Andrea Head 7th May 2026

Loosing our mom was so very distressing, but Chris and all of the rest of the team at Farmer and Sons were so attentative and understanding and helped us through the whole process one step at a time. We didn't feel rushed, and they listened to what we wanted and what was important to us. Communication throughout, face-to-face, phone and email was great and we were encouraged to ask as many questions as we needed. On the day of the funeral the attention to detail, communication, help and understanding was everything we needed and more. Thank you to everyone at Farmer and Sons.

I would highly recommend Farmers and Sons. Chris was amazing, giving advice not just related to funerals. It shows she really cares, and all the team were professional and helpful throughout.

Alan Green 26th Apr 2026

Very professional and courteous throughout the entire service. Attention to detail is very impressive. Our contact was Stu, who looked after us extremely well throughout the whole process. I would have no problem in recommending Farmer and Sons to look after you during your sad loss.

  • 5 Philip Lander 14th Mar 2026

  • 5 Paul Wassell 9th Mar 2026

    This is the second time that we have used Farmer & Son. On both occasions we have been extremely happy with the service we received. Everyone was so friendly towards us and made a sad occasion easier to bear. The celebrant, Deb Brace was absolutely wonderful, and made us feel as though she personally knew our loved ones. Everything from start to finish was very professionally handled.

  • 5 Robert Gibbons 23rd Feb 2026

    This is the third occasion I have required the services of a Funeral Director. First for my mother in 1989, then my father in 2017 and most recently my dear wife. On each occasion Farmer and Son have offered an exemplary service, taking time to speak to the family to ensure our needs were met, and ensuring the funeral was conducted in a professional; respectful and dignified manner. I cannot recommend Farmer and Son highly enough.
