    From the moment we spoke they dealt with sensitivity and respect made a significant difference for our family.

    The choice of funeral vehicles, the beautiful floral tributes, and the serene chapel of rest—all reflected the utmost care and consideration. They turned a challenging moment into a heartfelt farewell that my father would have been immensely proud of.

    The care and support provided by Warings has been more than we expected. In particular Hannah has supported and guided us every step of the way. The whole team have been consistently respectful and as such i am assured that mum would have been cared for from the point of her arrival to her departure.

    I have used waring mckenna in the past. I have found Jonathan and Hannah very pleasant and understanding of their clients needs. I have found that they treat the deceased with the respect and they also make you feel part of the waring mckenna family. I cannot thank each and every member of the Waring Mckenna team for making my Aunties funeral a memorable one. Thank you all.

  • 5 Carolyn Parkinson 2nd Oct 2023

    It was so nice to have Jonathan as  funeral director for my mum. As always (he also was the director for my dad and grandparents) he was totally professional, demonstrated empathy, sympathy and excellent attention to detail. The funeral was planned to the minute and all of the gentlemen who were in attendance on the day displayed total decorum. I cannot thank Jonathan and his team enough. At a difficult time it is so nice to see a friendly face who was able to reminisce with me about previous family funerals. I would fully recommend Waring McKenna.
