with great kindness throughout. There's something reassuring about a small independent business that treats me as a client instead of a case number that needs processing. We haven't completed it all yet but I have no worries.

    Hayley is so caring and compassionate and goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is right and just the way you want it.

I would highly recommend their services to family and friends.

    Hayley and her husband were incredible from start to finish. She took on board all our requirements and everything was carried out perfectly with care and compassion. I can not recommend her highly enough! A sad day was turned into a celebration of mums life in the best way possible 

  • 5 Andrew Jeff 18th Sep 2019

    Hayley was a pleasure to deal with from first contact and throughout our various meetings, some at short notice and at home, to arrange our mothers funeral. During this time she offered sound guidance on the decisions we needed to make and the services she could offer whilst fully accommodating our own wishes to personalise the funeral service itself. She went out of her way to remove the stress of making sensitive arrangements at a difficult time. Hayley is a friendly, courteous and supportive professional for whom nothing is too much trouble and we wish her well in her new premises.

  • 5 Vicky Cumberland 22nd Aug 2019

    Hayley owen right from the first phone call was so considerate, helpful and reassuring she would do everything I wanted rather than dictate to me what should be done.  The manner in which  the body was laid out showed she had treated it with respect. She kept me informed throughout and was so kind on the funeral day and led me through the entire process. I certainly would recommend this young girl who not only has beautiful premises but her Daimler cars are very impressive. Those waiting at the crematorium for our arrival, certainly noticed!
