Catherine from initial contact to the final invoice went above and beyond. Keiron, the funeral director was excellent in his manner and how he dealt with us as a family . The three gentleman who accompanied him , one driving the extra car we hired , were just so polite and respectful. Our heartfelt thanks go out to each and everyone of you . Thank you .

Thank you to Kathryn, for the care, compassion, and professionalism she showed throughout the arrangements for mum’s funeral. During such a difficult time, her kindness and support made everything much easier for me & my family. The service was handled beautifully by Chris and with great dignity, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail and respect shown to Mum and all of us. We are very grateful for everything you did.

Dooley and sons were caring and professional from start to finish. They answered all queries we had promptly and ensured the day itself ran very smoothly. The family would like to thank Kathryn for all her help going above and beyond organising mums funeral. Keiron and team were kind helping the family on the day.

Catherine was just so lovely, supportive and helpful. Kieron Dooley gave great advice and reacted promptly and effectively to liaise successfully on our behalf with third party issues. The overall service provided was very satisfactory and compassionate at an emotionally challenging time for us all.
