— Sharon Blakey (about Jackie)

— Naomi Savage (about Jackie)
"Jon took care of every detail from start to finish and carried out all of our instructions exactly as requested, making an incredibly difficult time much easier for our family. Nothing was overlooked, and everything was handled with compassion, dignity, and professionalism — for both our mum's and dad's funerals."
— bayleaf2366 (about Jon)
"From the repatriation from the Evelina Children's Hospital in London back home to Northern Ireland when we were going through the most difficult time of our lives, to the erection of the headstone — I can't thank you enough. Many years have now passed and I still think about the amazing things you done for us."
— Andrew Cupples (about John and Jeffrey)
"I can't express enough how grateful I am for the compassionate service I received, particularly from Linda. She went above and beyond to ensure my mother-in-law's last wishes were carried out exactly as she had hoped. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering support made all the difference when I felt overwhelmed with grief."
— Beverlee Moag-walker (about Linda)
"I lost my husband unexpectedly and was devastated. Jackie kept in contact, supported me through the arrangements, guided me through the funeral process with great sensitivity. His pleasant manner and professionalism made my loss easier to bear. With Baird's help I was able to give my husband a perfect and dignified funeral that my family were proud of."
— Denise Montgomery (about Jackie)

The team were so well mannered, extremely professional and knowledgeable on all services offered. They were unbelievably kind, caring, supportive and so compassionate towards us and our family from the initial phone call to even now after the funeral they could not of done more to help us and absolutely nothing was too big of an ask for them either. I know they also offer payment plans for families who may struggle with such a large cost unexpectedly and I think this is excellent. I could not recommend Bairds anymore to help arrange such an important occasion.

We recently used Bairds Funeral Directors for both our mum’s and dad’s funerals, and the care, professionalism, and attention to detail shown throughout were outstanding. Jon took care of every detail from start to finish and carried out all of our instructions exactly as requested, making an incredibly difficult time much easier for our family. Nothing was overlooked, and everything was handled with compassion, dignity, and professionalism at all times. The level of support and reassurance we received throughout both funerals was exceptional, and we are truly grateful for the kindness and respect shown to our family. We would highly recommend Bairds Funeral Directors to anyone looking for a caring and professional service. R

I lost my husband unexpectedly and was devastated. I approached Baird's and they took over all the arrangements after meeting me. I was assigned a funeral arranger, Jackie. He kept in contact, supported me through the arrangements, guided me through the funeral process with great sensitivity. Hs pleasant manner and professionalism made my loss easier to bear. The Baird staff were very professional but also very approachable. They answered all my queries with great patience. I can't thank Jackie and the staff team enough for supporting me and my family through a difficult journey. With Baird's help I was able to give my husband a perfect and dignified funeral that my family were proud of.

I cannot speak highly enough of Joanne, William, Jackie & Geoffrey. They showed professionalism, dignity and respect to the entire family during the passing my father and on the day of the funeral the way that everything was done with respect and dignity. He would have been proud of how they all conducted themselves.
