Thank you very much Murray's. You were all very helpful, calm and sensitive dealing with our Mothers funeral at a particularly difficult time during lock down. We really did appreciate it. Thank you.

Emma Painter 23rd Jun 2020

From start to finish I felt I was in safe hands. The team (Rebecca and Barry) could t have been more helpful. The service went exactly as we had wished for. I have no hesitation in recommending Murray’s 

Roberta Gregory 16th Jun 2020

On ringing to enquire about a funeral, the young man, Daniel Barke, could not have been more helpful, gentle and empathetic.  Unlike the previous funeral directors that I had rung, who were the direct opposite. Daniel, 'Danny', continued in this vein throughout all our discussions and meetings, nothing appeared too much trouble for him to do for myself.   Danny was very caring, respectful, empathetic and professional at all times.   He made Snowie (our cat) and myself very welcome when we visited my husband on six occasions and, ensured I was not in tears for the drive home. Also, all the staff that I spoke to on the telephone or in person, appeared professional, helpful and caring. I would be more than happy to recommend them to anyone in the future. THANK YOU SO, SO VERY MUCH DANNY, for making an absolutely devastating time for myself as good as it good be. Roberta Gregory (16-5-2020).

    Hello, we were very pleased with the funeral overall. The staff were helpful and the arrangements were handled sensitively. One very minor disappointment was that we requested 3 verses of our chosen hymn, but only one was played at the actual service. Otherwise, everything was very good.

    Having a funeral during lockdown is a very unreal experience.

    I can't thank Murray's enough. Nothing was too much trouble, they made everything easy at such a sad time. Megan was fantastic and a credit to Murray's. I had to make all of the decisions for my mum and she was so pleased that I picked Murray's and couldn't have been happier. I can't fault them at all and would definitely recommend them to anybody. Thank you so much.

    Sue and her staff were  so kind and compassionate in the handling of Moms funeral under the very difficult conditions of the Covid situation. She was with us every step of the way,  helping and guiding us in any way she could and nothing was too much trouble. Her lovely caring gentle nature, and her thoughtfulness throughout the day, gave us total reassurance that we gave Mom the best send off possible under the circumstances.I could not have wished for a more  caring and attentive send off for my mother. I would highly recommend Murrays Funeral Directors to everyone.

    In this  terrible time if COVID 19 they have cared not only for mum but us, making this path of farewell move as smoothly as possible, catering to our needs in saying good  bye to mum that has brought a closure to a life changing time in our lives. We have been personally talked through every step of the way with Sue assuring our peace of mind and the knowledge that mum is in very caring and loving hands. Thank to everyone for your excellent care.

    Keith's funeral was superbly handled with much respect and dignity. Joan could not have been any more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for her and the rest of the Murray's staff.

  • 5 Annie Bartram 4th May 2020

    All the staff at Murrays were so kind and helpful. Becky talked me gently through the requirements of arranging a funeral and Megan was so patient when I changed the order of service a few times. On the day Barry was unobtrusive but there for me, guiding me through a very stressful and sad day.
    I appreciate all their expertise and attention and would highly recommend them.
