What people say
★★★★★ From First meeting to internment of my mother. Colin Wightman and his team were totally professional and compassionate to our needs. Everything went off excellently and would fully recommend them in that time of need.
★★★★★ Excellent customer service and support throughout during such a difficult time. Our Funeral Director Jamie was there whenever we needed to discuss any aspects of the service and provided practical support to ensure we got the service just right. Our loved one was treated with dignity and respect and we will always be grateful for this.
★★★★★ I would like to thank all the staff at James Ashton for a wonderful caring, professional way they cared for and conducted my late husband’s funeral. Especially Jamie Anderson. Thank you from the Bains.
★★★★★ Ashton's has been the family's choice for generations. The team are kind, compassionate and respectful right from that first phone call to say they're services are needed. There is no sales pitch and no pressure. The team will take onboard your wishes and provide you with an estimate to help with your financial planning and keep you informed throughout. We knew our Dad was going to be taken care of. Colin, Tony and Zoe helped the family get through a difficult time, and I wouldn't hesitate to call upon the team at Ashton's again.
★★★★★ Supportive and professional throughout. Christopher and team were most definitely by our sides and took every care of us from start to finish. We are deeply grateful for their considerate service and cannot recommend them too highly. Thank you so much.
