We have been using yeatmans for over 35 years on a few sad occasions & We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to everyone at Yeatmans for looking after us and our late mother in the last few weeks, Especially Claire for her hard work and helping us getting things done in a short space of time. Also Sherran as the funeral director was amazing and on point. This has been a very sad and difficult time for us as a family, and having the support of the team at Yeatmans made it a bit easier 🙏🏿

PATRICIA MORGAN POOLE INDEPENDENT REVIEW 24th APRIL 2025 For the help and kindness given at the time needed most At the time when my wife Patricia (Sue) passed away from cancer I was aware that the only funeral directors to be used was Yeatmans Albert Road Poole due to the fact both of Patricia’s parents funerals had been handled with the greatest of care and supervision. Having to go to there office to meet Vicky and the team, they were extremely professional, and very caring and efficient. Sitting down with Vicky who was patient and made everything more bearable and all was explained in a very slow and calm manner. THANK YOU On the day of the cremation Yeatmans were extremely professional all arrangements that they made where exceptional as the Hearst the flower’s the timing and the cars along with the very smart dress code THANK YOU. At the Bournemouth chapel Yeatmans had made all the arrangements creating the perfect and loving ceremony for Patricia. THANK YOU Yeatmans had arranged for a celebrant to relay our thoughts and emotions to all, this was a lady from Cherished Moments this lady had the voice of an angel. Once again thank you Yeatmans .
