    Murray's were excellent and managed the whole process for my father's funeral without any problems. It is especially difficult for them at this time, however they ensured that all the measures necessary to protect their own staff and funeral attendees was in place and adhered to.

    At what is, inevitably, an extremely difficult time, Murray’s Funeral Director’s provided me and my family with a comprehensive yet compassionate guide to what needed to be done.
    Having made our various decisions about the funeral Murray’s were left to sort arrangements out.
    The day of the funeral went like clockwork and was an excellent celebration of my father’s life. I would highly recommend them (especially Angela at the Findern branch).

    I thought this very sad experience was made easier by Daniel. He told me just to follow him and everything would be fine. He inspired confidence as I knew that he would make sure all was well.
    The Order of Service sheets were superb, beautifully done. I visited Robert and he looked very smart in his uniform.

    Thank you all for making a sad occasion easier.

    I would highly recommend Murray's, and excellent doesn't really cover the grading we would give, they have treated us with the upmost dignity and respect at one of the worst times in our lives, nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to ensure everything ran smoothly including a special request with Bretby crematorium.. We would like to give special thanks to Danny who we felt couldn't do enough for us, his professionalism helped us to make the right decisions, he allowed us time and answered any and all questions..Words are not enough to express the more than excellent service we received. Thank you..
