I can't speak highly enough of the team. They were kind, thoughtful
and the attention to detail was second to none.
I highly recommend them.

Yeatmans funeral directors with Vicky and the whole crew doing a fabulous job with my mum's funeral, Mum chose Yeatmans her self and I'm glad she did! Made it all run smoothly with a couple of nice extra touches on top, also Carol the celebrant was excellent and gave a lovely and moving service. So thank you to all !

I chose Yatemans whilst helping to plan for my late father's funeral. They have been very supportive throughout the process, which has been very comforting having never dealt with such matters beforehand. The whole process of dealing with the bereavement, finalising the funeral itself, including the Celebrant was seamless & always dealt with compassionately. We had many positive comments from the family after the service, making what is a difficult & emotional occasion, one where we as a family could focus entirely on the event & our own emotions.
