What families say

"As Hindus, we wanted our religion and culture to be respected, which Grant and his team did very well. From finding us a hall to ensuring all religious parts of the funeral were done, they honestly made us feel at ease. They were caring, compassionate and personal."

— Isha Paul (about Grant)

"From the very first phone call, they made everything feel calm and manageable, guiding us with patience and genuine care. They gave my Mum a truly beautiful farewell, and for that I will always be grateful. Without doubt, they are the best in what they do."

— stewart jones

"It's more than a business to them — it's a true service with a truly personal touch. When my time comes, County Funerals is the only place I'll want to look after me. Thank you all so much for the love and compassion you give to all in your care."

— Andy Sawyer (about Grant)

"Even during the funeral service itself when my 3 year old started kicking off, Grant took it upon himself to look after him and play games outside so I could read my speech. We never felt rushed, always felt we had a choice every step of the way and always felt Grandad was in the best hands."

— K S SwimSchool (about Grant)

"It's not just the wonderful warm welcome we got every time, the copious cups of tea, biscuits or cheeky whisky offered, but the small things — stapling our letters in the roof of the coffin so dad had them to 'look' at, the music playing when we visited dad. The good mornings and good nights shared with our loved ones. And then playing 'the floor is lava' with my 3 year old grandson. What a very special team."

— Karen Brennan (about Nikki)

"As soon as we entered their small but intimate office/lounge we felt comfortable. The team instantly settled our worries and fears. Their empathy and palpable care of our Father was so touching we just knew his body was now safe, honoured and cared for. Donna is an amazing authentic empathetic woman she instantly felt like family."

⭐️Would highly recommend county funerals. ⭐️ Very professional compassionate and supportive staff who do their best to accommodate requests and offer a beautiful send off for your loved one! Nothing is ever too much to ask and they offer personal touches you may not even think of also have very reasonable prices. I went to another funeral run by a different well known directors and was shocked by the lack of compassion from all the staff! I will always use county funerals to be able to provide my loved ones with a send off they deserve! ❤️

Grant and his team are absolutely amazing. We lost our grandmother recently, and was the first death in our immediate family. We were lost with what to do with the funeral and were recommended for County funerals by a colleague. As Hindus, we wanted our religion culture to be respected, which Grant and his team did very well. From finding us a hall to ensuring all religious parts of the funeral were done they honestly made us feel at ease. They were caring, compassionate and personal. I would highly recommend them and we can’t thank them enough for easing the stress from us during this difficult time.

Grant and his team are absolutely fantastic. I have had attended more than one by county funerals team and always with such personal touches. The team show huge compassion and professionalism even when the loved one is close to them. I can't thank the team enough for the support when I needed them it's the first funeral I've had to be involed in the organization of before the passing these guys fully supported and guided with everything from start to finish and if I was to pick up the phone they would still be there to support. It's more than a business to them it's a true service with a truly personal service. When my time comes county funerals is the only place il want to look after me. Thank you all so much for love and compassion you give to all in your care.

So before losing our loved one Grant visited and took his time to talk things through to ensure they were happy with funeral arrangements made. Ameilia made her self available 24/7 to talk and advise where needed.From then Sandra and Jasmine cared and looked after them so well we can't thank them enough for this. Then Neil and Jeff on the day also for looking after our loved one and us as a family. Even after the funeral the after care was still there which is so lovely. Chosing County funerals was the best service in such difficult times they go above and beyond to support and give your loved ones the send off they deserve and nothing is too much for them. They really are an amazing team who treat you like a family member when in their funeral home. Thank you all so much from us as a family.

Grant and his team have recently handled my mother’s funeral arrangements, having also done so for my fathers a few years prior. Everything was done with care and professionalism. They were with us very quickly to assist as she passed away at home and coordinated with the coroners also. They were very accommodating for viewing at the chapel of rest which was conducted in a calm and respectful atmosphere. All arrangements with the church, stone masons etc were made quickly with clear communication throughout and overall nothing was too much. Staff and service at the funeral were also exemplary and they ensured clear communication throughout with patience and care. My mum had a funeral plan with County funerals, something which I’d fully recommend as it made the process for the family easier. Overall County funerals provide a brilliant, respectful and individually tailored service and are very fairly priced, handling difficult times with utmost care. Whilst it’s a service we often hope not to need again soon, I would fully recommend them to help with your loved ones arrangements or indeed to make your own funeral plans with.

"Genuine care and exceptional service at a very reasonable price I could have asked for more ."

I don’t normally write reviews but county funerals have now done my step dads and most recently my mums funerals , and I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust anybody else in looking after my loved ones. They are extremely professional but at the same time the most caring company I have ever dealt with . nothing was to much, from collecting Mum to the burial and even after the support felt genuine, they actually care it’s not just a business. Grant, Amelia and the rest of the team I can’t thank you enough you made some of my darkest days more bearable I hope I don’t need your services any time soon but it’s a comfort knowing if I ever do I can trust you completely. Thank you so much
