What people say

★★★★★
I have never had to arrange a funeral before but I am so pleased that as a family we chose John g hogg. Not even sure I have the words to explain my gratitude. Gemma was absolutely amazing, from the first time upon meeting her and until even the ceremony had ended. She was very attentive, compassionate and super professional... Nothing I could put into words would ever be enough. But I'd like to say a super thank you on behalf of me and my family for making our experience of funeral planning so easy and straight forward and giving my dad the send off he deserved.

I wanted to say a big thank you to John Hogg Funeral Directors for their professionalism whilst taking care of my Mothers funeral. I’d never had to go through this before and Every staff member I spoke to showed empathy, kindness and patience. John was amazing at making us feel at ease and really showed he cared. It was an extremely hard time but the service we received was extraordinary and I truly thank you all. X

My parents took out a Golden Charter funeral plan with John G Hogg’s Funeral Directors way back in 2004. Dad passed 3 years later and his funeral was handled with great compassion with my mother handling the arrangements. 18 years later, in 2025, my 94 year old mother passed away at around 10.00 pm at the care home where she was being looked after. At 30 minutes past midnight she was taken from the home into the care of funeral director Stuart Goldsmith. Stuart later visited us at home to discuss our wishes for the funeral arrangements e.g. coffin type, vicar or celebrant, flowers, music etc.

John Hogg Funeral Directors provided an outstanding service. Claire and her team showed exceptional professionalism, compassion, and empathy, guiding us through every step of the process at such a difficult time. They arranged everything with great care, making the funeral a truly special occasion and a perfect way to celebrate Mary’s life. We are deeply grateful for their support and everything they have done for us.

On Saturday 17th January 2026 our lives were shattered and our hearts broken when our loving and devoted Mam left us. From that evening when the staff came to collect Mam and take her to be cared for and prepared, to the day of the funeral, the staff at John G Hogg were a massive support to us. Through the consultations, Gemma was professional and empathetic to both me and my sister and nothing was a problem or a bother to her. I have no doubt that Mam was in very safe and competent hands to be cared for and prepared for her final journey. Thanks for everything Gemma, you and the team were
