I am not sure I have the correct words, but i will try. Someone recommended Unique Funerals to me as I lost my Dad some weeks ago. I blindly just went with their recommendation as I had no idea where to start and so much was going on with some very challenging family members adding to the pain. From the first conversation with Paul I felt comfortable. He is a genuine gentleman. He explained everything to me and was so patient with me and my Fiancée. Paul was like a family member. Unbelievably understanding, sympathetic, empathetic and all the other words you would wish someone to be wh

Paul & the team are incredible! I used Unique Funerals in July 2022 to bury my nana & again in July 2023 to cremate my brother. They offer an exceptional, compassionate and very understanding service. Nothing is too much trouble, even in difficult family circumstances. The care of each of my family members was second to none. We even had a specilaised coffin made for my brother. It was outstanding! I've recommended them to friends as a 5⭐️ service and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for making what has been an extremely difficult time go with as much ease as possible!

My husband passed away abroad, and I initially had to deal with undertakers in a foreign country where attitudes toward death and the deceased are quite different. From the very first telephone contact I had with Paul Miller, I felt a huge sigh of relief, knowing that my late husband would finally be in very safe, competent, and caring hands, and that he would be taken good care of and treated with the respect he deserved. That same compassion and care were extended to me and my family, not only by Paul but by all staff at Unique Funeral, at what was the most difficult time of our lives. Nothi

We used Unique Funerals following the death of my son & my husbands son recently. Paul & Nickie we’re an absolute pleasure to work with in finally laying our sons to rest. We could not have functioned without their unwavering patience and kindness & the empathy shown went above & beyond anything we expected. This was an extremely tragic & difficult time for us & Paul & his team made it seamless with step by step in what we could expect of the process. No words really could thank them enough. I would thoroughly recommend if you want a stress free experience following the passing of a loved

My family and I used Unique Funerals recently for my husband's funeral, and to say they surpassed all expectations would be a massive understatement. Paul and the team were absolutely amazing and gave my husband a very special and memorable send off. They just got everything so right, even with all the current restrictions which is obviously a challenge. They have the perfect mix of being professional, caring, understanding, accommodating and providing an extra special personal touch I haven't encountered in a funeral director's before. Paul was the main person who looked after us and I can't
