Very helpful and took a huge burden off my shoulders. Haven’t received her bill yet so don’t know whether it was good value. 

Marion Barker 15th Apr 2024

When my husband Pete passed away I always knew he wanted Susan to carry out his funeral. My son Ian and I called into the office in Eye and Susan was absolutely fantastic making all the arrangements and was so patient when I got it all wrong !!! She was so sympathetic, caring so kind and considerate. I went and said goodbye to Pete and he looked so peaceful dressed up in his funeral tails and funeral clothes. The funeral service went off without a hitch, she was absolutely marvellous, so kind and caring. I would recommend Susan Whymark Funeral Services to everyone. Thank you so much.

    We would not hesitate to highly recommend Susan Whymarks Funeral directors. The personal, heartfelt, dignified service that they provided helped us navigate the very emotional process of organising our Mums funeral. Susan made sure that the day went smoothly and supported us as a family throughout the whole lead up to it too. You just knew she had looked after our Mum. Extremely professional but with such a personal touch.

    Mandy was excellent throughout.  Mix up with the Vicar spoilt things somewhat.

    Susan Whymark replied
    Thank you for your review regarding your mother's service and your kind words especially under the circumstances. We do everything in our power to make things run smoothly however, as you now know, unfortunately, we have no control over the actions of the Clergy taking the service. I do hope you manage to get things resolved with him. Best wishes, Mandy

    We live in Yorkshire and have had dealings with 4 funeral directors over the last 10 years but none equels  the service we got from Susan Whymark’s  team . They took all the worry from our planning which was much appreciated as we live so far away . Well Done .
