Absolutely fantastic service provided every step of the way.  Professional, caring, compassionate and understanding, I could not of wished for any more during a very difficult and sad time for myself personally. Nothing was ever too much of an ask, they clearly explained what to expect and when, and  they really did help in giving the best send off that was deserved for someone so dear to me. They were always available when needed, and made the whole process very easy for me. I really cannot thank them enough.

When Pete was taken from us so suddenly, I was only ever going to use A.P McDonalds  This is our 4th  family Funeral with them over the years , From our first contact  they ensured that the service We wanted from  the music, flowers etc.  We cannot thank Ashley Paul and Sam enough for their wonderful support thorough what has been an extremely difficult time.

    I was advised to use A.P Funeral services by a friend due to their experience with them and as a family we are glad we did. Paul and Ashley offer a very professional but friendly service. The day ran very smoothly and everyone commented on what a lovely service it was. Will recommend them to friends and family. 

  • 5 Raina Reader 16th Feb 2024

    Paul, Ashley, Sam and the team have made a very difficult time somewhat easier than we would have ever imagined when arranging our Mum's funeral. The attention to detail, professionalism, care and compassion that everything was dealt with was more than evident throughout this very sad time. I would not hesitate in recommending them. Thank you, guys.

  • 5 Zoe Lewis 4th Sep 2023

    We cannot thank Paul and the team at AP enough for the kindness, care and professionalism they displayed at such a sad time for our family. It felt like they held our hand at every decision point and every step of the way. I have been blown away by the "above and beyond" approach of this family run business. I can't recommend them highly enough. Bravo. 5 star service.

  • 5 Samantha Coombes 4th Sep 2023

    Funeral planning isn't something anyone wants to do however the staff at AP McDonald's made the process so simple. All the staff were so respectful. All my enquiries were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
    I highly recommend AP McDonald's.

  • 5 Jordan Topliss 29th Aug 2023

    Incredibly helpful during a difficult time. They take great pride in their work and are very kind people to work with. And they do a brilliant job.

  • 5 Kim Meddings 12th Aug 2023

    Paul, Ashley and Sam were amazing - following my mother's recent death, the team went above and beyond to help us through such a difficult time. Being compassionate and respectful at all times, they took much of the administrative burden off us, booked the funeral and the perfect celebrant (Sam Rogers), advised when we needed help, and generally guided us through the whole process. We understood exactly what we needed to do and when, and they made sure that the funeral ceremony itself was the best that it could be. As such, we can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Paul and the team.

  • 5 Kevin Hale 7th Aug 2023

    Fantastic service given to my Mum. My mum had the best send of and couldn’t thank you both enough for all the support you have given us as a family. Very much appreciated. One of the best! 

    Kevin, Sharna & Kyla. 

  • 5 Jen Owen 20th Jun 2023

    We were recommended Ashley and Paul by a friend who had lost their dad a couple of years prior. They made the whole process as simple and painless as possible and went over and above what you would expect. Paul greeted me with a hug and a huge amount of empathy for our situation. Ashley is extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring and great at what he does. We couldn’t fault the support and service we were provided with. Thanks so much guys for making such an awful and sad time just that bit easier. Jen and Rich 

  • 5 Fiona Thom 26th Apr 2023

    Professional, caring and completely understood our wishes for our family.
    Could not have asked for anything more and absolutely no hesitation in recommending to others

  • 5 Sue Pawlowski 17th Apr 2023

    Paul and Ashley were compassionate, professional and guided us through the process with sensitivity and feeling. 

  • 5 Doreen Wiltshire 27th Mar 2023

    You never want to deal with a funeral, and where do you start when you have to?   All we can say is that Paul and the team took very good care of us, sensitively supporting and making sure we celebrated Nans life in the way she would have wanted, leading the way when when were unsure, making things happen and personalising them when we asked - the entire team, and the entire process reflects a most personal, professional and caring service.  Our thanks and appreciation.
