Totally professional company, my main contact was Eric, everything went smoothly and nothing left to chance, definitely recommend, many thanks to all the team. It was very important for my family to ensure that we did the best for my wife of 54yrs, with you help this was achieved.

We can't rate the Garton team highly enough, we would give 6 Stars if we could. Eric was so helpful and knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. His experience of all aspects of the process from dealing with the NHS, Registration, the Council, Church etc was fantastic. We crossed many unexpected hurdles which would have been so difficult if Eric hadn't been there helping and guiding us. We were also encouraged to make our mum's funeral as personal as we wanted - we decorated the casket, mum had a warm throw inside the casket and a comfy blanket to lay on, and Garton's did her hair and make-up. They also 'facilitated' everyone on the day so we didn't have to worry about who did what. It really helped with the grieving process to think we did everything to make this personal for our mum. The Garton team are experienced, respectful, and very, very empathetic. Truly the best and we are so thankful for their support.

M. Garton & Son have always had a great reputation in our area and my family was confident that they would provide a first class service for us. They didn’t disappoint, and went the extra mile to ensure that our late father, Johnny Whiteley MBE had a wonderful and fitting send-off at the MKM Stadium and then the Crematorium. They had to work with many different organisations including Hull FC and the City Council, and handled everything with great efficiency and patience. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they ensured we were informed and updated every step of the way. Thanks particularly to Lee, who was our main port of call at Gartons.

We lost our mum recently and as you can imagine this was an extremely sad and difficult time for us. Our mum had already paid and planned for her funeral as was her wish, so a lot of the decision making had already been completed. Even so there was still a lot to organise and decide. I can honestly say that the team at Garton's were extremely kind, and guided us through all the stages of the process. We couldn't have managed without their help and support. I know it is a cliche but they treated our mum with care and dignity from the very start which was extremely comforting.
At times like this you need people to take control and organise things which they did with such care and attention to detail. Not only were they helpful but they also listened to us and treated us all with such grace and care. On behalf of our Mum and ourselves we would like to give you all a really big Thankyou for what you did for us all.

Our family have used Garton’s for decades and feel that they are second to none, showing the height of professionalism and compassion at all times.
From our first contact with them they took away the burden of making arrangements, kept in constant contact and dealt with every aspect of their job with kindness and respect.
Lee was our main contact but whoever we spoke to knew what was going on and was able to help with any queries. Lee had all the information needed to make our decisions easier during the funeral arrangement process and again he was compassionate and respectful with just the right amount of humour to lift our spirits. We can’t fault their service, nothing was too much trouble and as a family we are so grateful for everything they did, at a time when it meant so much. Thank you.

M Garton & Sons
Thank you for your care, compassion and professionalism. In what is an emotional time support and guidance is crucial, my family and I appreciated the comfort you gave us. Knowing that the funeral was carried out with care, pride and dignity was befitting our last goodbye.
K Willerton.

Garton & Son Hessle Road, showed respect and professionalism throughout. Everything went smoothly, I really felt like I could relax and trust them entirely. Lee helped me through the entire process of the loss of my Dad, and most importantly celebrating my Dad’s life with joy and dignity. They even made regular phone calls to check how I was doing. They really helped me get through this difficult time. I had so many friends and family say what a lovely service it was and it gave me great comfort at such an emotional time. This is clearly why families go back to Garton’s, you really can trust and depend upon them to be both professional and compassionate. Thank you.

I recently lost my father to pneumonia, which was the first time I have lost a parent or sibling. Not knowing what to do or what was expected of me I approached M Garton & Son. They immediately put me at ease and sympathetically took me through the whole procedure. I can't recommend them enough for the kind and considerate way they handled the whole process. Thank you from the whole family.

Very caring people from start to finish could not fault your service
5 Lesley Thomas 18th Feb 2022
The company went above and beyond to take care of Daniel from the very beginning. They dealt with his family making the arrangements with much care and consideration and were always available to guide and advise at any time. Fraser was amazing and every member of staff we dealt with were efficient and kind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. At such a dark time in my life they made things a little easier.

At this very difficult time they were very understanding and were very professional
5 Sally-Ann Shepherdson 31st Jan 2022
My family have used Garton's for several generations and the recent death of my father was my first experience of organising a funeral. Thankfully, we had taken advantage of a pre-paid plan through M. Garton and Sons a few years ago, so most of the main decisions had already been made and the whole process was dealt with efficiently and in the most caring and professional manner. I would highly recommend Lee at the Hessle Rd branch, who couldn't have been more kind and helpful. I am so pleased to be able to recommend an excellent local family business.
5 Pamela Conway 29th Jan 2022

recommend them to anyone at this very difficult time.
5 Lynda Woodger 26th Jan 2022
Very understanding, caring and professionally carried out. Would certainly recommend.
5 Andrea Walsh 19th Jan 2022
I cannot recommend Garton and Sons highly enough. I had no idea how to organise a funeral and was quite distressed (not least because I live miles away from where the funeral was to be held). Lee was truly helpful and compassionate. He literally guided me step by step through each task. The resulting funeral was a beautiful reflection of the life that was. Thank you Lee and Garton and sons for the service you offer. You helped me and my family allow ourselves to grieve.
5 Ian Commander 14th Jan 2022
Can I just thank Garton & Sons Funeral Directors for the professionalism of their staff in dealing with my dear Mother's funeral.
Special thanks must go to Lee for his understanding and help in organising the arrangements we specified and his thoughtful suggestions gave us a lasting heartfelt memory.
We would recommend Gartons with out hesitation.
5 Rupert Wilks 11th Jan 2022
Lee and his colleagues provided great service throughout all stages of the funeral process, providing support and guidance during planning and professional conduct on the day.

Very professional and very accommodating.
5 Mark Harrison 23rd Nov 2021
Everything we asked for wasn't any trouble, we were kept informed all the way through the process and even the little things that we didn't think about were delt with.
I know, if you like, it's their job but they do it so well .
We have used M Garton & son before and will use them again when needed (not too soon though hopefully)
The staff are faultless and so friendly, you can feel as though they are part of the family and grieving with you.
5 Caroline Dykes 23rd Nov 2021
