From the first point of contact to the last Biffens were exceptional, supportive and so very kind. In our hour of need with couldn’t have asked for more from them. Only a phone call away or was very easy to pop in and see someone and always with a friendly smile.  Thankyou for everything 

Gillian Murphy 31st Jan 2026

I cannot thank the team at Biffen's enough for the care, respect, and compassion they showed whilst looking after my husband. Every detail was handled with such dignity, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They guided me gently through each step, always patient, always understanding, and always making sure I felt supported. The way they cared for my husband brought me real comfort, and I am deeply grateful for the professionalism and kindness shown throughout. Thank you for helping me give him the beautiful, peaceful farewell he deserved. Your compassion will never be forgotten.

    We as a family can’t thank John Biffins and sons in  the delicate handling of our beloved mum Florence.. from 1st call to the day of the funeral.. very caring kind and professionalism from receptionist to the pall bears to Mr John Biffin himself.. nothing was to much bother xxx

  • 5 Trevor Crook 2nd Dec 2025

    John and his brilliant team handled everything from the moment we went to see him. For family reasons, we had a very short time span to work with, further complicated by the temporary closure of the crematorium. Getting the death certificate registered in time was crucial and Biffens went above and beyond to assist in making that happen. As a result, the funeral went ahead very smoothly and the celebrant Rob delivered the service beautifully. His input into the eulogy was excellent.

  • 5 Helen Hill 29th Nov 2025

    Dear John, Sarah and all the Team at Biffen’s,

    Our family including John would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all at Biffen’s for your care and compassion in helping us manage the arrangements for our dear Jane.
    Your approach to all aspects leading up to her funeral were handled with care, accuracy and efficiency.
    The funeral service was always going to be a difficult time for us but you helped us cope with our grief with your provision of a very dignified and sympathetic service for Jane.
    It was very much appreciated.
    “ Thank You “

    Sincerely
    Helen and Peter Hill
