based on 20 Reviews- Rating 5.021 June 2019My fathers funeral was dealt with great compassion and empathy and our dealings with Ruth who made all the arrangements was exceptional she took great care to make sure everything was as we wanted it. She ensured that she explained everything fully regarding the arrangements and I cannot fault her attention to detail. The Celebrant Gemma gave a wonderful service and captured my father life down to a t! David on the day took great care of my mother and made sure everything went smoothly and unhurriedly. So thank you Priestly and Cocket for taking care of us all

We are glad that we were respectful of your needs at such a difficult time and that all of your wishes and requirements were carried out by the team as you had requested. - Rating 5.019 June 2019We mainly dealt with two members of staff: Dan and Ruth
We were given all the information we needed and advised about anything we were not certain of

- Rating 5.017 October 2018From the moment we walked in we felt looked after by the whole team of people. Ruth explained everything to us and what would be needed from us. David was caring, taking time to remember us from a previous time we had used their services. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone from us visiting the chapel of rest out of work hours to the service on the day. The order of service was personal,Ruth even suggested a Vulcan plane as this was an important part of Keith’s life. The large photo of Keith at the service was a wonderful surprise and a welcome one for us. Thank you. I would and have recommended their services to others as it made a sad occasion more bearable.

- Rating 5.013 October 2018My first contact with Priestley and Crockett (P&C) was in 1980 as they handled my fathers funeral. Mum was suitably impressed and requested I use them when her time came. Sadly the time to reacquaint myself with this company came in September 2018 following my mums death. Although a different company now I have nothing but praise for the current (P&C). The family received a first class service and I know my mum would have been proud of the professional service she had. I dealt with David and Ruth, both were excellent and so helpful. They managed to be professional and compassionate at the same time. The whole experience although incredibly sad and difficult was made easier by these two lovely people. I would not hesitate to recommend P&C to anyone. Thank you.Response on behalf of Priestley & Cockett Funeral Directors15 October 2018Thank you for taking the time to send your online review to us.
