The whole team were brilliant. Anna was really kind and helpful when we went to make the arrangements for the funeral. Subsequent communication with Jackie was very good too. The team on the day were very respectful, considerate and helped us get through a difficult day as best as possible.

Jackie, Anna & Doug were all very professional, sympathetic & helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more. They were all so lovely.

All members of the team were very helpful, treated my Dad with respect and made sure that everything ran smoothly and according to our wishes. They took the time to make sure that my Mum was comfortable during the service and were really attentive. I was particularly touched to notice Anna at the door of the office as the cortège passed by. Haven made a very difficult day easier by knowing that all our wishes were accommodated.

Haven provided, care, compassion and a good service at a difficult time. The communication throughout was respectful, informative, and we were guided through the relevant paperwork and any options were clearly explain to us. On the day of the funeral they adapted to last minute changes and carried out our wishes with dignity.

I highly recommend Haven Funeral Services. Brian and Jackie were an immense help at a incredibly difficult time. We felt they had our best interests at heart and they helped us in arrangements of our sons funeral. They delivered their service with compassion, communicated well and importantly, they did what they said they would. Thank you to the team at Haven.
