Following the death of our mum Olive in February we chose Daren Persson Funeral Services, and i'm so pleased we did. Bill from the first home visit was caring, respectful and professional. He made a very difficult time much easier. He is such a lovely man and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Bill and his team. Thank you for taking such lovely care of our mum and for all the help you gave to me and my family. We are forever grateful.

Myself and my family cannot praise you and all your staff enough. Dedicated, personal and friendly from the first call I made. On the day of my mam’s funeral, everyone went above and beyond, being patient with myself and family and supporting us when we carried my mam ourselves. Thank you so much for making what was the hardest day of my life so special. An extra special thank you to Bill and Suzanne for going the extra mile I appreciate everything you done for my mam. 85 🩵

My Mum died recently and I chose to use Daren Persson as my funeral director as my family have used them before. They were all fantastic from start to finish. The respect for not only myself but the rest of my family and mourners was second to none. Every thing I wished for was carried out to the last detail. Bill carried out the arrangement and Roy conducted the funeral, respect to both I can't thank you enough. I will recommend your company without hesitation. Thanks again to all.

Following the death of my wife Joan Louden from Motor Neuron Disease, there was only one phone call to make...Daren Persson.Everthing was taken care of including home visits to both myself and members of the family to compile a celebration of Joan's life.Hal Branson (Celebrant) conducted a memorable service at Tynemouth Crematorium. The celebration of Joan's life was without fault. No hesitation in recommending Daren Persson at such a stressful time. Brian Louden
