Paul and Ashley were always at the end of the phone or email, very attentive, thought of the things we had forgotten or not considered, but also open to our suggestions and wishes. I hope I will not be in this position again, but if I am, they will be the funeral directors I go to.

We would like to give generous thanks to A.P McDonald Funeral services for their kindness, support and professionalism during a very difficult time after losing our Dad.
Paul and Andy went above and beyond to help make the service run as smoothly as possible, especially as it was during the lockdown.
They are a family run business which made it feel personal and they were always available to talk and offer advice.
They made us feel like part of the family. We wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend them.

Paul and Ashley supported us as a family with the upmost respect and professionalism. They took care of our brother like he was one of their own family members, they went above and beyond and I would recommend them to anyone.
5Lisa Abrahams26th May 2019
Having spoke to several funeral directors I knew A P McDonald was for us. From the moment I started talking to them they made me feel at ease and that they were there for us as a family and not just going through the motions of a business. On the day everything was explained to dad, my brother and myself and time was given at the end of the service for some quiet time with mum and her close family whilst the rest of the visitors awaited outside. I can't thank them enough for the support in which they have given to my dad and myself through this tough time. Even at the end of the service we had a chat and they still offered their support if ever we needed it or if I was concerned for dad they would chat with him. I really can't thank them enough for helping us through such an horrendous time of our life.
