Dean and his team are so professional and showed nothing but compassion and kindness.
Dean, Anna-Marie and all the team went above and beyond to make it a special and meaningful service for my partner on 23/1/25.
I would highly recommend Dean Harper Funeral Services they handled everything with grace and professionalism, nothing was to much trouble.
Thank you so much to everyone involved you were incredible from start to finish.
We used Dean Harper's for my mother in-law's funeral in Jan 2025. From the very start all the staff we dealt with, we're all compassionate, considerate and very understanding.
From the very first contact they helped and guided us all the way through the difficult choices we had to make as a family. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
We would highly recommend Dean and his team to others.
Losing my beloved only child has been the worst experience of my life especially as it happened suddenly and unexpectedly.
I do not know how I would have coped without the care, support and professionalism of Dean and his team.
From the first phone call to Dean my family and I could not have been in better hands. Dean came to my home and talked me through a process at a time when I was at my lowest point. His calm, thoughtful and commited presence made Dan's final journey so dignified and I cannot thank him and his team enough.
When our mother passed away, the staff at Dean Harper Funeral Directors treated our father and us, her children, with the utmost compassion and respect. All aspects of arranging the funeral were conducted with professionalism and efficiency, and we received a lot of help with the various decisions that had to be made.
The funeral was conducted as efficiently as the arrangements had been, from pickup to drop off at the wake.
Dean Harper and his team are so professional and take care of every detail. I am so grateful to them. The day of my father's funeral was simply overwhelming but at every moment we knew where to go and what to do. My father would have been very impressed!
My sister and I talked to Dean Harper about having a small intimate funeral for our mom with just our 2 families. He tailored it perfectly for us, and Anna-Marie made us so comfortable talking about our memories of mom, and the funny times we had growing up, we even had a laugh. We would highly recommend Dean Harper funeral services. Best wishes to all the team.
Used Dean Harper before, and again recently for my mother's funeral. Absolutely exceptional services provided by all staff and drivers. Special mention to Dean himself, Carrie and Anna - they are so accommodating and respectful. I would highly recommend them to others if in need of their services - top class professionalism.
We chose Dean Harper for my mother in laws funeral care based on the glowing reviews we read here and the transparency of their website. We cannot thank Dean Harper enough for the care and consideration they took when talking us through everything and helping with what was needed and what to do next as it were. Particular thanks go to Liam and Anna-Marie who were with us at the funeral and Anna-Marie who took such care to write a fantastic story for my mother in law Sheila. Though such a sad day for us all, we will remember the fantastic service and kindness shown by all the people that we had contact with at Dean Harpers, knowing that with their help, my mother in law had a beautiful send off.
