Thank you for your careful and considerate care of my mother's funeral arrangements. In such a difficult time it makes a big difference dealing with people I felt I could trust to carry this out professionally and caringly.

Mandy Clarke 18th Mar 2024

I met with Will Jones. Will was very caring. He explained everything in detail as to what the process would be. He has telephoned me on the days he said he would. Also when I called him he knew who I was immediately. The whole service I received for my brother was outstanding, so thank you.

    The team at Heworth Funeral care were kind, caring and supportive from the first phone call right through to the follow up care after the service. 

    Will and his team went above and beyond to make sure that as a family we were kept up to date and involved in every decision right from the start. We were encouraged to contact them with any questions at any time.
