Lee at Gartons talked me through everything and gave great advice when I was unsure. This waa the first funeral I have had to organise and they made it as lovely as it could be, even agreeing to drive by my uncles care home for the staff to pay their respects. Highly recommend them.

I dealt with lee from start to finish he was very empathetic and was so caring and took in a to account covid pandemic and guided me even in unorthodox times my dad’s funeral was direct to cremation As that’s what he wanted and even though it was simple dad was treated with care and dignity he arrived in a hearse not a van and we watched dad enter crematorium draped in welsh flag accompanied by bearers with such professionalism we was able to place single white rose which helped us as all with our grief I would highly recommend m Garton I’m looking into my own funeral arrangements now given uncertain times thankyou gentleman xx

We would like to thank Gartons for a wonderful service in what is the worst time of our lives..... We can’t praise Lee enough! He was considerate and professional throughout.... His caring, calming demeanour instantly made us feel supported and that our loved one,Paul was being taken care of and looked after to the highest standards....We decided we would like to see Paul at the funeral home and on seeing him the men and Lee were so considerate of how we were feeling and respected our privacy and on seeing Paul we felt so reassured at how at peace he looked .
Can’t praise Lee and Gartons enough would strongly recommend
Thank you

from start to finish in these horrible times Lee took over and helped where ever he could. Answering questions in his professional manner and was available night and day for us whenever we needed Gartons. from picking mum up from the hospital to her being buried she was cared for with respect and dignity and all our requests were addressed and submitted if possible.
I would gladly recommend Gartons for all your funeral requirements they go above and beyond care and help and especially in this horrible time.
kind regards Debbie and the family of the late Mrs Doreen Shimmin.

We used M Garton & Sons for the funeral of my dad Donald Simpson and found they went above and beyond what we expected. The services we were offered was done with such care and understanding to our needs and genuine respect for my dad. This was given by all members of staff from the two gentlemen who came to collect my dad from our home, who even paused at the doorway so my bedbound daughter could say her final goodbyes, to Lee, who works at the Hessle High Road office, who could not of been more professional and caring. He made me feel reassured that dad was been looked after by speaking to him, ensuring dad was dressed how he would of wanted and making my visits to dad as comforting as possible. I would especially like to mention Lee for filming the entire service when the webcast was broken, so my bedbound daughter and others who could not attend due to the current covid pandemic could still watch the service. I cannot praise their highly professional and caring services enough.

Dedicated, sensitive and immensely helpful. Gartons provide a funeral service of such grace and ceremony. The team present with dignified, sartorial elegance. They strike absolutely the right tone of respect without fawning. Yet nothing is too much trouble. I cannot praise them enough. I can only say that they made a beautiful day out of such misery. You are in safe hands.

I undertook the arranging of my Mother's funeral at short notice. I was very pleased to find Garton and Son's website. Everything was clearly laid out, including costs- this was very important for myself, I did not want to be calling round multiple funeral directors at that time.
From first point of contact, Garton and Son's approach was spot on. They guided me through this painful process with just the right level of assistance. I was consulted and kept informed, without feeling hassled, at every stage. They did my Mother proud.

I would like to sincerely thank Gartons on behalf of my family, I had never had to deal with such things before and was helped along every step of the way.
I would wholeheartedly reccomend them without hesitation, I have nothing to compare their service too but I cant think of anything they could have improved on.
This is very short and sweet but they were so great and I feel they helped us so much and I am so glad to have recieved such amazing service at such a sad time.
5 Debbie Jones 24th Mar 2020
We mainly dealt with Lee and Eric and I can honestly say that from start to finish they and the whole team were so lovely, kind, helpful, patient and professional.
They offered us gentle advice whilst arranging the funeral and we also felt very supported by them on the day of the funeral and afterwards.
My family felt that my Gran was very well looked after by them and thanks to them we were able to give her the lovely send off she deserved.
I would highly recommend Gartons.
5 Christine Harris 14th Mar 2020
Everything was perfect. The flowers were lovely and their professionalism and support throughout was exemplary. My mother hadn’t been well towards the end of her life and it was sad to see her like that. However, the service has left me with a lovely memory of her. I really can’t thank them enough.
5 Sarah Toohey 9th Mar 2020
All I can say is everything that they do is perfect and I would recommend their service highly. They have helped me through two very upsetting and difficult times in my life. They are so understanding and kind and know their jobs inside out. Nothing is too much trouble and at times like this kindness and knowledge is so important. My heartfelt thanks to all of you for everything you have done for me

The family of the late Margaret Coverdale (Peggy)would like to thank Garton`s Funeral directors , especially Lee, for the care they gave to Peggy and support and guidance they gave to us all. They all treated her with the dignity she deserved and were always there to help us when we needed them. Also the vicar they requested for us was excellent and he gave a lovely service for her. The urology he gave was just her!!! All concerned made a very difficult, emotional time much easier to cope with.
Thank you all

M Garton & Son guided my family through the emotional process of my dad's funeral with the greatest respect and kindness. They were professional, thoughtful, supportive and extremely helpful. Our family would highly recommend M Garton & Son.
5 Susan Coulson 20th Feb 2020
I cannot praise M Garton & Sons enough for their support, guidance, thoughtfulness and professionalism during a heartbreaking time when our Mum suddenly passed away.
Eric, in particular, organised the funeral to perfection and took away all the stress at such a difficult time. We are extremely grateful.
5 Dawn Shortman 20th Feb 2020
Me and my dad was so very happy and pleased with the excellent service provided by Frazer at Gartons. From the very beginning of the loss of a Wife and Mum we couldn’t have asked for anything more than the help and understanding from everyone. We know my Mum would have loved everything you did for us under a very difficult time. All me and dad can say is a very big thank you from the bottom of our hearts

5 Mandy Catt 6th Feb 2020
Cannot speak highly enough of Lee who helped and supported me through a very difficult time , the loss of my Dad...the first parent loss and organising a funeral was made I feel much less painful. I felt he was there supporting from the 1st phone call all way through with reassuring phone calls and updates! Their thought and consideration made a perfect farewell and their recommendation of Rachel the celebrant has also to be noted, received such lovely comments on the day about service.
Thank you Lee and Rachel superb service !
