My dad sadly passed away on the 12th of October 2022. H Dale funeral directors. Were very professional. Adele came out on the Monday to sort out everything. We told her what we wanted and Adele arranged everything for us. My dad had requested bagpipe music playing. Thanks to Adele we went one better and we actually had a bagpiper play at his funeral. We didn't want a religious funeral for him. Adele but us incontact with a lovely lady called nicola. He had a lovely service thanks to Adele and h Dale. Adele even put us in contact with a lady who dose memorial jewellery for myself and my daughters to have jewellery made with my mum's ashes. Adele really did go above and beyond for us and I would highly recommend Adele and h Dale

“A” dealt with organising my mother’s funeral in a very caring and efficient way. He dealt with organising everything we requested including the flowers, the celebrant, quotes and locations for the wake, the order of service. Any changes we requested were dealt with efficiently to ensure that the funeral was just as we wanted it to be. At what was naturally a distressing time for us, we were confident that we did not need to worry about the day of the funeral and that everything would run smoothly.

Very kind, caring and accommodating during the tough time. Any changes we needed for the service were met, we were very appreciative that family were allowed at the viewing with Covid complications.

The celebrant (Kim) was fantastic and so lovely to all the family and really made the service perfect.

All the staff assisted in remembering our lovely Jim and it really made a difference for our grieving process.

H. Dale provided a first class service from start to finish. At all times they were extremely patient, considerate and understanding, allowing me as much time as I needed to consider the options, and to discuss the arrangements. They really could not have done more to help. Everything was carried out exactly as discussed, down to the smallest detail, and to a very high standard, and their communication throughout was excellent. They really could not have done better, and I would not hesitate to recommend them highly.
Response from H. Dale Funeral Directors

THE QUALITY OF SERVICE WE RECEIVED RECENTLY FROM H DALES WAS OF THEIR USUAL HIGH STANDARD. PERFECT TIMING, SKILLED DRIVERS, GENUINE CONSIDERATION FOR FAMILY MEMBERS AND A TRULY PROFESSIONAL FUNERAL DIRECTOR. THIS WAS AT LEAST THE THIRD TIME WE HAVE USED DALES AND, AT THIS TIME,I CANNOT SEE US SEEING THE NEED TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
