Murray's were absolutely brilliant with myself and my family couldn't have been more helpful and understanding in such an awful time

Michael Wright 2nd Sep 2020

Many thanks for an excellent job, sensitive and kind. Many thanks

Teresa Comley 31st Aug 2020

I would never use any other funeral director.  They have attended to several members of my family. The care, support, attention to detail and compassion they show you is outstanding, nothing is to much trouble and the whole team make you feel so at ease. I would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

  • 4 David Bennett 11th Aug 2020

    On the day they were absolutely fantastic, sympathetic and structured with Danny and his team delivering everything we could have hoped for in this environment however a couple of niggling issues on the detail building up to the day that I would not have expected from such a quality organisation as Murray's which robbed them of getting excellent.

    That said I would recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Mavis Wilkn 5th Aug 2020

    Melvina was in your care at Murray's for over 5 weeks, in that time you all took the best care of her. Whenever we visited as a family and friends you made us feel at ease, everyone was always so very kind, courteous and respectful of our quiet time with our loved one.
    You greatly assisted with planning of the funeral and we were able to give her a beautiful send off. You thought of absolutely everything, nothing was forgotten, you respected our choices and our wishes. On the funeral day as a family we felt looked after, our friends all agreed that everything was so very well planned, from seating to committal. We even have memories of the day because the service was so beautifully live streamed and also recorded which we will treasure forever. We thank you from our hearts for a service well done. We highly recommend Murray's Funeral Directors.
