I chose Parker's as they are a local family business. All the staff were compassionate, kind and supportive, and showed great sensitivity at such a sad and difficult time. Thank you to all the Parker's team.

Some of the kindest and nicest people you could ever wish to deal with at such a hard time. They didn't just take care of my mum, they also took care of me. They are incredibly professional, compassionate, the funeral home is immaculate and the chapel is lovely. I can't recommend and thank them enough.

At this awful time the death of my father - all staff were so so lovely, friendly, kind and compassionate which we all need at these sad times. Nothing was too much trouble for this lovely family run business, I would not hesitate to recommend them - you will be given the help care respect and support you need. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, Jamie, Michael and Karen (apologies if I’ve missed anyone)

I chose Parker’s because they were a family business and they were very professional and caring, they looked after my aunty with great care. I was able to use their chapel for a small service which was lovely. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We used Parker's for my father's funeral, opting for a 'direct' cremation. The service was held in Parker's chapel and the wake was held upstairs in their elegant function room. This meant we had full control over the proceedings and did not have to chase about in cars between church and crematorium. Parker's were superb. They gave us guidance, were very accommodating, attentive and efficient and struck exactly the right note on the day. I really do not think my father's funeral could have gone any better. Thank you Nick, Jamie & Karen for all you did for us.

We cannot recommend Parker's enough. Karen, Nick and the whole family and team looked after us so well. They were compassionate, understanding and offered great support from our very first contact when my Dad passed away. They made such a difficult time so much easier to bear. A huge thank you to them all.

I unfortunately lost my husband recently in quite difficult circumstances. I cannot tell you how much Parker’s helped and supported me and my family. They took us through the whole process with such kindness and support. They were so professional but at the same time compassionate. The whole building is very homely and peaceful. We used their chapel which is beautiful unlike the crematorium there is no rushing you in and out it is a much more intimate setting. Not small just more peaceful. Everyone who came to the funeral said how lovely it was. I know you don’t want to think of money at a time like that but in the times we have at the moment it has to be a consideration I have to say that the cost of the funeral was really good there were no hidden extras. A friend of mine has just suffered a bereavement and although the relative had paid for the funeral, the company they were with wanted money if anyone wanted to view the body and all sorts of extras. We didn’t have any of that you were welcome to view you just had to phone. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Parker’s to anyone.

I want to say a huge big thank you to Nick, Jamie, Karen and everyone else working for Parker’s. You were always available to us, nothing was too much for you and you made my dad’s funeral service the best it could be under the very sad and sudden circumstances. We didn’t have to think about anything other than ourselves on the day and that really helped. Your service to me and my family was very professional but very friendly and personal too. The Order of Service was of a very high quality and exactly what we wanted thanks to a number of changes made by you when we kept changing our minds!! Thank you so much to all of you, I would highly recommend the service you provide to everyone I know. Sara.

Thankyou so much to Nick, Karen and all at Parkers for taking care of Mum with such care, compassion and professionalism. It is so reassuring to know that having taken care of both Dad in 2018 and now Mum it really has been a case of your family looking after my family. You always get my recommendation.

Here is a copy of the message I sent to these wonderful people after Dad's Funeral - I think it says it all ! "I am writing to say a massive, massive thank you to all of you. I knew even after our first phone call that you were the right choice to look after Dad and so it was. You were all AMAZING from start to finish and you could not have done anything more to give Dad the send off he deserved. You were all professional but more importantly empathetic and the whole family were massively impressed and wanted me to pass on their appreciation. There is nothing more I can say except YOU ARE ALL AWESOME ! Thank you so much". Ian Kerslake x
