"At the worst time of our lives, your team dealt with queries with compassion and sympathetically. This reassured us that Mum would be treated with respect and dignity. I can only thank you for providing a lovely service which Mum would have been proud of."
— Paula McKay
"Alan in particular took lots of time to get to know us as a family and our loved one to ensure a personalised service was provided."
— David Cox (about Alan)
"Knowing my mum was in the best and safest of hands means everything. This is my third funeral experience with this team and wouldn't go anywhere else. Nothing was too much trouble — everything we asked was done to an amazing standard. Her day was a truly beautiful and comforting day with all of mum's wishes carried through."
— Lisa
"The help, care and compassion shown from the first phone call was unbelievable. Alan and his team helped make mum's funeral perfect — myself, my brothers and the rest of our family can't thank them enough. If you need to use a funeral director, use this company. You won't regret it, they won't let you down!"
— Sarah Vogel-Webster (about Alan)
"Alan created a beautiful order of service for mum and it seriously took my breath away. Mum was in a wicker casket, as per her wishes and Alan arranged for a beautiful flower arrangement that included pink lilies from her own garden. I can't thank Alan enough. I know Mum had the best goodbye."
— Trisha Titchmarsh (about Alan)
"We had never arranged a funeral before but the patience and care Sarah showed us was amazing. She answered every single question I asked her with compassion and empathy. Thank you to Alan for taking my call on a Sunday when I was having a meltdown sending photos — Alan ended up making me laugh and calming me down, it was exactly what I needed. Matthew on the day asked me if I was okay and ready for the service to start and showed so much respect and care. Frank as our driver chatted to us on the way to the crematorium and looked after my mum (who had a walker) in such a lovely way."
— Helen Griffin (about Sarah, Alan, Matthew, Frank)

Alan Clegg helped us through a difficult time when Mum passed away. Alan created a beautiful order of service for mum and it seriously took my breath away. Mum was in a wicker casket, as per her wishes and Alan arranged for a beautiful flower arrangement that included pink lilies from her own garden. I can’t thank Alan enough. I know Mum had the best goodbye.

We used Graham Clegg services when our Dad passed away and from the first phone call, Sarah was fantastic. We had never arranged a funeral before but the patience and care Sarah showed us was amazing. She answered every single question I asked her with compassion and empathy and she went out of her way to get us a suitable date and time for the funeral. Thank you to Alan for taking my call on a Sunday when I was having a meltdown sending photos. Alan ended up making me laugh and calming me down, it was exactly what I needed. Matthew on the day was wonderful, he asked me if I was okay and ready for the service to start and he showed so much respect and care. Frank as our driver was exactly who we needed, he chatted to us on the way to the crematorium and looked after my mum (who had a walker) in such a lovely way. The whole team has looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. Also a special mention to the celebrant Adele James who was incredible from start to finish. Thank you so much to all the team at Graham Clegg, would 100% recommend to everyone.

My mum passed away in December 2024, and we chose to use Graham Clegg for her funeral (they had done my Dad's back in 2004, and other family members during the years) From the first phone call, I knew I had made the right decision to choose this company. Alan has been amazing during the whole process. The help, care and compassion that was shown from the first phone call was unbelievable. The advice, guidance and support has been incredible. Alan and his team helped make mums funeral perfect! And myself, my brothers and the rest of our family can't thank them enough! Anyone reading this, if you need to use a funeral director, use this company. You won't regret it, they won't let you down! Thanks again Alan, you and your team are absolutely amazing! 😊

I recently buried my sister after a short illness. I highly recommend the services of this business. They promptly took care of every aspect of the funeral. Thank you to Sarah Alan for all your help and kindness. X
