"My Mum died in 1964 and my Dad used Ison's. It seemed fitting to use them again. I was guided through this difficult time compassionately and professionally. I think my Dad would have been proud."
— Christine Huber
"Nothing was too much trouble and kept me up to date with arrangements at all times. Thank you to all the staff at the Binley Road Branch but especially Victoria and Anna for your compassion and understanding at this difficult time."
— Amanda Martin (about Victoria)
"They were so kind and compassionate and helped us give mum the best send off at the end of a life well lived. They delivered mums funeral wishes on point."
— Penny G (about Jeanette)
"Trisha, Anna and Victoria went above and beyond for our family making sure all our mothers wishes were met. They really made it easy for us as a family to organise the funeral and were extremely respectful, such a lovely team."

"Elizabeth is very compassionate and caring and went the extra mile to ensure that our dad had the perfect send off that we wished for.

— Grace Downing (about Elizabeth)
"My Mum said to me afterwards that she felt very safe with Darren and knew that he would tell her exactly what to do with so much respect and dignity. Thank you Henry Ison & Sons for making a very difficult day less stressful and for being there every step of the way."

Anna was lovely and very thorough going through the booking and confirming all the arrangements. Trish was also really helpful at responding to queries and always came back to me really quickly. All of the team on the day were very professional and couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. The team made a difficult time as easy as it could be.
