The funeral directors, Parkinson & sons, provided a sensitive approach to the occasion of my mums passing but in a professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble. They have also provided services for my father and sister in the past and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them in the future.

Gillian Davis 14th Dec 2022

Excellent service. Everyone was so thoughtful, professional, efficient and friendly, making a difficult process as good as it could be. Heartfelt thanks on behalf of all the family. 

Lisa Nixon 26th Nov 2022

Very professional and kind funeral directors that allowed us to give my Mum's partner of 42 years a service personalised just as we wanted. Guided us through the process and gave good advice which took away some of the stress for us as a family. The hearse was immaculate, attendants smart and respectful, and the floral tribute beautiful. The funeral service was a fitting tribute to Eric's 82 years. Special thanks to Warren who we met 2 years ago at my Grandad's funeral, and to Craig for making this possible, both such gentleman. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for the safe keeping of your departed loved ones.

    Warren made the whole experience really simple for us at an emotional time.  He helped with the order of service, sorted a celebrant and kept in touch with arrangements.  He made the process so simple.  Would strongly recommend Parkinson’s.

    Because of all the planning prior to the funeral, of which Warren was a big help guiding me through everything and making suggestions when I got a bit lost and emotional, the actual funeral went very smoothly. Thanks too to Robin for the service and the readings and all the lovely things that were said about Brian. It was done with dignity and humour. Everyone who attended said that it was a lovely service. Looking back on the day I feel that Brian got the send off he would have wanted and one which he deserved.
