"At such a traumatic time in life it feels good to have a team of friends holding your hand and guiding you through. They show such compassion, empathy and respect. True professionals giving the human touch."
— June Bottomer
"Dean helped my Nan with her wheelchair, he taken the time to sit down and have a chat with my mum to make sure she was okay throughout the day. He reassured us all as a family that everything was to plan. And it was beyond our expectations!!"
— Nina (about Dean)
"Even on the morning of Mum and Dad's funerals, he called to make sure we were all coping, confirmed the arrangements for the day, and reassured us that everything was in hand. That simple gesture meant a great deal to our family."
— Sharon Campkin (about Dean)
"After the loss of our 10 year old daughter... the care and support Dean and his team have shown us has been nothing short of amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure that Eva had the perfect send off. On the day itself I was understandably very upset and anxious but Dean was there to support and guide me through it as gently as possible."
— Holly Williams (about Dean)
"To say Dean, Anna Marie and all the staff at Dean Harper went above and beyond is an understatement. Anna Marie was exceptional — she hosted the service and spoke about our daughter with such compassion. Spent as much time as we wanted with her as she wanted to get it spot on, and didn't she just. Never felt rushed."
— Nick Lucas (about Anna Marie)
"After the loss of my sister... Anna Marie took the time to learn all about my sister and took note of all the details which showed when she led the service, which was the most beautiful tribute. Nothing was too much trouble for all at Dean Harper. The little details that meant a lot to us as a family, became a priority for them. When you lose someone you love so much, it can be hard to trust people to care for them before and during their final journey. We trusted them completely."
— Nickie Lucas (about Anna Marie)

From the first phone call with Dean Harpers Funeral Directors we knew they were the right people to put our trust in during this difficult time. Anna was supportive and empathetic, she helped us through making difficult decisions providing us with advice and guidance. On the day Dean and the team talked us through every moment bringing us comfort and allowing us to have time to say our goodbyes. We would like to give our heart felt thanks to Dean, Anna and all of the team for making such a difficult day a little bit easier.

Dean Harper was the funeral director for both our mum and dad, and we genuinely wouldn’t have chosen anyone else. From the very first meeting, Dean and his team treated us with kindness, compassion, and the utmost professionalism. They kept us informed every step of the way and always took the time to check that we were okay during such a difficult period. What stood out most was Dean’s personal care and attention. Even on the morning of Mum and Dad’s funerals, he called to make sure we were all coping, confirmed the arrangements for the day, and reassured us that everything was in hand. That simple gesture meant a great deal to our family. Dean and his staff made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel so much easier to manage. Everything was handled with dignity, respect, and genuine care, allowing us to focus on remembering and celebrating our parents’ lives. We cannot thank Dean and his team enough for their support, compassion, and professionalism. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a funeral director who truly goes above and beyond.

From start to finish, Dean Harper Funeral Director provided a service that was compassionate, professional, and genuinely kind. At a time that was incredibly difficult for our family, they guided us through everything with patience, care, and respect. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional — they took the time to listen, understand what mattered to us, and ensured every detail was handled thoughtfully. Above all, they gave my dad a truly beautiful and dignified send-off that reflected who he was, and that meant everything to us. We are deeply grateful for the support we received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a funeral director who truly cares.

After the loss of my sister, we contacted many funeral directors not knowing where to begin with the arrangements. Dean Harper instantly felt like the choice for us. They guided us through the process with compassion and ease during a time that felt impossible. Anna Marie took the time to learn all about my sister and took note of all the details which showed when she led the service, which was the most beautiful tribute. On the day, Dean was a support to us all and guided us through which meant everything went without fault. Nothing was too much trouble for all at Dean Harper. The little details that meant a lot to us as a family, became a priority for them. When you lose someone you love so much, it can be hard to trust people to care for them before and during their final journey. We trusted them completely and would recommend them to anyone who is in the unfortunate position to need them. Thank you to Anna Marie, Angela, Dean and all at Dean Harper.
