  • 5 Janet Shaw 3rd Mar 2023

    Everything was discussed in a relaxed and comfortable environment with compassion. This made the whole experience much less stressful. 

  • 5 Nicole Hobson 24th Feb 2023

    Arranging my own mothers funeral was the most difficult thing to do, but Hayley are her team helped an awful process so much nicer.
    From having a selection of caskets to choose from (and the seagrass was lovely- just perfect for my mum).
    I’m not sure if all funeral directors do as much as Hayley does, but from liaising with the wake venue, the humanist celebrant, the flowers and sorting the order of service- they took so much stress away with their flawless organisational skills, and it was much more than I expected.
    Also the finishing touches: the personalised collection box and the touching angel card (that has flower seeds on) I received in the post after the funeral.
    Hayley’s team do an amazing job, and I would thoroughly recommend them.

  • 5 David Coverdale 23rd Feb 2023

    I cannot praise the team at Hayley Owen enough. From start to finish the service I and my family received was excellent. Patience guided the family to provide a funeral appropriate to my dads wishes. My dad was not religious but was proud of is army days. Patience instrumental in contacting Nicholas Boole to be the master celebrant. Excellent advise. Everyone at the furneral left saying how proud my dad would have been.

  • 5 Jo Mews 22nd Feb 2023

    Hayle and all the team handled ever aspect of my dads funeral arrangements with efficiency, care and warmth. Hayle rang me each Friday to check I was ok as I had told her this was my special day with my dad where I would take him flowers and food etc.
    Its a small family business where you are a person not just a number. Hayle talked us through all the options of things like the coffin and guided us through things like using a humanist Celebrant making everything so easy.
    I can strongly recommend using them. Nothing was too much trouble and we had complete confidence in them and their service. Thankyou so much Hayle

    Hayley and Dave were lovely when dealing with my husbands funeral. Hayley made things very easy for the whole family at a time when my brain was on strike.

    They both went out of their way to accommodate our needs (with Dave being there for us after hours), at a time when Hayley was grieving too.

    I would happily recommend using them to anyone.

    Hayley and her team provided an excellent and very supportive process, from start to finish, for my dad's funeral.
    Every little detail was given attention and the funeral itself went exactly to plan.
    I cannot praise this team enough for what they did for my family at such a difficult time.
    I would highly recommend the services Hayley and her team provide - especially funeral planning during the early stages of a terminal diagnosis of a loved one.

  • 4 Vanessa Kew 16th Jan 2023

    I was very pleased with the service Hayley Owen funeral services gave, with the prompt arrival in the early hours of the morning after the death of my father. I found her very professional from start to finish. The only thing I would say I would of liked a little guidance on when to go into and out of the funeral as this was my first funeral.

  • 5 Amie Goulding 12th Jan 2023

    I was blown away with how well we were looked after by Hayley Owens team. Patience took my brother, sister and me through every step of organising our Mums funeral. Patience was amazing! She put us at ease straight away, listened to everything we had to say and made great suggestions for the proper send off we were looking for.
    The day of the funeral ran perfectly and this was down Patience and the team being calm, experienced and well presented.
    I would highly recommend the service Hayley Owen provides. They make a horrible situation that bit easier by being caring, patient and respectful.
