Everything went extremely well and not rushed at all. Could not have been done better

Sonia Grazier 22nd Jul 2022

On one of the hottest days ever and with road works very near to the house the funeral directors were still able to remain smart, professional but friendly. From the start of the process we were talked through what would be happening, what we would need to do and decisions that needed to be made about the service itself.

    The team that came out to us at time of death were very respectful and kind. Tony and Chris were amazing, couldn’t do enough for us.
    Would have liked more direction once we were out of the crem to create the ‘line’ because half of the mourners had never been to an English funeral.  We would definitely recommend Tony and the team. Thank you

    The team at Farmer and Son were excellent from the day my father passed away to the funeral day itself. Nothing was too much trouble. On booking the funeral with Chris initially we were advised and helped with all aspects. Kevin looked after our dad impeccably and on the day of the funeral Tony and all of the men made my fathers send off a wonderful respectful day.
