TW Birks & Son funeral Directors in Holmfirth directed my Mothers Funeral December 2022.
Their professionalism was outstanding, from the first phone call to the end. They dealt with each step with sincere sympathy and advised us of everything required to achieve a successful funeral. Even being on hand on Christmas Eve which was required. Everything was addressed with the utmost respect and as promised.
I would certainly recommend TW Birks should anyone have the misfortune of loosing someone dear.
With particular thanks to Samantha a lovely, friendly, professional, sympathetic, knowledgeable and approachable Director.
Many thanks Samantha - TW Birks

All the staff were very professional and very helpful at all times. In particular Fiona helped and advised me in a quiet, gentle and caring way throughout the whole process and especially on the day of the funeral itself.
Fiona listened to our thoughts and feelings as a family and advised us accordingly even making suggestions we had not thought of and on the day she guided us all along in a very professional way.

Dealing with my mother in laws funeral arrangements were made so much easier with the personal help of Fiona. Fiona’s guidance & recommendations locally was especially appreciated. T W Birks are a fabulous family business that cares very much for the families that choose them to deal with the arrangements of a loved one that has passed.

So kind and helpful, even telephoned me a number of times to see how I was coping, so easy to talk to, like we had been friends for years, went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. Beautiful funeral home, lovely private room for me to sit in to say my private goodbye. Shame I am not allowed to name this lovely lady who took care of me.

Would recommend to anyone. Listened to what we wanted made good recommendations but were just quietly supportive in the back ground without being overwhelming

From the very start the service we received was amazing. Philip made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and no question or request was too silly. They genuinely cared about our mum and took an interest in her interests etc which helped plan the perfect day for mum and it was just what she would have wanted. On the day the respect shown not only to mum but us all was outstanding and we can not thank Philip enough as he genuinely helped us through a sad time and we even all had a smile on our faces .. we will be eternally thankful for all the help received katie, tracey and family

Martin and the staff provided an excellent service at a very difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody, the cost was no more than you would pay for a similar but certainly not as caring or attentive service as we received.

There was nothing that I would have changed or anything more I could have asked for.

Thank you for helping our family through the difficult task of planning a wonderful tribute to my Mum.

Philip Wilson was very helpful and sympathetic when my wife passed away after a very short and aggressive cancer. I particularly appreciated his understanding when the family asked if we could purchase the wicker coffin ourselves and decorate it with greenery as we were arranging a woodland burial. He also liaised with the Rose Hill Natural Burial Ground on our behalf which saved us time and worry in a very difficult time for us all.
Response from T W Birks & Son Funeral Directors
It has been an honour to look after you and your Wife and to respond sensitively to your specific needs. Your kind words mean a great deal to Philip and the rest of the team who always work very hard to deliver great care.
