What families say

"Making us feel totally at ease that everything would be taken care of - and it was. Everything was done with professionalism, compassion, and respect right from our initial contact through to our visit to the Chapel of Rest."

— Sharon Donovan

"All the worry and stress of the funeral was dealt with on my behalf, before, during and after the day. At a time of great sadness and loss, all the staff were compassionate in their dealings with me."

— Mike Goodrick

"Our very experienced vicar also commented on how impressed he was with how Jason smoothly managed everything. Everything organised was exactly as my friend would have wished, it was beautiful."

— Lisa Stevens (about Jason)

"The service was one of the most moving ones we have experienced. She would have loved it. Jason always responded swiftly to ongoing developments and handled them with a calm professionalism."

— Martin Berry (about Jason)

"Special mention to Jason for his support in always responding promptly to our questions and for all the special touches such as checking the route from the house to ensure there were no hitches and for securing the Robins to Dad's coffin - everything was perfect and just as Dad wanted."

— Sharon Donovan (about Jason)

"To stop at his home on the way to the crematorium for his last goodbye and for the neighbors as well, was so special. My Dad was respected and treated in a way I shan't forget. They thought of things I hadn't."

— L Tat (about Karen, Jason, Katherine)

A kind, friendly and professional service from start to finish. At a time of great sadness and loss, all the staff were compassionate in their dealings with me, all the worry and stress of the funeral was dealt with on my behalf, before, during and after the day. Highly recommended in your time of need.

A G Down were so kind, respectful and empathetic and gave my lovely Dad a beautiful funeral. They were so helpful from start to finish and I highly recommend them. Karen, Jason and Katherine especially were lovely. My Dad was respected and treated in a way I shan’t forget. They thought of things I hadn’t, and to stop at his home on the way to the crematorium for his last goodbye and for the neighbors as well, was so special. Thank you 🙏

A.G. Downs were our first and immediate choice to organise and conduct my mother's funeral, as they had directed my father's funeral several years ago, which went very well. The staff were all sensitive, caring and polite throughout the process of collecting and looking after my mother, facilitating viewings in the chapel right up to the day of her burial. On the day of the funeral, Jason conducted the funeral very smoothly and was extremely kind, un-hurried and also very good at directing the family members in the process of carrying the coffin into the church and then to the grave after the service for my mother's committal. There were a large number of mourners and they were all very well organised, both inside and outside the church The funeral went very smoothly and we are very grateful to Down's, who did not disappoint us in this.

I’d like to thank all of the team at A.G. Down for their compassion, support, professionalism and smooth organisation for arranging the funeral of my very dear friend. Everything organised was exactly as my friend would have wished, it was beautiful. A particular mention to Jason - thank you. Our very experienced vicar also commented on how impressed he was with how Jason smoothly managed everything. I would have no hesitation recommending A.G. Down.

I'd like to thank the team at A G Down on behalf of our family for their support, compassion, smooth organisation and humanity in arranging the funeral of our beloved step mother. The day really could not have gone better. The Church looked wonderful, the flowers were perfect and the service was one of the most moving ones we have experienced. She would have loved it. Jason always responded swiftly to ongoing developments and handled them with a calm professionalism. Thank you again. We would have no hesitation in recommending A G Down. Martin
