Deric Scott Funeral Directors

I would like to say a big Thank You for all you did for my Mum's funeral and the support and kindness you gave to the family. From the time we first came to you to start arranging the funeral and throughout, to the day of the funeral and after, the team showed great care, kindness and professionalism at all times. On our first visit we met Jackie who sat with us to talk things through, giving us quality time and in a non rushed manner during a very difficult and upsetting time. The kind words, support and hugs meant so much each time we visited and the gentle pace you took to get us through all the stages of the planning of Mums funeral. Also the follow up phone calls of support were such a nice touch. It was nice to know that Mum would be in safe hands and treated with dignity and respect from when she was picked up from the hospital and taken back to Deric Scott and looked after until day of funeral. Jackie also phoned to let us know when Mum arrived with them from the hospital, such a reassuring and comforting gesture to know she arrived safely. We wanted a Spiritulist service at Mums funeral and Jackie new of a celebrate called Martin Jones who could do this and put us in touch with him. Martin met with us to create a service of life. On the day of the funeral Martin and the team showed professionalism and compassion to our Mum and the whole family. The funeral ran smoothly and they kept checking we were all ok, especially as it was the hotest day of the year and kept us supplied with water. Nothing was too much trouble especially when we had too many flowers. The service given by Martin Jones would have been just as Mum would have wanted and the whole family agreed. We were given plenty of time after the funeral in a non rushed manner to look at flowers and to compose ourselves, before they drove us to the Pavillion Arms for the wake. I would recommend Deric Scott to anyone having to arrange a funeral, as they give 100% care and support to all and explain everything in an easy and clear way, and at a nice slow pace that suits the family.

We chose Deric Scott for my beloved father’s funeral and the first point of contact was Jackie, she was very kind and helpful and put us at ease about the funeral process. All the staff were caring, excellent and very professional and we felt our father was very respectfully treated. Kindest Regards, The Ergun Family.

We used Deric-Scott for my Dad's funeral in 2010 and we were very happy so it was natural for me to return when my Mum passed away. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted for my lovely Mum's funeral and Jackie helped me achieve everything on my list and more. We were lucky enough to already count our celebrant, Sally, as a close personal friend of Mum's but if that hadn't been the case I am confident that a suitable person would have been suggested. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Deric-Scott's team, they are compassionate, highly professional and friendly. 5 * easily! To Jackie, Martyn and the team, thank you all, very much. ❤❤

We would like to thank Deric Scott Funeral Directors from the bottom of our hearts for handling my beloved Father’s funeral in such a smooth efficient and compassionate manner. It was an extremely distressing time for me and Jackie was just so kind and caring and supportive and helped me through the arrangements in an unhurried way. It’s never easy arranging a parent’s funeral but it eased the burden somewhat to speak to Jackie and she provided support in terms of guidance and next steps needed from me as well as handling the arrangements, liaising with the church, printing out the orders of service, and helping arrange the wake. My Grandad’s funeral was arranged through them so I knew we’d be in good hands, from the first call to them, through to the very end after the event, everything was arranged with minimum fuss and excellent communication throughout. The location is extremely peaceful and a lovely building, and visiting Dad prior to his send off was also very comforting and handled the utmost dignity, kindness and empathy. Martyn and his team were also brilliant on the day and we had a well planned and thoughtful route for his send off in their beautiful Rolls Royce cars, my Dad would have been very proud. Thanks so much again from us all.

Not a review I ever imagined I would be writing, but I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Jackie and Gary for their incredible support, patience, and compassion in organising my father’s service. At such a difficult time, their calm guidance and kindness made everything feel manageable. A special thank you to Gary for taking the time to truly listen to our stories and memories, and for shaping a service that felt deeply personal and meaningful to our family. I cannot recommend Deric Scott highly enough. We felt supported and cared for every step of the way 🙏
