H. Eaton & Son provided an excellent personal and professional service and made the process of organising our father's funeral easy and painless. They have consistently provided our family with excellent service over the years and it is with much thanks to Shirley, Lara and Chris for again stepping up to the mark again more recently. There were many praised comments following the funeral service and tea which is testament to the team at Eaton's and the service they provide.

In the run up to the funeral, Louise was professional, kind and considerate with exemplary attention to detail.Nothing was too much trouble. On the day, Chris and the team were professional and supportive on the day.The weather was foul and the traffic was extremely busy being the Friday before Christmas. I would not hesitate to recommend Eatons in the future.

Chris and the team were amazing. They made a very stressful and upsetting time, calm. They fully supported the family, ringing just to check on us- a practice that has continued after the funeral.
Their thoughtfulness was second to none, they take all the stress away, they found the perfect celebrant who was just wonderful. They treated my father with the upmost respect.
We as a family would recommend Chris and his team to anyone. The care, consideration, thoughtfulness and expertise made us very proud of the service that celebrated Cliff Harvey’s life, thank you.

Excellent service from start to finish with Chris and Angie from H Eatons for my mother’s recent funeral and I would recommend to all. From the start, they were sympathetic and open/ friendly yet professional. Chris suggested Skipton crematorium which I had not considered. It was ideal, enabling many who could not attend in person to watch via a webcast and was much nicer than many other crematoria. Chris was clear and helpful in guiding me through the process, listened to my wishes and I felt valued as a customer of H Eatons. It was easy to contact wither Chris or Angie - they would return my calls promptly if not immediately available.
It significantly helped ease the process of what is usually a sad occasion. Thoroughly recommend H Eatons.

Everything was arranged with such care, consideration and compassion, right down to the very last detail. I definitely felt that Mum was in the best hands.
When we saw her in the Chapel of Rest she looked lovely and that is a memory I will treasure.
Although it was a " lockdown" funeral it was beautiful. The suggestion have the longer part of it at Skipton crematorium was inspired. Mum would always have wanted a church service first, but I'm sure she would have loved the way it was done. We have had very positive feedback about the Live Stream too.
The care, both during and after by Chris was outstanding.
Thank you so much for all your help and kindness.

During these difficult sad times, the service we received from the funeral director and his secretary, really eased my anxiety and uncertainty.
They were very easy to talk to, helpful and understanding.
The celebrant provided was just perfect, and everything for mums funeral went to plan on the day, I had no worries at all.
Even though all preparations were done remotely, I still felt we were cared for very well, at this emotional time. Thank you
Response from H Eaton & Sons Funeral Directors

Would like to thank especially Chris Matthews for the care and consideration shown to my wife on her passing .
Chris is a friend of the family and obviously saw maria in better times .
Nothing was too much and the careful way he dealt with the information needed and help with registering the death and advice as tell once to inform agencies was very welcome , his attention to every detail was outstanding.
The organisation from church to cars flowers and filming the commemoration ,so relatives abroad could view was also appreciated ..Heatons did a fantastic service to us all and created a lovely service for my wife as well as could have been expected.
With heartfelt thanks to you all.
Ernest Hankins.
