The family felt that all arrangements were handled with the utmost of consideration and that all requests were carried out. The fish and message on the end of the coffin were particularly apt and admired by many mourners

    Hayely and team were fantastic throughout what is a very difficult time. There is nothing that was too much for them. They did everything we asked and more. We are truly thankful for all their hard work and dedication. 

  • 5 Dorne Dunning 10th Oct 2023

    Absolutely marvellous service and staff ,

  • 5 Lorraine Bovan 23rd Aug 2023

    I’ve used Haley before. She’s very professional and also very empathetic. Her service is faultless  

  • 5 Joanna Winstanley 19th Aug 2023

    From my first enquiry and contact with the staff the service from this firm was superb- I had them recommended by a nurse in my Father’s nursing home and what a stroke of good fortune I did- ( the nurse told me this company always spend the most time with families in her experience and never rush anyone)

    Hayley and team gave me exactly the support, time and kindness I needed - very personalised to my situation. In such a difficult time it was so appreciated. Hayley was always there to guide me but never felt intrusive - the premises is so friendly, a proper family firm. No big chain here - I felt like I’d know them all years and their professional and caring attributes were very balanced - my Father was so well cared for and so was I as his daughter. I can’t recommend them more. Thank you Hayley and Patience for all your kindness and skills at this difficult time - I can see why there is a massive basket of thank you cards in your office - THANK YOU 

  • 5 Peter Wong 17th Aug 2023

    Hayley and her team had been extremely helpful right from the beginning, guiding us through out the whole process, provided much comfort to us all. Northing was too much trouble, from sorting out the order of services incorporating Chinese characters to sourcing cupcakes. We can't thank them all enough.

  • 5 Robin Benson 16th Aug 2023

    In your most difficult moment, you need a Funeral Director who shows empathy and compassion, but steps in respectfully, professionally and diligently to take over with the vital steps that need to take place.

    Hayley Owen and her wonderful team do that with a calming manner that immediately puts you at ease and makes you simply know your loved ones are in safe, trustworthy hands.

    The visit a few days later to make the arrangements with Hayley, just reinforced my feeling of calm and trust, in knowing my Mother was being looked after well.
    Hayley makes you immediately feel like you are in the presence of a friend, who always has your best interests at heart.
    But in addition to that, she also has the wisdom and experience to step in and calmly offer advice and guidance on tailoring the outcome you are looking for, when you often don't even know yourself what that might look like.

    From the actual service to the later communication with Hayley's team, you always feel like you are in the care of total professionals who support you every step of the journey.

    I recommend Hayley Owen and her caring team to anyone who is looking for a Funeral Director in York and the surrounding area to be at your side at the moment you need them most.

  • 5 Steven Tate 16th Aug 2023

    Hayley and the entire team were so thoughtful and respectful of myself and my family throughout the whole process, having never had a berevement in our family before it was all very difficult and new, I couldn't have imagined a better funeral director, they all gave us as much time as we needed and were always available for us if we needed them.

    Hayley and her whole team were fantastic. They guided us through the very painful process of arranging the funeral and made it as easy as it possibly could have been at such an awful time. 

  • 5 John Hare 6th Jul 2023

    From the moment I entered her reception Hayley put me at ease and proceeded to explain everything I needed to know.
    Through the legal requirements down to the practical things which I may not have thought of.
    Hayley is a very professional Funeral Director but also a very understanding and caring lady and I felt very safe under her guidance.

  • 5 Ian Leeman 4th Jul 2023

    Hayley and all her staff guided us through, what is such a difficult process, with incredible empathy and professionalism.
    They helped make a sad day truly special and took so much care of our precious mum.
    I would not hesitate to recommend

  • 5 Joanne Sayner 4th Jul 2023

    Mum didn’t want a fuss for her funeral just a straight in and out, but with Hayley’s and help and understanding we managed a lovely short service for all her family and friends that wanted to say goodbye.  Hayley Owen has taken care of both my mum and dad in a very dignified, caring and professional manner and I would highly recommend her.

  • 5 Caroline Wright 18th Jun 2023

    Hayley and her team were excellent from start to finish, enabling us to give our lovely mum a very dignified, personal and fitting send-off.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.
