We have been friends of previously the Marshalls and when they retired,then the Nichols’s who took over the Haynes name and business. Robert Nichols has been a family friend for many years and has also been a very caring and personal friend to my parents,living but a stones throw from them. Robert,dealt perfectly with my fathers funeral sixteen years ago,so there was never going to be a doubt,that he would deal with my mothers funeral.
Robert,although in semi retirement,had his son Ben taking the reins,who worked tirelessly and empathetically throughout my Mums funeral. Ben is a really nice and pleasant character and also very professional,just as his father was,the funeral he created,although a lot had been arranged by my mother before her death was a perfect send off for her.
Having myself,served in the forces and the emergency services,I have met many firms who deal with funerals,so far I would be hard pushed to recommend anyone as good as this family run firm

J Haynes provided an excellent service. The staff, Nigel, Ben, Emma and Jane were friendly, caring, compassionate and professional in all our dealings with them. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Knowing that they were there for us took a lot of the stress out of, what is, a very stressful situation. On the day of the funeral everything went very smoothly, for which we were very grateful. We would have no hesitation in recommending their service.
Response from J Haynes Funeral Directors
