As sad as I am to be in the position to leave a review for a funeral director, I have to leave 5 stars for James Hamilton Funeral Directors. I was handling the arrangements for my mums funeral and had rung several different funeral directors in the area because I wanted to make sure I felt like my mum would be taken care of. I chose James Hamilton not only because of how kind Jim was on the phone, how carefully he listened and didn’t push anything on me during an initial call but the fact that he said “if you can find anyone cheaper please feel free to go with them”. I knew then it’s not about

Many thanks to Jim and his team for easing our way through the difficult process of arranging Dad's funeral. Jim was extremely helpful and caring, he was always prompt at answering emails and phone calls. The day of the funeral was very well organised, his compassion for the whole family was beyond measure. A true professional who obviously takes great pride in his work. Thank you for your support and care at a very emotional time.

Sadly and unexpectedly my beloved mam passed away last month. As a family we contacted James as he looked after our grandparents 27 years ago. There are just not enough words to express how amazing James, Yvonne and the team were. Every step of the way, no matter what time of the day, James was there by our side for support & guidance. On behalf of my dad, Ronnie and the rest of the family we are beyond grateful for your super efficient service during this difficult time. 🙏 Sincere thanks, Jo x

We chose James Hamilton for my fathers funeral on the 31st of January 2022, after being very pleased with his excellent service for my father-in-laws arrangements two years prior. From beginning to end Jim provided a perfect service, and every detail was taken care of, including flowers and music for the service. When you are suffering your loss you really need to be able to put the necessary arrangements into the hands of someone you feel you can trust, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company in this regard. On the day itself Jim guided us through the service and burial (

Sadly, we had to get in touch with Jim, following the passing of our Dad in September. Jim had looked after our Grans funeral 15 years before, and there was never a question who we as a family wanted to look after our beloved Dad. Nothing was any problem to Jim. The respect he showed not only us as a family but to my Dad was way and above anything anyone could expect. Jim was the absolute professional, a source of strength for me personally during an extremely difficult time. There aren't enough words to explain our gratitude, and our thanks to Jim and his team for looking after our Dad.
