We could not have wished for better service than that provided by Mears for our dear sister’s funeral in March. They treated her with the dignity and respect we felt she deserved. From the beginning their staff were so caring and made us feel we were able to contact them at any time. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

I went to BH Mears to organise my Dad's funeral. Spoke to Trish. She was brilliant, explained everything in detail and suggested different options on various things. Her guidance, advice and willingness to help was second to none. I know I did my Dad proud.

Really please with the standard that B H Mears gave with our mums funeral. The team were very helpful, empathic, sincere and handle the situation with great care, Mum used B H Mears for previous family members and I am glad we choose to use them for her. The service ran smoothly. The celebrant Nick who was highly recommended was exceptionally thoughtful and the whole process felt very personal to us as a family. We would recommend B H Mears and Nick.

We could not fault the service and care we had from Martin and Sandra. They went that extra mile and were very caring every visit we made.
They were very helpful and had time for us didn’t rush any visit while we were there.
They were both very professional and very friendly towards us always made us feel welcome and that nothing was too much trouble.
They made us feel very reassured about the actual day of the funeral and that everything would be in place, and it was.
Could not fault anything and would definitely recommend to everyone for their wonderful service.

We felt that we were in safe hands having not had to deal with a death for many years. They were a local company, they quickly answered the phone and advised us when ever we had a question. They also explained options, costs, suggestions and protocols. My father had selected a "gold" funeral package and BH Mears were able to include some extras. It ran very smoothly on the day and we could concentrate on speaking to family members who were allowed (Covid rules) to attend, knowing the overall running of the day was sorted.
Response from B H Mears Funeral Directors
Thank you for your review. I am happy that the pre-paid funeral plan made it easier to arrange the service for your Father. We have been working hard to maintain our high standards of care in these challenging times and it's great to know that we succeeded in doing so.

From the moment Martin collected my mother from her home he displayed an absolute professional manner - caring, respectful, informative and made the whole process very easy. The funeral under the management of Martin from the later discussion as to what we required and guidance to point us in the right direction, directing proceedings at the crematorium were performed to a very high standard.
I have no hesitation in recommending Martin and B H Mears.

I was worried that arranging my Mothers funeral would be difficult for me. Mum died in a care home 250 miles from where I live and the cremation would take place 130 miles away. I did have one face to face meeting with Sandra at B H Mears and the rest was done by telephone, email and text. Sandra and Martin both helped and advised me through all the arrangements and especially with the actual service and timings. I was very pleased and happy that Mum had had a good sendoff. Many of the other mourners spoke to me afterwards and said how well it had all gone.
I did also have one unusual request which again they were able to comply with.

The service we received was perfect from start to end and a follow up phone call. My father had prepared which made our lives so much easier. It was such good service that a member of my extended family pre-bought her own funeral, and I will be doing the same
