Excellent, efficient service. The staff are very compassionate and understanding and liaise well with the bereaved and the chosen place of service and celebrant. I honestly don't believe the funeral directors could have done any better. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Thank you so much. Enzo and Benito De Rosa

Andrew O'Leary 13th May 2025

Short version: Exceptional service from first contact to final goodbye Long version: The service was so good, it was sometimes hard to remember that Jacksons Family Funeral had other customers. When we had questions / concerns / requests, our phone calls were always answered, and we truly felt like we were #1 in their priorities. Our requirements and requests were rather demanding, but Sarah and the staff delivered them all and with a smile on their face. If Mum hadn't been the one in the casket, she would have felt like she was being treated like royalty. Thank you Sarah, Claire and staff for making both the Wake and the Funeral go off without a hitch.

I can’t thank Jackson’s enough. They provided a very friendly and gentle service to me and my family that made the horrible process of putting my mum to rest much easier. Thank you. Jonathan Booth-Thomas

  • 5 Andrew Hiscock 2nd May 2025

    Obviously, the times when one needs the services of a funeral director are among the most difficult in life. However, I can wholeheartedly say that Jacksons made the experience of saying farewell to my father as manageable and comforting as we could have hoped, for my mother, my sister, myself and our families. Sarah was outstanding in guiding us through the process. Her approach was respectful yet warm, gently countering our expectations of a sombre and overly formal experience. She instinctively understood the tone we were looking for, never pushed us towards adding additional services and, after listening to us describe the type of service we were looking for, introduced us to a wonderful Reverend who struck exactly the right balance for our needs. While choosing a funeral director is never something one looks forward to, though it is inevitably part of life, I can sincerely recommend Jacksons.

  • 5 Karen Thompson 24th Feb 2025

    From the moment we met Sarah we were confident that we were making the right choice of funeral director, she listened intentively to our requirements and delivered us an experience far beyond what we had hoped for. Sarah and her team were truly approachable, empathetic and professional, guiding us through the process and delivering the simple but beautiful, intimate burial that Mum requested. At a time when things were very raw and complicated, Sarah was just so understanding and accommodating. First class service all the way, I would have no hesitation in recommending Jackson Family Funeral Directors.


  • 5 Rose Shepherd 19th Feb 2025

    Jacksons provided a funeral for my husband Peter Shepherd on Wednesday 12th
    February. Throughout the company were respectful an adhered to our wishes and the funeral service had the right amount of dignity, respect love and humour.

  • 5 Diana Whyman 18th Feb 2025

    I decided to use Jackson’s Worcester following a recommendation from a friend who used Jackson’s Malvern.  I found Sarah and her associates to be efficient and helpful throughout the process.  
    On the day of the funeral Sarah guided us which was very much appreciated - they were impeccable turned out which my mum would have been pleased about.   Thank you.

  • 5 Juliet Anderson 18th Feb 2025

    I dealt with Sarah. My mum was on end of life for a while before Christmas so I tentatively approached Jackson funeral service to ask a few questions. They were so compassionate whilst pointing me in the right direction. I wanted an intimate service and was helped to find the perfect venue and the service was perfect.I felt comfortable at all times and nothing was too much trouble even though mum died  during the Christmas holidays.

  • 5 Sarah Preece 21st Nov 2024

    Jackson Family Funeral Directors were a perfect choice for us. Guiding us in such a sad time. We literally didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you

  • 5 Maxine Oakes 24th Oct 2024

    Excellent, they collected mom straight away for me as I was so upset she was in her bedroom, they treated me with respect and kindness and did everything I wanted for mom, the service was just as I wanted it, I would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Simon Bridges 24th Oct 2024

    Excellent, could not be more satisfied with the service provided. Jackson’s made a difficult day a most memorable one. My father would have been delighted. Thoroughly recommend.

  • 5 Steven Charlton 4th Sep 2024

  • 5 Linda Bingley 2nd Sep 2024

    From the bottom of mine and Charlie's heart we would like to say a huge thank you to Sarah and her team at Jacksons for everything they did to help the process and planning of Mark's funeral. He sadly passed away in Bournemouth and arranged for him to be back in Worcester as soon as it was convenient.
    We asked for a bespoke colour of his coffin (Everton Bluea), the colour matched perfectly and looked outstanding.
    The day of the funeral over 50 scooters joined thr procession to the Crematorium which Sarah orchestrated perfectly. Sarah and her team were exemplary.
    This is the second time we have worked with Jacksons after organising my mums funeral in 2021. Would highly recommend Jacksons always 1st class service.

  • 5 Valerie Morton 23rd Jul 2024

    From start to finish the Jacksons funeral were exemplary. I honestly can not praise them enough. Having been through this before , with my mother,I had an idea what to expect ,however Jacksons were above ,and beyond my expectations. They are friendly, caring ,and meticulous with detail. 
    I felt like I knew them all , and this made the day special. 
    I was happy with the cost , the flowers,and even the program of service. 
    Although it was a sad occasion their expertise ,and ability to read the situation was second to none . 
    I would ,and will recommend Jacksons in the future.
    Thankyou x

  • 5 Charles Richards 30th May 2024

    We were recommended to Sarah at Jacksons in Worcester as we really didn't know who to talk to or what to do. Sarah was very friendly, professional and approachable and very empathetic with our needs. We soon sorted out a plan with Sarah and agreed the basic structure of the funeral. Sarah also recommended an excellent celebrant who we met with and put together both the funeral and the celebration of life event for our Mum. We ended up having a really close and personal family service at the crematorium followed by an excellent send off for her at Stanbrook Abbey. None of this would have been possible without Sarah carefully guiding us through the process - highly recommend!

  • 5 Graham Stevens 28th May 2024

  • 5 Corrine Jones 16th May 2024
