Excellent! Handled everything in a caring and professional way.
I am grateful for the advice and gentle reminders Lee gave to help me process the official paperwork which was essential for the cremation to take place.
Thanks for the suggestion to use Helen as the celebrant - she too was excellent
The day itself ran smoothly - everything taken care of in a dignified and unobtrusive manner

When you loose someone who means the absolute world to you, M Garton & Son Ltd are a company who from the very beginning takes your loved one into their
care and helps their final journey be with respect, peace and dignity.
I cannot praise them highly enough.

Can not thank every member of Gartons enough for their true professionalism in dealing with the death of our mum, every phone call and question was dealt with with the utmost respect and every little detail of our requests on the day of the funeral had clearly been listened to and followed through to the last detail , it was a sad occasion but made slightly easier by how compassionate and respectful every member of staff we dealt with was with us , thankyou so much

M Garton & Sons were really helpful with sorting our dads funeral, especially Lee for whom nothing was too much trouble.
The service taken by Rachel Mellors and the way it was handled from start to finish was first class and we thank them for their professionalism and support during a really difficult time for our family.
Highly recommended

Eric and his team at Gartons were absolutely amazing they made such a heartbreaking time so much easier. Eric went above and beyond to help us and was with us every step of the way. A totally amazing team of true gentlemen. I honestly can not thank them enough for all the help and guidance I received. Thank you all again for all your help, a truly professional team who excel themselves.

Our mum met with Eric from M Garton and Son a few years ago when first deciding on a funeral plan. Although thankfully this was not needed for some time after the service we received matched and exceeded not only the family’s expectations but we know it was carried out exactly as she had wished. Good service from Lee, Eric and all the team that we met throughput.
5 Carol Holmes 16th Jul 2021
I was very impressed with the service we received from Gartons. My Aunt had taken out a funeral plan (which I strongly recommend), and from my first phone call to them when she died, I knew that Eric and his colleagues would look after us all very efficently.
His advice and support was very welcome.

From start to finish Lee and everyone else at M Garton & Son Funeral Directors have been helpful and compassionate and nothing along the way was too much trouble for them. They dealt with everything in an dignified, professional manor and kept us informed and explained everything that was happening along the way.
5 Melanie Howland 10th Jul 2021
I cannot recommend Garton’s enough. My Dad was a very dignified gentleman and he was treat with the dignity he deserved whilst in their care. I was able to visit my Dad whenever I wanted and nothing was too much trouble, I was even able to spend time with him on the morning of his funeral. Lee predominately looked after my Dad, along with Eric and Fraser and I was deeply comforted by the service they provided to both my Dad and myself at what is a very sad, difficult time.
5 Claire Blakeley 29th Jun 2021
The funeral directors who looked after my Dad from his death to the funeral were wonderful. They really took care of us as a family and were compassionate, supportive and helpful. Their professionalism and support helped us through a difficult time and we couldn’t be more grateful.

In the difficult circumstances following a family bereavement I feel that we were lucky to have experienced the considerate and quietly competent service of M Garton & Son.
From the first call after my father’s death that saw his body collected with respect and dignity on a Sunday evening to the drive back home after his funeral I felt supported by Lee and all of his colleagues that I dealt with. I was never made to feel that any of our questions were stupid ones, though they must hear them many times a day, and was reassured throughout what could have been a far more difficult process.
Our wishes were carefully identified and followed, and the minister recommended by Lee to perform the funeral service was a perfect fit for our family.
I can’t thank them enough for what they did for us, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone going through the same experience.
An excellent service from start to finish.

The care we received from Garton's was excellent. So genuine, kind and caring, nothing was too much and a great support at such a sad time from Eric and the team. Thankyou Garton's . Would highly recommend.
5 Rebekah Jessop 1st Jun 2021
The service was very helpful, caring and very professional, all our needs were accommodated, Lee made us feel at ease and helped us through the difficult time of the funeral, he ensured everything was at our pace and not rushed, and he was very helpful ensuring everything was done and that we had flowers, music of our choice and others too. Gartons have always been helpful within our family and we have always gone to them when the sad time comes that we need their help
5 Penny Opray 21st May 2021
The service from all the staff at Garton & Sons was so professional and respectful. Great communication via meetings, phone calls and emails which made this sad time stress free which was appreciated! Genuine and caring staff made us feel comfortable throughout and all requests made were listened to and carried out. The staff were not only very professional but also helped on a personal experience of feelings and put myself at ease at such a difficult time (Thanks Frazier!) They provided us with the order service which was communicated promptly and the outcome was great. Thanks to Lee and the team for your service and kind words (yet again)
As a family we would highly recommend to anyone. We would give you more than 5 stars if we could!!!!
Thanks so much.
Michelle, Penny & family

5 Antony Smith 12th May 2021
This has been the worst moment of our lives, losing our father so sudden. During the grieving process we were slightly worried on how we were going to organise the funeral & at the time it’s the last thing on your mind, however...we needn’t have worried Lee & the team were absolutely fantastic, they took all that worry away & did everything for us, very impressed as we are hard to please! Thank you Garton & Sons for helping us to get through this very difficult time. Antony, Christopher & both our families.
5 Trudie Hilliard 2nd May 2021
Sadly our family lost a very dear loved one 3 Weeks ago but we knew that as a family we wanted the only the best for our loved one so that's why we choose Garton's. After speaking to Eric I knew that my dad was in safe hands and with Eric's guidance dad's last journey was done with dignity and respect. We as a family could not thank Eric and all at Garton's enough for all they did for us but mainly for dad.
