Highly appreciate the professionalism and impeccable service provided by the company. Andrew answered the call immediately and arrived at the house within 2 hours. I must say that it is a very impressive response. Also, provided professional advice and guidance for the required documents, etc. In addition, guided us through the whole process and provided advice on planning the funeral according to our requirements. Highly recommend the company for highly effective exceptional service with professionalism at every level with required professional support and help.
Cannot thank you enough for everything regarding my Mums funeral. From start to finish you put myself and my family at ease, no question felt silly and you spent time listening to ensure everything was covered and was correct and made suggestions where necessary. I dealt with both Stuart and Andrew and felt comfortable and at ease whilst arranging one of the hardest things in life. I remember feeling quite overwhelmed but you were always there to listen and Mums funeral from start to finish was perfect.
Stuart and the team were professional, compassionate, supportive and respectful. They were wonderful with my brother and partner and, as I was officiating for a beloved family member, a source of strength on the day. I felt confident that all would run smoothly.
I would like to thank Stuart for looking after us during this sad time. I would certainly recommend The affordable Funeral Company. They were so professional and gave us the support we needed. Thank you very much.
We had my lovely Dad cremated on Friday 29th May. I had been recommended to Stuart at the Affordable Funeral Services in Audenshaw by a friend of mine! We wasn’t disappointed! The service that Stuart and his team provided was amazing! They lead us through the process with a friendly and professional approach! Making sure everything was covered, made us feel at ease at a very difficult time! They looked after my Dad and treated him with dignity and respect! On the day of the funeral it went very smoothly! Can’t thank them enough for what they did for us! So professional! Thanks once again I will be recommending you to everyone. Many thanks Carole Doherty
