At a time when you need help, advice,guidance and compassion, Murray's stepped up!! They will let you do as much or as little as you can do, you have to obviously work with them but if they see or can tell that you're struggling, they are there for you with help, compassion and understanding. I cannot fault any of the staff who helped me during a sometimes impossible period.

Well there are enough words for this funeral Services from the first point of call they put you at ease, very informative and the empathy is 5* The whole team are amazing nothing too small and communication is impeccable.  Can not recommend this  highly enough but certainly would totally recommend.  Personally I was in another country and all sorted thoroughly before arrived from letters to travel and in this day and age Covid tests the team went above and.

    On the two occasions that I have used Murray's services, I have found them to be very compassionate and caring. A great family run business.

  • 5 Martyn Barlow 8th Mar 2021

    From first contact Murrays funeral team have been fantastic. All correspondence with any of the team has been first class, professional and warm. I felt as though they all were doing everything for someone they knew and loved rather than just another service. Thank you so much from us all.

  • 5 Susan Boyes 7th Mar 2021

    Excellent, nothing was ever too much trouble. Danny was my main contact. Explained everything in a nice manor. Understood such a difficult time this is. Could not have been more helpful. The actual funeral went smoothly. Fantastic staff. Thank you.

  • 5 Catherine Jimenez 4th Mar 2021

    Joan and the whole team could not have looked after us any better. We are so pleased we chose Murray’s for what was a very difficult and sad occasion.

  • 5 Anthony Mewis 1st Mar 2021

    A very professional, helpful and caring service with excellent contact throughout, what was for me, a very difficult time. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, or too trivial to mention

  • 5 Rebecca Lee 1st Mar 2021

    Very organised, sensitive, and welcoming.    Thank you for leading us through a difficult time.

  • 5 Mandy Bestall 28th Feb 2021

    Murray’s Independent Funeral Directors are so professional while still maintaining compassion  and understanding for your needs. They went above and beyond to support my family in what is a very difficult time. I am completely confident in highly recommending them. 

  • 5 Elizabeth McHale 19th Feb 2021

    Murray’s was highly recommend, and I now understand why. 
    Megan, Barrie and everyone I came into contact with, were helpful and pleasant. 
    They eased a difficult time.
    Many thanks, Elizabeth and John.

  • 5 Christopher Williams 18th Feb 2021

    Everybody with whom I had contact were very helpful and remained sensitive throughout. Nothing was to much trouble and our requirements were accommodated without any fuss or bother. On the day the services at the church and the crematorium were supervised discreetly and with tact. Not the easiest thing to achieve under the restrictions of the Covid regulations.

  • 5 Paul Aucote 15th Feb 2021

    I would just like to thank Joan and the team at Murrays for all your help and kindness and understanding in arranging the funeral for my late wife Viola . Nothing was to much trouble and it was a very professional service and i would highly recommend
    Many thank Paul and the family

  • 5 Mick Haynes 14th Feb 2021

    The whole process from the initial contact to the service on the day, including the after care service was faultless.
    We were cared for and guided through the organising and planning of the service. Nothing seemed too much trouble, Joan and Megan kept in touch and communicated regularly to make sure verything was perfect on the day of the funeral. On the day, Barry guided us all the way through and made it bearable on a very, very emotional day.
    The service itself was absolutely perfect and was a fantastic way to honour our beloved Father. Although never nice thing to have to plan, but Murrays made the process a whole lot easier than we could ever have imagined.
    Thank you all at Murrays.

  • 5 Jane Bembridge 13th Feb 2021

    I cannot thank the Murray's team enough for their care, sensitivity and professionalism in dealing with Mum's funeral. We were guided every step of the way and treated with the most upmost respect throughout.

  • 5 Rose Smith 13th Feb 2021

    An exceptionally busy team led by Sue Barke organised our Mum’s funeral recently. Inevitably arrangements were made using Zoom, phone and email, but in spite of this it felt like a very personal service. Sue seemed to be on hand 24/7, and had a kind, empathetic approach, but was also very practical. I would definitely recommend this company. 

  • 5 Jane Welsh 12th Feb 2021

    A very compassionate team that work together effectively to make planning a funeral the best experience it can be. Every communication is handled with empathy. Nothing is too much trouble and great attention is given to detail. At a time when tensions amongst family can be running high Danny handles situations with skill and understanding. On the day of the funeral I was extremely pleased to see the coffin being carried by coffin bearers rather than it being wheeled in on an industrial looking trolley.

  • 5 Steve Campbell 10th Feb 2021

    A very caring & considerate approach which made us as a family feel real comfortable. Not pressured or rushed to commit to anything & regularly updated regarding the state of play.

  • 5 Carol Watson 8th Feb 2021

    We were very happy with the service we received from Murray's.We mainly dealt with Becky who was Very professional and helpful and she guided us through each step of mums funeral.We would certainly recommend Murray's funeral directors

  • 5 Deborah Corns 8th Feb 2021

    I couldn’t have asked for a more caring professional service from Murray’s who took care of everything regarding Chris’s funeral. Just what we needed on a sad day for our family thank you so much guys.

  • 5 Colin Rose 6th Feb 2021
