Never the best of things to have to deal with. Plus my Dad's death was very sudden & not expected. Murray's was so helpful & just felt they went the extra mile in caring for all the family as well. Made the funeral abit easier for us all to deal with. They have been very helpful & supportive since the funeral as well. I would highly recommend Murray's funeral directors.

Barry and the rest of the staff, supported and guided myself and my 3 sons through ever step leading to my husbands funeral. They made us feel unique, had time to listen. Would recommend this funeral director to anyone Canner Family

Murray's show love, care, understanding and empathy with a huge willingness to help in the most saddest of times. Visiting a loved one after their death can be such a daunting experience, but they have a lovely room where you do not see your loved one in a coffin but as though they are sleeping in a bed with covers over it is simply the most amazing thing to do which, makes it easier to see your them that way. Sue and all her Staff are unbelievably sincere and utterly amazing thank you so much Sue for your attention to detail, kindness and most importantly for us, looking after both my Mum in 2011 and now my Dad in 2018. Only the best will do and we certainly got that in abundance with Murray's xxxx

    Very professional.

  • 5 Gina Das 16th Sep 2018

    I was immensely grateful to Sue and her team for making Nishi's funeral a wonderful tribute to the great man he was. Sue is very compassionate and professional in my opinion. She took a lot of time ensuring that my family and I were cared for at this difficult, emotional time.
    I will never have a problem recommending her funeral directors to any of my family and friends.
    Many thanks,
    Gina Das

    Hi,
    I just wanted to say a very big thank you to all at Murray's and especially Danny our main contact for guiding us through all that was needed to arrange our father's funeral. The whole team could not have been more supportive and helped to ensure our father's funeral day was as best it could be given the occasion.

    There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how truly excellent Murray’s are. This is the third funeral they have carried out for us, the first two being some years ago. However, if possible, they are better than ever. Sadly, I’ve attended a lot of funerals in the last few months and I can honestly say that the ‘Murray’ funerals have been conducted far better than any other I’ve attended. From the most beautiful natural casket, to the beautiful flowers supplied by Lynne who phoned me to check what I wanted. The wonderful gentle way we were treated, by Megan and Dan. Murray’s are wonderful.

  • 5 Michael Blakeman 20th Aug 2018

    Barry and Sue at Murray's were so tactful and helpful on the most difficult day of my life

    They listened to it heart breaking and made very helpful suggestions which I listened to

    The funeral service and internment they made so easy despite my wife's and my tears

    They and Murray's could not have done more

  • 5 Fiona Roche 12th Aug 2018

    Murray’s were very professional and sympathetic So we knew that we could leave everything in Murray’s capable hands.

    Everything went completely smoothly and gave us time to concentrate on other things we needed to put in place to prepare for dads funeral. 

    Murray’s chapel of rest was a peaceful quiet environment and my father looked completely at peace in the room that was prepared for him. 

    Thank you so much to everyone involved in organising the funeral for my father and a big thank you to Megan. 

    Kind regards 
    Hilda and Fiona

  • 5 Jayne Tye 7th Aug 2018

    Murrays are excellent in every way. They also did my Mum's funeral in 2015.
    They are extremely efficient but also very sensitive and supportive.
    I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Absolutely first class service.

  • 5 Joanne McGuire 6th Aug 2018

    Sue and her team made everything so easy for us as a family at such a difficult time. You don’t realise how much needs to be done around organising everything and yet come the day everything went to plan thanks to the time, care and efforts from all at Murray’s. Thank you 

  • 5 Lisa & Rich worrall 21st Jul 2018

    Sue is the most compassionate kind and gentle yet very professional lady I've met.
    There is nothing that is too much trouble for her and her finishing touches give it that personal touch to your loved one.
    From start to finish she's with you every step of the way in organising everything.
    Her staff, cars and chapel of rest are immaculate and precisely run with ultimate professionalism and care.
    Thankyou so much sue for your excellent services and wonderful gentle care.
    Kind regards

  • 5 Brendan Dunne 18th May 2018

    Murray’s were excellent and the personal care that we got during this difficult time was amazing. Sue in particular was fantastic and she felt like part of the family. Their professionalism is 2nd to none and we can’t thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone that needs real support and guidance after a bereavement. 

  • 5 Jayne Walker 8th May 2018

    From the moment mum was taken into Murray’s care I had every confidence that everything would be treated with total profesionalism and care. They came across as such kind and considerate people and listened to everything and guided you through this very difficult process. Thank you Murray’s I would definitely recommend your services to anyone in there time of need

  • 5 Ann Marie Boyle 4th May 2018

    The service I received from Murray's Funeral Director's has been exceptional. Highly professional and courteous as well as caring and thoughtful, offering sound advice and guidance at a difficult time. Entirely reliable, and going the extra mile. I was arranging a funeral at a distance, and Sue's local knowledge was superb, and she also communicated very well at each stage. On the day of the funeral myself and my family felt looked after and cared for every step of the way. Thank you Murrays, you brought your calm professionalism and caring support during a difficult time.  

  • 5 Susan Hemstock 1st May 2018

    Murrays gave a very caring and professional service. I would highly recommend them.

  • 4 Jill Turner 1st May 2018

    Would have been excellent but we felt the entry in the Burton Mail could have been 2 days earlier to give everyone a week's notice of the funeral.

  • 4 Malcolm James 30th Apr 2018

    Murrays' offer a very well-organised, kind, compassionate and professional service. They provided me with a lot of helpful advice about the Order of Service for my late mother's funeral, as well as offering general support during what has proven to be a most difficult time.

  • 5 Margaret Mansfield 30th Apr 2018

    Kind,thoutful , very helpful every step of the way making a very difficult time for us as a family a little better to cope with.

  • 5 Nigel Cox 29th Apr 2018

    caring and considerate, very respectful, attention to detail, nothing too much trouble for them, took all the organisation responsibility very well presented, quiet and calm funeral.
    can not recommend them enough.
    we were very pleased that we chose Murray's Independent Funeral Directors for Jennifer's funeral

  • 5 Gary Harding 24th Apr 2018

    Murray’s acted very professional from when I first contacted them until the day of the funeral. They dealt with me in a very sympathetic manner and nothing was too much for them. Surroundings at Finders we’re very nice and felt at ease. Only negative comment was dealing with numerous people rather than just one or two.

    Overall I would give 5 stars

    Many thanks
