    Can’t express in words how wonderful Jennifer Ashe & Sons are, all the staff are excellent and their service is exceptional. 
    Unfortunately had to use their services more than once and every time they have been amazing.

  • 5 Jeannette Shaw 24th Aug 2026

    There are really no words complimentary enough to describe the service we received from Jennifer Ashe & Son. If there is such a thing as a perfect funeral then that is how I would describe my Father's final journey. My Father was an ex Grenadier Guard and they certainly went above and beyond with the arrangements, from him entering the crematorium, to his eulogy and arranging a bugler to play the last post, a fitting goodbye for a true gentleman. From the moment they took my Father into their care to his last goodbye the service they provided was outstanding. A huge thank you to Richard, Joe, Rachel and all of the fantastic staff, you did my Father very proud. For a truly personal touch, professional yet caring service I would 100% recommend Jennifer Ashe & Son.

  • 5 Gemma Hodson 30th Jun 2026

    Jennifer Ashe Funeral Directors were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. During one of the most difficult times of our lives, they showed nothing but kindness, compassion, and professionalism, making the entire process so much easier for our family.
    On the day of the funeral, everything was handled flawlessly. The limousine drivers and all of the pallbearers were exceptional—they couldn't do enough for us and treated every member of our family with genuine care and respect. Their attention to detail and willingness to help meant so much.
    A special thank you goes to Rachel and Jason, who went above and beyond to support us throughout. Their empathy, understanding, and dedication made an incredibly difficult day that little bit easier to bear, and we will always be grateful.
    I cannot recommend Jennifer Ashe Funeral Directors highly enough. The level of care and service they provide is truly exceptional, and everyone involved should be incredibly proud of the comfort and dignity they bring to families when they need it most. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

  • 5 Abbie Charlton 14th May 2026

    Jennifer Ashe took over as funeral director during an extremely stressful period for me and my family, the team immediately eased so much of the pressure and made me feel completely looked after. Rachel & Jimmys and the teams kindness, reassurance, and professionalism brought a sense of calm at a time when we needed it most.

    The support given to both myself and my brother is something we will never forget. The team made an incredibly traumatic time feel manageable and consistently went above and beyond for us in so many ways.

    Most importantly, you restored the dignity and care that I had felt had been lost for a short while elsewhere, and that meant more to us than words can truly express.

    Thank you again for delivering such a beautiful service with compassion, respect, and exceptional professionalism.

    I couldn’t praise everyone at Jennifer Ashe highly enough. Rachel was wonderful and available to respond out of hours which was unbelievable. It really took the stress out of a difficult time. Everything was arranged in one place including the flowers and donations which could be made online via a tribute page. All the staff were very respectful and professional and Dad’s funeral went beautifully. I would definitely recommend this company.
