The care,compassion and professionalism of all of the people we dealt with was second to none. They made what was a emotional process alot more bearable and helped us give the send off my dad deserved. I have nothing but praise and thanks for all involved at the funeral home and in particular Allison, Claire, Linda and Marie who really took care of us.

  • 5 Lisa Harrison 19th Dec 2023

    Chester Road Funeral Care-CO-OP.
    I can’t thank Linda and Marie enough. They have been a constant source of comfort throughout our recent bereavement. They explained everything carefully and were always at the end of the telephone. They treated mam with such dignity and respect throughout her time at Chester Road Funeral care. They looked after us when we visited, coffee and shortbread included, especially as we sat with Mam all day up until her funeral. Linda was professional yet very empathetic while conducting the funeral. These ladies are a credit to this business and I can’t recommend them any more highly. It takes a special kind of person to guide and support people throughout the bereavement process and Linda and Marie have this very special and unique skill.
