Andrea and her family are a local family and we couldn’t have wished for anyone better to bury our special lady Yvonne. Andrea went above and beyond to make sure the funeral ran smoothly from start to finish, looking after our loved one, keeping in touch with everything we wanted with compassion and total respect. We would certainly recommend Andrea and her team to others. Thank you Andrea.

The courtesy, care and attention both professionally and personally that Andrea and her team showed towards me at a difficult time of losing my husband, was very much heart felt and appreciated both by myself and my family. Her warmth, empathy, availability, and her attention to detail from beginning to end was phenomenal.

Funeral went without any problems. Obviously professionally organised and run. Great inter-personal skills I plan to have mine with them!

My family and I have nothing but praise for the way that Andrea and her team looked after our mother, following her recent passing. From our initial contact, nothing was too much trouble. Andrea herself was readily available and provided all the information that is required when there is the loss of a loved one. From arranging the collection and laying to rest in their Chapel of Rest, to assisting with the planning of the funeral service, to the commital in the cemetery, the service was exemplary.

Words cannot express my appreciation. The team at Carlyon Funeral Directors have been highly professional and helpful. I feel that I have been taken by the hand and led gently through what can be a very difficult process in organising a funeral. Thank you so much for being so comforting and caring whilst arranging my mum’s funeral. Very grateful indeed. Louise. P.

From first contact up until we received mums ashes back , Carlyon Funeral Directors gave an absolute first class service. Nothing was too much trouble. Andrea and her team gave mum exactly the send off we wanted with amazing dignity and care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. A small company with a huge heart.
