From the beginning of our journey Abbey Road funeral directors were amazing. They were both professional, organised and structure alongside displaying a vast amount of empathy and compassion which is needed when dealing with the sudden death of a family member. On finding ourselves faced with such devastating sadness and tasked with arranging a funeral, I cannot thank Claire and her team enough for their beautiful handling of this delicate situation.The patience and humanity shown was priceless. I will be forever grateful for their input at such an heartbreaking time!

  • 5 Susan Kay 13th Jul 2023

    The empathy, professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated by our Funeral Director Clare Winter throughout the planning and day itself was first class! I cannot speak highly enough of Clare, she was very thoughtful in her suggestions to us, at a time when we were somewhat overwhelmed, and extremely helpful in explaining things. I would have no hesitation in recommending the organisation but more importantly Clare who was just outstanding. Thank you!

  • 5 Tanya Freeman 2nd Mar 2023

    John Fairest Funeral Care were very good, efficient, organised and no fuss. Mum didn't want a funeral so we had a direct cremation, her ashes were returned within the week and its really nice to have her back home with me so quickly. The team at John Fairest kept me up to date with what was happening and I definitely would recommend them, in fact I already recommended them to friends who were planning their own direct cremations. A huge thank you to all the team for your help and support throughout the whole process.

  • 5 Patrick Doughty 28th Feb 2023

  • 4 John Hunter 6th Feb 2023

    I should like to thank the staff for being so very helpful,friendly, never pushy, explaining everything and encouraging us to have the funeral which we wanted. My brother died in London but having no family nor friends there we wanted to bring him back to Sheffield. This was done with no fuss and the funeral service was just what we wanted. I would also add that the cost of the funeral was very fairly priced. I would recommend John Fairest, caring and professional.
