Dealing with a funeral is a difficult time, and we were very grateful for Murrays sympathetic and professional support.  They guided us through all the aspects very clearly with good explanations of options and good advice throughout, giving us confidence that everything would be dealt with in the right way and as we wished. On the day of the funeral the team were very professional and everything went to plan.

So much care and attention to detail. Supportive throughout such a sad time. And all of this during Covid! With heartfelt thanks for your services.

Murray's Funeral directors were responsible for organising the funerals of both of my parents who had sadly passed away this year. They handled the organisation in a professional and sensitive manner. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they dealt efficiently with any issues or alterations in the difficult circumstances of the Covid pandemic. Their experience in these matters shone through and their office staff were very pleasant and understanding at a time when families need it. Thanking all of your staff.

    Murrays supported us through every step of the way, they were honest and upfront about costings as this was the first funeral we had arranged as we had no idea, Megan was always available and answered any questions we had, they did everything in a timely manner and were respectful of our feelings. They were very helpful and nothing was too difficult they found an appropriate vicar for our service and were very welcoming at their office in light of pandemic restrictions, they supported us with our needs, including allowing my sister to dress mums hair for the chapel if rest and their arrangements to spend time with mum privately was outstanding. I am grateful for how caring Danny was throughout the funeral, talking us through each section, calling us the day before to discuss family seating due to the pandemic restrictions at the crematorium and fetching and carrying the funeral floral tributes was very touching as this was done without hesitation, nothing was a problem. Danny even spent time answering quistions after dropping us at the wake which I'm sure he didn't have to do, but again no problem. Speaking on behalf of the family, I would recommend Murrays as a caring and considerate choice to support you through a very difficult time.

    Arranging a funeral is upsetting at the best of times but even more so  during these covid restrictions.
    Becky, Megan & Barry were so lovely & supportive, nothing was too much trouble & no question too silly. Their kindness and genuine caring is obvious. Forever grateful.

  • 5 Kay Ebberley 30th Oct 2020

    We felt that we were very well looked after from start to finish. Everyone from Murray’s were very professional and helped us to achieve the best possible outcome. The funeral of Our Uncle   was very personalised due to Covid. I think going forward this is positive and better.

    Superb service. Megan and Danny couldn't have been more pleasant and more helpful, especially as I do not live in the area but was arranging my Aunts funeral. Everything ran so smoothly and we were looked after every step of the way. Thank you both and all your staff. Brilliant.

    Murray's were very caring and supportive, especially Becky and Danny, and were clear on what could and could not be done under Covid rules for funerals. Several of the mourners at the funeral commented on what a lovely, caring young man Danny was & were impressed with how he directed the funeral on the day. The family certainly second that. He gently guided us and made us feel that he had everything under control.

  • 5 Peter Charles Boulter 19th Sep 2020

    From the first phone call after bereavement to the funeral, we were treated with care and compassion. Rebecca was so helpful and her advise was superb throughout. Danny was lovely on the day of the funeral, thank you so much, excellent service provided.

  • 5 Amanda Agar 6th Sep 2020

    Murray’s we’re exceptionally helpful when I lost my aunt.  I’d never experienced having to plan a funeral before and felt quite overwhelmed by it all, but the wonderful staff talked me through each step and offered advice and guidance making it very straightforward for me.  They also accompanied me into the viewing room when I felt I could not do it alone, snd the funeral director on the day of the funeral made me feel at ease and talked me through what was happening snd what I needed to do.  They made a difficult time under difficult circumstances so much easier to bear.  I can’t thank thank them enough for their care.
