Leigh and all the team at James Hawes were just INCREDIBLE.
They treated us with care, respect, and a tender glove.
From the moment Roy visited my mother to put her funeral plan in place, 7 years ago, to her funeral day, they were exceptional.
Leigh went ABOVE AND BEYOND, I honestly cannot reccomend them highly enough.
Thank you to all the team for such an amazing service at such a sensitive time.
Kind regards
Diane and Perry. ❤️🙏

I recently used James Hawes Funeral Directors, and I can't speak highly enough of the service we received. From the very first conversation, Leigh was absolutely outstanding. She guided us through every step with compassion, patience, and genuine care, making an incredibly difficult time feel just a little easier.
Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made sure every detail was handled with professionalism and warmth. It truly felt like we were being looked after by someone who cared.
Thank you to Leigh and the team at James Hawes - we're deeply grateful for everything you did for us
