What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Funeral Directors Newcastle earns consistent praise for the compassion and professionalism shown by its team. Philip, Helen and Richard are named repeatedly, with families appreciating their warm, courteous and attentive manner. The coordination of arrangements is a recurring theme: death announcements, transport, contact with a vicar, music, flowers and orders of service were all handled on the family's behalf. Several customers describe how the practical burden was lifted, allowing relatives to grieve with less stress.

Cremations and burials are both covered, including a service in Northumberland and a burial in Heaton. The fairness of the fees is noted in more than one account, alongside the expertise with which each detail was managed. Reviewers mention that no request proved too much trouble, and that every aspect was treated with respect. One family has returned for four relatives since 2000, and another for both parents, which suggests a dependable standard maintained over time. The tributes point to careful organisation combined with genuine kindness when it mattered most.

Phillip and Helen were both so incredibly helpful, professional and caring. I've used them for both of my parents" send offs, 1 a cremation in Northumberland and a recent lovely service and burial in Heaton. Nothing was too much trouble, took loads of stress away from us by organising and coordinating everything from death announcements to transport to Contacting a vicar, music, flowers, orders of service, it was all expertly done for us. And such lovely genuinely caring people too. Very highly recommended. I can't thank you enough.
