Pettett Lucy 28th Apr 2026

This firm was so professional kind and caring at a time when you need support and help  The team was on hand at all times  Thank you Mandy and the team 

Lisa Sweeney 20th Apr 2026

From the very first moment I was met with nothing but compassion understanding and genuine care. Every single person I dealt with treated my late father and me with such dignity, patients, and kindness, and no request was ever too much. What meant more to me than I can possibly ever Express was being allowed to spend time with my dad's every day. For nearly five weeks I was given the space and time to sit with him for up to two hours a day, never once making me feel rushed or like I wasn't inconvenience. That gift alone has bought me immense comfort and peace, and I will be forever grateful. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely supported – not just professionally but personally. I was treated like a human being going through the hardest moment of my life, not just another client. The empathy compassion and quiet reassurance made an unbearable time just that little bit easier. I cannot thank Susan Mandy Jack Kathy and the rest of the team for the love respect and care they showed my father and me. I will be forever in debted to them for the amazing final journey they helped prepare for my father and without hesitation I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone sadly needing a funeral director as they truly do care

    Dear Lisa, thank you so much for your kind words. I am so very pleased that everything was just as you wanted. What we did is what we are here for and why we are all dedicated to this role but, as you see, it goes much deeper than that at times. It have been our privilege to look after you and your dearest dad. Susan
  • 5 Catherine Tyte 17th Apr 2026

    During the whole process of organising Dad's funeral the staff at Susan Whymark were all so calm, compassionate and professional which helped us all during a difficult time. They understood our wishes and helped make sure that the whole day went exactly as we hoped it would. Especially the organisation with the tractor drivers who were part of the funeral cortege. Special thanks to Mandy who managed to get a road open especially for Dad and lead the procession, Ian for organising parking for the family and Cathy for sorting out all other arrangements. We are all extremely grateful.

    Cathy Cunningham-Elliott replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this review Catherine, and for your very kind words. We are always privileged to be of support at such a difficult time, and glad we were able to provide the farewell for your Dad that you wanted. We will pass on your thanks to Ian also. Kind regards
