  • 5 Samantha Sayers 9th Jan 2023

    Kirsty went above and beyond for me after my partner got taken away from me at the very young at of 40. Being 35 myself organising my partners funeral was something I never thought I’d have to do so at the most traumatic time of my life I didn’t have a clue where to even start. From the very first telephone phone to fairest all the staff were kind compassionate caring and heartwarming, people I needed around me for guidance at this horrendous time. The funeral was exactly how we had planned it and was a beautiful tribute to my pete. Fairest also cared for both my grandparents and they’d be my first point of call for any of my loved ones in the future. Thank you Kirsty and team for everything you have done for me and my children no words will ever be enough to express how much your kindness has touched our hearts. Lots of love sam and family Xx

  • 4 Susan Ward 3rd Jan 2023

    The initial booking experience was not the best, several phone calls, always speaking to a different person and one that promised to revert with information and did not do so.
    Once the booking had been made, everything from that point was exemplary. I cannot fault the funeral arrangements, service, the celebrant and the care that was shown.

    Sherree listened to our wishes, allowing grandsons to take part carrying the coffin, and instructed them the way to do it.
    Everyone of your employees were cirtiuos and helpful.

  • 5 Paul Johnson 5th Dec 2022

    Excellent and professional from start to finish.

    The only downside John Fairest building at Wadsley Bridge, which inside could do with a bit of modernisation inside, eg new carpets and wallpaper.

    Apart from that highly recommended .
