Laura and her team were excellent in every way, particularly Rebecca Smith who looked after our account. She went above and beyond in every aspect of customer care and made it so easy for us at this difficult time. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you Dawe Bros.

My family and I have used the services of The Dawes Brothers Hereford twice in the past 18 months for the sad passing of our father in October 2024 and now in April 2026 for our beloved mum. Each occasion the funerals could not have been more different from each other as we were following the individual wishes of both our parents and yet the service we received for both were exceptional. They are highly professional, respectful, and they supported us to feel comfortable valued included in all the planning and preparations of both funerals. They considered all our wishes and those of our late departed parents and as a result we were able to give them both the perfect farewell and the service was tailored to each of them individually. We had many guests remark on how beautiful the services were and so fitting for them, especially for our Mother who had a wonderful natural woodland burial at Humber Woodland. They took care of everything for us with such ease and grace and made such a sad time for us, all the better as it could not have gone more perfectly. Thank you Laura, Becky and all the team at Dawes Brothers and also to our wonderful celebrant Mark for leading the services too, between you all, you made everything go so smoothly for us thank you for working so well with us to make our parents proud on their special celebration of their life. Best wishes from all of us X
