A beautiful, professional, traditional service carried out by compassionate, caring people! All my worries were swept away in a big Garton hug. Thank you!

I felt the care and support offered by everyone at Gartons to be fantastic. Making arrangements can be a very difficult and distressing time but they take the time to make this as straightforward as possible making the whole situation a lot easier to deal with.
On the day of the funeral I found them to be very professional , caring and compassionate from start to finish.

After contacting the funeral directors in the early hours of my dear dad sadly passing away l was given lots of comfort and dad was treated with great dignity and found much comfort to find a beautiful card attached to a white carnation as dad left for his peaceful rest home...l was then contacted by lee at the Hessle road rest rooms and arranged a visit at my home within a couple of days what a gentleman man he was..we had smiles and a bit of banter ( that’s what dad would of liked) everything was just so perfect from lee coming to leaving l was informed every step of the way. everything we was expecting and more.little personal touches l had asked for, nothing was a task for anyone at this difficult time,flower arrangements was stunning too! If lee was not there to answer my questions at the time l rang his response was immediately responsive...dad’s send was absolutely perfect in every way possible and thank you all for your kind thoughtful and caring service that you have provided for my dear dads new life
Kind regards
Love Andrew,Neil and joanne 💙💙

Dear Frazer,
We would like to thank you and your team at Garton’s for your professionalism and sympathy at this distressing time. Whilst Denise was poorly we lost her very suddenly and unexpectedly. We wanted Denise’s service to be a celebration of her life and from the start Frazer could see our vision. From the distinctive coffin to the magnificent horses the day was as perfect as we could have wished for despite being one of the most upsetting and stressful situations we as a family have ever found ourselves in.

At a time when you’re not thinking clearly and feeling vulnerable, you’re not in the mindset to plan for an emotional event you’d rather hadn’t happened.
Amongst all the offers from family and friends to help, it was the professionalism of the M Garton & Sons team to take control from that initial phone call, that made it bearable. Most things you don’t even know you need to know but Frazer was exceptional at explaining every detail, for every decision, at every stage that mattered. Everything else, they just took care of, so we didn’t have to.
I could comment on their excellent level of service, impeccable resting environment, friendly and personable approach; but it was the seamlessness and work behind the scenes that, in retrospect we valued the most. Our focus was able to be firmly where it should have been - with our grief and with our families.
I cannot thank them enough for this and their continued success as a locally-owned business is a reflection of the quality and effort the team put in.
It is therefore without reservation, I would recommend M Gartons & Sons to you to take care of your loved one with the kindness and utmost care you could only hope for.

Lee and his team provided an excellent, personal and very supportive service and I would recommend them to anyone

At a time of great distress the service and care we received from Garton's, and in particular Eric, was excellent.
This was the fourth family funeral (both mine and my husbands parents) Garton's have handled for us, they have been excellent every time.
Due to family members living overseas we asked Garton's to expediate the funeral as quickly as possible, this they managed very quickly working along with Hull Royal Infirmary.
If you are looking for a family friendly funeral service look no further than Garton's. I would highly recommend them.

M Garton & Son gave a very professional service from start to finish. I would recommend them as a first choice for a funeral director every time.
5 Carol Brumhead 20th Dec 2019
I can not thank M. Garton & Son Ltd., enough for all their help and support during the days immediately following Mum's passing and on the day of the funeral itself. At our initial meeting we were given lots of advice, information and options we needed to think about. Having never organised a funeral before, M. Garton & Son Ltd., made the whole process relatively simple and worry free which is exactly what you need when you have just lost a loved one.Nothing was too much trouble and the service they provided was exemplary. I would not hesitate to recommend M. Garton & Son Ltd., to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position where they require the services of a funeral director.
5 Alan Stephenson 15th Dec 2019
My mother's funeral went off without a hitch. There was good communication with Garton's beforehand which I much appreciated and the comments I had from family and friends afterwards was all very positive.
I would recommend them
5 Chris Greenwood 13th Dec 2019
My mother-in-law bless her had already pre-paid some years ago and set out her requirements, this made the funeral arrangements less onerous. That said, Lee and his team were very supportive, taking the family through the process step by step, helping us with the Service provider and the Order of Service sheets.
They provided us with cones to ensure that space for the funeral cars was made available in front of the house, with minimum disruption.
On the day of the funeral they were very professional and respectful toward all family members, young and old alike, before, during and after the Service.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Garton's to anyone, in the assurance they would be in safe hands.
5 Alison Windas 12th Dec 2019
Caring and compassionate from start to finish.
They made the whole thing bearable.
5 Graham Harrison 11th Dec 2019
Thank you so much to the team at M Garton's Funeral Directors, for your true professionalism, support, and care at such a sad time for our family. Would highly recommend Garton's. They helped us organise a truly amazing service for our mother which she deserved. Every step of the way they kept in touch and made this difficult time a little bit easier for us. Once again a huge thank you to Lee and Team that helped give my mother the best send of!
5 Tim Gajus 5th Dec 2019
Lee has been great and very professional when arranging direct cremation services. You can tell that it's a trusted, family run business that has wealth of experience and I was very pleased that M Garton & Son took such a great care when fulfilling our request from start to finish. Not only they were outstanding, they are also the cheapest provider in Hull.
5 David Thornton 5th Dec 2019
The service was entirely professional and as importantly, friendly, which was a great comfort at a difficult time.
I would recommend Garston without hesitation.
5 Clare Salmond 28th Nov 2019
I would highly recommend M Gartons & Sons for Funeral Directors for number of reasons, first is the sympathy and professional advice from beginning to the end in the most difficult time in arranging the funeral, for my Dad, I had never arranged a funeral before but they made this easy to do, all staff I dealt mainly with Lee, but also Eric and Fergus were extremely friendly and gave me endless support needed, any question you had they would advice anytime you needed, and helpful hints and it was not about pushing additional services unnecessarily or costs, they use a Graham’s Florist who were very very reasonable prices and the flowers were beautiful. I would have to say that Lee were absolute gem, takes a very special person to do that job and he is one of them an absolute diamond and truly grateful to M Gartons & Sons and the words A very big thank you seem so little to all that they did for me and my family for a lovely send off my Dad.
5 Wendy Winfield 4th Nov 2019
The services provided by Gartons were excellent. They responded swiftly at the beginning of the arrangements and kept in touch regularly for the next fortnight.
I would recommend Gartons to other families.
5 Paul Holiday 1st Nov 2019
M. Garton & Son Funeral Directors of Hull were from start to finish (and even afterwards) of My Late Father's Death ......... "Simply The Best"!
Their true professionalism, understanding and most of all Calm & Caring nature of support that They showed throughout to My Whole Family will NEVER be forgotten.
I can't "Thank" them enough for ALL what They did at our time of need and would give Them a rating of 11 out of 10.
5 Carole Gorbutt 14th Oct 2019
I cannot thank M.Garton & Son Funeral Directors enough for all of their
expert guidance and absolute kindness on arranging the funeral of my beloved Mum recently.
It was going to prove particularly difficult for me as I live in Devon and Mum was in a home in Yorkshire, however Lee from Garton's "walked " me through every step of the way and I cannot thank him enough for all of his help and professionalism.
Every member of Garton's staff who I encountered along the way treated me as if I was the only person they had to deal with and NOTHING was too much trouble and I was never hurried in any way at all.
So ,Five Star Service from absolute 5 Star Staff. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
Kindest Regards
Carole. Gorbutt.
5 Mark Blackwell 11th Oct 2019
Upon the recent bereavement of my wonderful mother, I had feared the task, arrangement and organisation of the funeral and all that it would entail.
I had been recommended from a family member that I would be in safe and expert hands with M. Garton and sons.
I can say without hesitation that the support, guidance and compassion that we have received has no doubt made the whole process so much more bearable.
Glad to say that with your help, we were able to give my mother the wonderful send off that she so deserved and I can only say thank you for ensuring, certainly on my part, flawless support.
Thank you once again.
Mark Blackwell.

From the advice and the options offered to us at our first meeting to the logistics on the day of the funeral itself, my brother and I found M Garton & Sons to be a model of customer service. They respected the decisions we made, accepted it when we changed our minds and, generally, nothing was too much trouble for them. Losing a parent is a difficult and stressful time and the staff there understood that implicitly. They made it stress free for us and as pleasant an experience as one possibly can in such circumstances. The entire team was excellent and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to others.
5 Debbie Siddle 23rd Sep 2019
Gartons looked after my dad three years ago and recently my mum. They were brilliant, not an easy time for anyone but they were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I was never rushed into making any decisions and would highly recommend them.
5 Raymond Wass 25th Sep 2019
The care and attention I received could not have been better, they really helped me though a very difficult time . Thankyou so much
5 Alan Thornton 7th Sep 2019
We have used Garton’s services a number of times over the years. I can honestly say we wouldn’t use anyone else.
There services are so personal and they make sure ever last detail is perfect. The team are on hand for any questions and I honestly can’t recommend them enough.
Our recent experience exceeded all expectations, we had some difficult circumstances. Lee talked us though the process and explained all eventualities to us, this helped us plan and set our expectations. Lee and the team managed to turn around some very tight timeframes to enable us to see our family member in the chapel of rest.
I’m sure everyone will agree this is a service that nobody wishes to use, however Gartons always take away the stress and worry. Don’t bother going elsewhere, use the best Garton's.
5 Julia Mulchinock 21st Aug 2019
We have used M. Garton and Son for seven family funerals over the past 40 years and nothing has changed. It is still a family run business who show such compassion, dedication, care, kindness and, above all, great professionalism which is second to none along with an amazing, personal service. We would never, ever use any other funeral directors. We just can`t imagine any other funeral directors topping them! They treat your loved one as their own. This is a fact. We just can`t recommend them highly enough. They show such commitment to you. We can guarantee that you will be in their extremely capable hands from beginning to end.......nothing is too much trouble. We really can`t stress this enough. Thank you Gartons - you really are the best!
