What families say about us

Rated 4.8 / 5 based on 36 reviews.

Rated 5 / 5

From the initial call to A Haxby & Sons on the death of my mum, the whole team showed immense care, respect and empathy.

Melvin guided me expertly through every decision and all the arrangements were handled with kindness, precision and professionalism.

A few adjustments to the traditional order of events were organised easily by the team and nothing was too much trouble.

On the day of the funeral everything ran smoothly, and personal touches were noted with thanks. I am grateful for the exceptional care shown by A Haxby & Sons and would wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Haxby's of Filey provide a very comforting blend of calm, dignified, knowledgeable management and guidance of your funeral needs.

I had some quite specific funeral requirements needing coordination between two different funeral directors and long distance transportation. Haxby's seamlessly managed all of this for me. Being part of the network of Dignity Funeral Directors was key to this.

I also thought they provided a very honest and reasonable price for the professional service they provided.
