Dean Harper funeral Directors - absolutely amazing we honestly can't thankyou enough! From start to finish you had taken the time to listen, recommend, come up with the best solution for us as a family and our loved ones celebration of life. Angela and Michelle thank you for being so patient and putting everything together perfectly. You always took the time to call or email and doublecheck on everything and make sure we were happy as a family. Everything went to plan And Dean himself guided us through the whole day, which was brilliant. We never felt rushed and the day went smoothly. Dean was thoughtful patience and so understanding to us as a family. Dean helped my Nan with her wheelchair, he taken the time to sit down and have a chat with my mum to make sure she was okay throughout the day. He reassured us all as a family that everything was to plan. And it was beyond our expectations!! Everything we asked for was perfect, and we can't thank you enough. You and your team are amazing, compassionate and so professional and we will definitely use your services again and recommend you to others 100% Zureena and JanePosted on Google![]()

They were there for every step of the procedure no issues was problem for them I must also thank Angela for cleaning up some of the photos for the order of service brochure and not forgetting vicar Martyn jinx who gave a wonderful eulogy of my father.

This funeral director was recommended to us and have to say we were very impressed with everything from start to finish of what could have been an emotionally challenging day; but due to the professionalism and empathy of all at Dean Harper the day was lifted out of sheer sadness and enabled to reflect the life of a special person so beautifully.Posted on Google![]()

From the moment we called until the point that all our questions were answered and the funeral was over Dean Harper and his team were amazing. Everyone was kind and helpful and without that awful “I’m so sorry”you get so much when your loved one passes away - it was heartfelt and meaningful from them. Nothing was too much trouble when making arrangements and the day of the funeral was beautiful, again talked you through, it was at our pace, and looked after my mum so well. The celebrant was brilliant. It’s not something you ever want to recommend but unfortunately we will all need a funeral director- these were the best!Posted on Google![]()

From the first phone call with Dean Harpers Funeral Directors we knew they were the right people to put our trust in during this difficult time. Anna was supportive and empathetic, she helped us through making difficult decisions providing us with advice and guidance. On the day Dean and the team talked us through every moment bringing us comfort and allowing us to have time to say our goodbyes. We would like to give our heart felt thanks to Dean, Anna and all of the team for making such a difficult day a little bit easier.Posted on Google![]()
