What people say

★★★★★
At the most difficult time of my 72 years life, I found the care, compassion and attention to detail of Peter, Susan and Jake Melrose to be a great comfort. My wife and life companion of 54 years was taken from me in a tragic accident and I am heartbroken and totally devastated. After speaking to several Funeral Directors and comparing the services offered, my daughter chose Melrose because of their personal commitment to look after my wife and arrange the transfer from Oxford to Blyth. Peter dove down himself and made all of the arrangements to safely look after her. The care continued throug

We felt completely looked after by Peter's calm manner and professionalism. We know our mam would have wanted Melrose Services for her funeral. Peter's warmth and personal touch made a difficult time that little bit easier. Thanks again for all you did.

I found Melrose Funeral absolutely fantastic when they organised my wife’s recent funeral. They were so very caring and NOT pushy at all in choosing the coffin. Thank you very much Peter and staff during this very difficult time for me and my family.

It is with great appreciation we thank Melrose Funeral Services. Peter and his staff ensured the most respectful, professional and courteous service throughout our dad’s funeral arrangements. The guidance and support we received was both comforting and reassuring. Very reliable and highly recommend.

Arranging a funeral is rarely a task you would want to do but when you have to, I would wholeheartedly recommend Melrose Funeral Services Ltd. They are everything you could hope for. Professional and experienced but with humility and compassion in abundance. Pricing is v reasonable. They do a very important job very well. I’ve had the unfortunate, but not uncommon, experience of arranging both of my parents funerals, Melrose Funeral services was, by far, the better option and I’m very glad that I was able to use them. Thank you all very much. Fiona Bell
