exceptional service .I lost my beloved brother to Covid-19 on the 3rd of April and was devastated to learn i wouldn't even get to say goodbye after hes passing due to restrictions. All i wanted to do was say goodbye to him and see him one last time and my wishes were granted once i spoke to the lovely Natasha.She dressed him in he's best suit and he seemed to have a beautiful smile on hes face which gave me some much needed comfort.Dearest Natasha i will be forever grateful to you for what you done and for looking after my brother the way you did.I will recommend you in a heart beat.God Bless

Collins Funeral Directors were professional in every way - and arranged everything just as we wanted as a family. Natasha was super in organising and bringing things together - and also kind and compassionate. Barry the Funeral Director on the day ensured everything was flawless - as did the gentlemen with him. The horse team and drivers were magnificent. Can`t speak highly enough. It was just the funeral my Dad would have wanted.

I found Collins after months of researching Undertakers and met Barry last year who talked us through the options. He didn't try to sell us any plans (as many undertakers wanted to). My mother passed away a few weeks ago, so naturally we contacted Collins. We dealt with Natasha, she was the calm voice on the phone providing support, advice and outstanding customer service - nothing was ever too much trouble for her. All queries were dealt with quickly. Due to Covid-19 restrictions were in place. Natasha kept us updated every step of the way with the ever-changing Government guidelines. On the day of Mum's funeral, all members of staff involved on the day carried out their duties with the utmost respect and professionalism. As a team caring for our loved ones, and supporting our family, Collins pulled out the stops and did Mum proud. Thank you. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

At the most difficult time in my families life, Natasha is absolutely amazing. The excellent service we got was 100% and her care and compassion was flawless. She provided us with so much care and support leaving us not feeling stressed. Natasha took care of absolutely everything throughout. Her service is 100% and we can not fault anything at all which is what you require at these very difficult times. We highly recommend Collins Funeral Directors as Natasha will help you and take care of you from the beginning.Lorraine wilson

I have looked everywhere to leave a review on this company and I’m happy I can finally leave one .This company are fantastic the compassion and support was just what I needed after sadly loosing my father a month ago ... our dealings were with the lovely Natasha and I’m so pleased we met her . Her compassion towards me was incredible and will never forget that . I never felt rushed and every question I had was answered, I new my father was in the right hands as soon as I met her and she never once let me down even after I changed the order of service 15 times ! The gentleman on the day were superb so friendly and very accommodating I can’t thank them enough . Collins funerals I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me I will never forget it . Natasha and the team are a credit to Collins and I will recommend them to everyone, Once again Thank you so much .
