    As a family we have now used this small family of undertakers a number of times. Warren and Jonathan are so caring and passionate about your loved ones who have passed, they are very considerate, thoughtful and very kind when they visit your home to discuss your plans. The team they have are exceptional, from the receptionist through to their drivers and pall bearers. I would 100% recommend this wonderful family run business to anyone. We want to say a huge thank you to you all for my father's funeral in 2020 during Covid and yesterday 29th June for our wonderful mums funeral. You are all a credit to your profession.

    From calling them following mum's passing to us being dropped off to our venue following the cremation service, the service received was impeccable. The staff are very professional, patient and compassionate. They know their job inside out and did everything possible to make sure we were informed, and that we understood everything that was going to happen. I cannot thank them enough for the lovely service received. I highly recommend them.

  • 5 Diane Round 11th Feb 2023

    I helped my step dad and mum pre plan their funerals several years ago with warren who came to their house. He made a very difficult discussion easy and we even had a few laughs. The team took great care of my step dad Derek 7 years ago and Mum only a week ago. We loved them both so much but knew that warren and the team would take care of them both. Even arranging for our mums dog friend to attend her funeral as she had asked. 43 years ago they looked after our Dad. I was only 13 at the time but I know they must have been very respectful and professional for mum to choose them for her all those years later. So thank you. You made extremely dark times in our lives a tiny bit more bearable

  • 5 Jessica Thornton 31st Jan 2023

    An amazing personal and dignified company with staff that will go above and beyond to ensure that this heartbreaking time is as kind as it can be. They explain things clearly, make you feel at ease and show upmost respect. Thank you Warren, Terri and team for making this process all the easier. 

  • 5 John Gooseman 23rd Dec 2022

    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.

  • 5 Gillian Davis 14th Dec 2022

  • 5 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.

  • 5 Helen Weller 21st Oct 2022

    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.
