The service we have received as a family has been second to none from Tim who organised the details of the funeral to Barry and the team on the day. We were kept up to date and informed every step of the way. This is the 2nd time we have had to use their services in less than 18 months but would not hesitate to use them again even though we hope not for a long time. Thank you for the care, courtesy and respect shown to us all at this sad time.

Thank you so much to Barry, Tim and everyone at Murray's for the impeccable manner in which you helped me to plan and then guided me through my late husband Russ's funeral. I could not have asked for more

  • 5 Samantha Dennahy 3rd Mar 2018

    My Mum, brothers and I can’t praise all the team at Murrays enough for the wonderful service they provided at such a difficult time for us.

    We mainly spoke with Sue and Danny and both were so kind and caring, explaining everything to us and guiding us through the process of organising my Fathers funeral.

    Nothing was too much trouble, and every single contact was professional and extremely helpful. We felt that my Dad was in the very best care and knew he was being treated with the utmost respect.

    There were well over 200 people at the funeral service and Murrays handled everything brilliantly, everything we asked for was carried out exactly as we’d wanted and we had so many people comment on how lovely the service was. My Dad would have been proud of the final send off we managed to give him and we could not have done it without the help and support of Murrays. 

    We can’t recommend Murrays highly enough, true professionals and lovely people at the heart of it.

    The team at Murray's helped, guided and supported us through the arrangements and the funeral itself. Most importantly, we felt cared for and knew our dad (husband) was treated with dignity and respect.

    While organising and on reflection after the funeral, our family have all agreed that we are so fortunate to have used this family run firm.

    A very special Thank You to Sue Barke for your care and attention to detail. You helped us achieve a very personal funeral service. All aspects of the business were professional and impeccable. We cannot praise or thank Murray's enough and can only highly recommend Murray's Funeral Services.

    David Barke replied
