“Martin helped us every step of the way — the respect not only for my mother-in-law but for my husband and myself was brilliant. This was our fourth funeral using Squires Undertakers and we don't see any reason why we would change.” — lesley w.

“Squires are that rare and wonderful combination of warm, caring, helpful people and at the same time 100% professional. Their support, especially in a pandemic with all the added angst and changing restrictions, was exactly what we needed to get us through such an important and emotional event.” — Caroline W.

“It was so reassuring to see Steph on the day having discussed the plans with her in the office. The service ran smoothly, we didn't feel rushed or pressured. Friends and family felt the tone was perfect — casual, relaxed and an informal celebration of my dad's life.” — Julie H.

“We first became aware of Mitchells when the funeral director gladly stepped in to lead the service when the vicar unfortunately did not arrive. Steph and Sophia were awesome from the start — welcoming, knowledgeable and tolerant of my requests. Their recommendations turned out to be spot on and on the day the funeral went perfectly.” — Chris K.
