Very happy with the service from Christine from Farmer and Son. From first point of contact to picking up the ashes, everything was conducted very professionally and with compassion.

Simply the best at what they do. Only reason I gave 5 stars is because I couldn't give them anymore....

    Christine helped the family in all aspects of the funeral arrangements and talked us through the various options and decisions that needed to be made. Their organization and professionalism was excellent at all times. For what is a difficult circumstance facing the bereaved family we were very grateful that we turned to them for help.

  • 5 Emma Westwood 26th Aug 2023

    Farmer & Son provided services for my mom just over 2 years ago and again when my dad passed away in July - their service is exceptional. They are kind & understanding at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Kay Lowe 26th Aug 2023

    At the most distressing of times Chris comforted my Mom and supported her & myself to plan a fitting funeral for my Dad. She was so caring and empathetic and we felt cocooned in her kindness.
    Neil (if I remember correctly), the funeral director & team on the day of the funeral were impeccable and so professional yet friendly.
    Thank you all for making a difficult time more bearable.

  • 5 David Prosser 26th Aug 2023

    We would like to thank all at Farmers for their kind and diligent work during our time of loss. They were always kind and considerate throughout. Definitely five stars 

  • 5 Jane Geach 22nd Aug 2023

    Farmers were professional and supportive every step of the way after my dad passed away. Starting with the 2 gentlemen who came promptly to transport dad to the chapel; both were courteous and truly respectful. Chris was the epitome of kindness and  was always available to offer her expertise, advice and support, with the many choices available;  order of service, number of cars, flowers etc. The funeral day itself was perfectly organised and the cars and drivers were immaculate. Thank you all so very much.

  • 5 Philip Bradley 21st Aug 2023

    What can I say, this isn't the first time I've used Farmer & Son for a family funeral and their service has been exemplary. Their attention to detail and professionalism makes them a credit to their trade. A local firm who really care and take pride in that. A rare thing in this day and age. Can't recommend them enough.

  • 5 Anita Edwards 20th Aug 2023

  • 5 Clive Bradley 17th Aug 2023

  • 5 Margaret Wood 4th Aug 2023

    Chris was very helpful with explaining everything we needed to know..
    It all ran smoothly on the day.
    We would just like to thank you all for your help and support

  • 5 Wayne Brockhurst 4th Aug 2023

    Very professional and considerate service

  • 5 Sally Ann Cook 31st Jul 2023

    Christine was really lovely and accommodating throughout me sorting the arrangements for my Mom.
    It was all really smooth running and didn't cause me any stress.
    The only thing I'd say, is that the man who led the funeral at the crem need to ensure that he gets the family's name correct and dosen't shorten it as that can be very frustrating.

    But all in all a fantastic service provided by lovely people .

  • 5 Robert Townsend 25th Jul 2023

    From my first contact with Farmer & Son everything was fully explained all my options were laid out for me, Chris who I dealt with could not have been more understanding of my needs at this very emotional time. I was not rushed everything was done at my pace. The arrangements when made ran exactly as planned, and although I knew most of the people involved, I still felt that they were sharing my grief. Overall I could not have chosed better, everything was excellent.

  • 5 Leah Massey 23rd Jul 2023

    During such a sad and difficult time, Farmer and Son were a pleasure to deal with. We could not fault them in any way. They were professional, efficient, kind and friendly and made a daunting process so much easier. A special mention for Christine who is such a lovely lady. We cannot thank them enough. 

  • 5 Steven James Smart 21st Jul 2023
