What people say

★★★★★
The staff at Richard’s are like a family extension to the bereaved. Lou Lou and her team were fantastic. They looked after my husband with the upmost care and respect. Everybody commented on the professionalism of her team. They made it a lot easier for me and Bob’s children
★★★★★
During one of the most difficult times for our family, the team at Richard’s Funeral Directors were truly exceptional. They ensured that Les was treated with the utmost respect and dignity throughout. As Les had a funeral plan in place, the team took the time to carefully guide us through every detail, making the process much easier to navigate. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt supported. On the day of the funeral, their care and compassion were outstanding, helping us through what was an incredibly emotional time. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone
★★★★★
If you are a family looking for a funeral directors who are open to doing things differently, then Richards are for you. We had a cardboard coffin delivered to our house to paint and decorate with designs, photos and pictures of all the things our dad loved to really personalise it. We were supported through out to ensure we could have the celebration of our dad's life that we wanted in his own garden of the house he brought us all up in. It was perfect and really set us on the right path to begin our grieving process. Thank you Cheryl (funeral director) for helping make it happen.

★☆☆☆☆
Recently lost a relative and the funeral was arranged by this funeral home. Firstly, it’s an absolute nightmare to get to. They had some renovations ongoing and made me go all the way around and walk up to what looked like a run down flat. The arranger was nice, but the funeral director Lou was horrible and rude. No manners at all. She has no empathy for a grieving family and decided to take control of my own funeral arrangements. She was arrogant and selfish to put the least. This ruined my experience and I would never use Richard’s funeral directors in the future. Not professional at all. Av
