I thought they were absolutely brilliant at making sure everything ran smoothly. I could not thank them enough for their kindness and efficiency at what is a very sad and difficult time. Thank you.

For my dad’s funeral, Hooley, Watson & Buckley were great from the very start. All the staff were very friendly,, they arranged multiple viewings for all family members. They sorted everything for us, flowers, etc, appointed a first class celebrant for us. nothing was too much trouble. They turned a day that we were not looking forward to, into a lovely memorable send off for my dad, would highly recommend them
