★★★★★
The guys here treat you and your loved ones with respect and courtesy and go above and beyond with their customer service. If you're looking for a great service at a reasonable price with a reliable, approachable team you will not find better. Every detail was handled delicately and respectfully and I don't believe we could have had a better funeral home helping with my sister's funeral. I'm so glad we chose you, Paul, to help arrange my little sister's final journey. You and your staff are amazing. Thank you for making the day a fond farewell
★★★★★
Professional service from start to finish. Paul was extremely compassionate and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the day went perfectly. The horses were wonderful, the drivers impeccable. Cannot recommend these guys enough for taking the stress out of such a difficult time and they are very reasonably priced. Thanks so much for helping us to give my mum such a good send off
★★★★★
We cannot praise Hamers of Tonge Moor Road enough, especially Alison, and Paul. They were very professional, supportive, organised but also all done in a friendly manner. From the first phone call from Alison, meeting for the funeral service, the order of service booklets, the hearse and making arrangements with Overdale Crematorium, thank you very much.
★★★★★
