Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

All staff who we contacted by phone were excellent. There was a funeral plan in place, your representative visited the house to fully explain the scope of the plan and additional services which were available if required. Your team had an excellent knowledge of the clergy and personnel at the Coroners office which were invaluable. Whilst Priestley & Cockett are part of a national business, they gave a personal service which was appreciated. We recently had a family funeral conducted by the local major competitor and your service was streets ahead of theirs. Please extend our thanks to all concerned, and in particular to those who attended on the day.

This was the second time that Priestley & Crockett had carried out a funeral for a member of my family. The whole experience from beginning to end was carried out in a very dignified and professional manner on both occasions. Everything was explained and well organised and they were very helpful if my family or myself had any questions or queries. I have been extremely satisfied with the services of Priestley & Crockett.

My 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 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
On the day itself we were met by Dan at the church and he made what would have been a traumatic day into a day that we could concentrate on the funeral of our loved one as everything else was done on our behalf.
I would highly recommend Priestly and Cockett

From my first contact with Priestley & Cockett right through to my dear friends funeral and after, I couldn't have wished for a more appropriate send off for Carole (exactly how she would have wanted it).
All the staff members were very professional and caring, talking me through every step of the way.
I would like to thank them for the photo of Carole and the lovely memory box. Little touches that mean a lot.
Thank you for your kindness,
Kind Regards, Rosalie Brammer.
