★★★★★
A very professional service from start to finish. We asked a lot from the staff as living overseas created problems for us but everything was taken care of and couldnt have been better in any way. They liased with the crematorium to locate a family grave and expedited the ashes quickly so they could be laid by us before our imminent return home. Would recommend them wholeheartedly. Thankyou to all at scales and Blackburn crematorium.
★★★★★
Scales Funeral Services gave us excellent service arranging all aspects of the funeral for my brother and we can recommend them very highly. Christine was always very helpful, caring and professional. Also the way Ken Howells conducted the service was wonderful. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved.
★★★★★
Our family has used the services of Scales Funeral Directors in Blackburn twice recently and I couldn't fault the service at all. Christine and Janine are both amazing at what they do, making a difficult time much more manageable. Both are kind, supportive and professional and I can't thank them enough. Always going the extra mile. I wouldn't use anybody else - thank you!
★★★★★
I have recently had the saddest experience of my life losing my wonderful husband but I was guided through every step with compassion and kindness from all members of staff at this establishment. I have to give special thanks to Jill, Christine, Stacey and Laura who were with me every step of the way. I can’t thank them enough for all their support and assistance throughout this extremely difficult time.
★★★★★
As an Independent Funeral Celebrant, I work with a number of different Funeral Directors. At Scales, you are always greeted at the door with a warm smile and a 'come in!' Christine and Jeanine are warm, caring and compassionate professionals and I would recommend Scales to anyone.
