Mum had prepaid her funeral and Murray's were the nominated funeral directors, how lucky we were! Murray's are everything you could expect and more at your time of need. All the staff that I spoke to were sympathetic, understanding and extremely helpful during this very sad time and nothing was too much trouble. Barry was the first contact I had with Murray's and he explained everything with dignity, right from looking after mum to the funeral itself. Angie then became the main contact and organised absolutely everything and did so sympathetically, professionally and with dignity. Everything that we requested was carried out to our wishes and on the day of the funeral Barry looked after us all. He was impeccable and dignified during this very emotional time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Murray's to anyone.

  • 5 Keith Mason 23rd Jan 2017

    I cannot praise Murray's Funeral Directors enough. Their customer service is exceptional. From the first telephone call I had to make following my mums death to being dropped off at the funeral wake, the whole experience was one of first class service from a company that really do care about its customers and go that extra mile! I was extremely well looked after by Tim Parry who I cannot thank enough for all his sympathy, understanding and hard work that made mums funeral a successful and memorable occasion. I shall have no hesitation in recommending Murray's Funeral Directors to anyone I know.  Many thanks to all the team.   Keith Mason.

    A wonderful professional and caring company. Made a very sad time in my life bearable. Each & everyone of them showed great compassion & looked after my husband whilst he was in their care with dignity & love. Words cannot easily express my gratitude to them. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

    My brother and I were very pleased with the service we recieved from Murrays. Becky put us at ease when we first came in and explained everything in a simple and thoughtful way. All our wishes were accommodated. Reverend Goacher conducted the service to a very high standard and all the guests commented on the excellent service. Phillip choreographed the day perfectly and was very reliable and professional . It was a fantastic and dignified send off all the family were very pleased with .

    I would definitely recommend Murrays for a more personal and caring touch.

  • 5 Sheila Chaudhry 24th Oct 2016

    The service and advice I received from Murray's was exemplary. Their kindness and understanding relieved me and my family from having to 'what do we do next'. Murray's did all of that for us, leaving us to grieve for my mother without worrying if we had forgotten to do anything.

  • 5 Ian Caswell 4th Oct 2016

    Murrays have given us a very professional service combined with thought and care which goes beyond that of people just completing a job.
    When you require a funeral service, it is at a time of great stress, and grief, Murrays ease the stress and grief helping you to do the very best you can for your loved ones.
    I have no hesitation in recommending Murrays Funeral Service to anyone.
