COUNTY DURHAM FUNERAL DIRECTORS LTD REVIEWS

Louise, thankyou so much for all of your help & support over the last couple of weeks and for taking such good care of my Mam, Pauline. She always spoke so highly of you and we knew she would be in safe hands with you. You went above and beyond for her and us and it really does mean the world. Keep on being amazing at what you do, the world needs more people like you.

What a fantastic company!! From the very first point of contact, Louise made our family feel relieved, confident and as stress free as possible at a devastating time in our lives. Care and compassion shone through and was very much appreciated. Our Mam was our Queen and she continued to be treat as such and with so much respect. Thankyou form the bottom of our hearts.

Louise is a very special lady, I would not have got through this without her. She took away all our worries and upset, as she arranged from start to finish the most beautiful funeral. We did not have to think of a single thing and she was with us every step of the way. Her genuine caring nature and total understanding helped us so much.

ALDERSON'S FAMILY FUNERALS REVIEWS

We would like to thank you for all of your support you gave us at the hardest time in our lives. We found comfort from your firm from all the care and kindness you gave us. We appreciate all you did for the funeral and the care you gave Jimmy. You are amazing at what you do and hope others find the comfort from you, like we did.

Many thanks to you all for all you did for our gorgeous mam. You were so kind and caring too. Mam will be a big miss to all of us. We feel that her funeral was a lovely day for her, and we thank you for all you did.

Just a little THANK YOU for arranging Rolph’s funeral in such a professional manner and for your time and understanding with all the arrangements.

STUART WRIGHT FUNERAL SERVICE LTD REVIEWS

A warm professional service. They helped me and looked after me and helped me to say goodbye to my husband in exactly the way I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble, even though it wasn't a conventional funeral. The care I recieved was above and beyond, I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them if you want kind care following a bereavement. Spot on Stuart, forever grateful.

Made a call to the company office asking for assistance at University Hospital, North Durham. Spoke to an extremely friendly and helpful receptionist who dispatched Graeme to come to our assistance. Graeme arrived within 10 minutes providing us with the equipment to resolve our problem. A quality service in every respect.

I am so glad I chose Stuart Wright for my husband's funeral. Special thanks to Paul and Lynne who dealt with everything with such understanding and compassion. At the most distressing time in our lives, their care made such a difference.
