Paul, Ashley and Sam made the process run smoothly. They are professional, considerate and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The celebrant that Paul suggested, Duncan Hansford, was amazing too. Thank you all for giving Val Webb the perfect send off

Terry, Paul and Ashley couldn’t have been more respectful and supportive at such a difficult time. They made sure we understood and were comfortable with each step along a journey we had not travelled before. We can thoroughly recommend their services - you will be safe in their care.

I cannot highly praise or thank Ashley, Paul or Sam enough for their exceptional support during such a difficult time. They made the emotional and stressful process of losing a love one as gentle as imaginable, treating us with total respect and compassion. No matter when I needed a question answering or sought reassurance, they were always there for me. They are true experts and absolute professionals.

5 Gareth Williams 31st May 2026

5 Emma McIntosh 21st Apr 2026

We (my three siblings and I) would highly recommend A.P.McDonald. From the moment we contacted them on the day of our fathers passing right through to the funeral both Paul and Ashley were empathetic, professional and efficient.
The whole experience of arranging the funeral within the three weeks so that family members could be at the funeral and not away travelling was seamless and without a hitch. They recommended a celebrant whom they felt would be appropriate to lead the service based on our fathers farming, rural life and she was amazing.
All those who attended the service agreed that it was a lovely service.

5 Kim Surman 14th Apr 2026

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Paul and his team during a stressful and challenging time for our family. From the moment we engaged with Paul, his empathy shone through, making us feel supported every step of the way; Nothing was too much trouble for him and his team. 

Paul went above and beyond, not only in bringing Ken back from GWH but also in offering invaluable advice on how to navigate our grief. He truly felt like part of the family, and it was clear that Ken was in compassionate hands at the funeral home.

Many attendees remarked that it was one of the best funerals they had ever attended, and I believe that Paul's dedication and attention to detail were key in creating such a respectful and caring atmosphere for celebrating Ken's life.

Thank you once again, Paul, for your kindness and unwavering support. We are deeply appreciative of everything you did for us during this difficult time.

5 Rosie Golding 23rd Mar 2026

Paul has provided compassion and support in the most appropriate manner since we first contacted the company after the death of my husband.
Paul and the entire family firm are a pleasure to deal with….. experienced diplomatic and very forward thinking.
We elected to have a committal at the crem immediately  followed by a memorial service at our village church.
The whole sequence of events ran like clockwork with Paul supporting both events.
Paul not only advised us well and kept us updated but he was really supportive to both of my children and myself.
I can only say the day we chose this funeral director was definitely our lucky day.
