The company is committed to ensuring that every deceased person in their care rests in an individual coffin on their premises until the day of the funeral, with no use of central storage facilities. This commitment to dignity and personal service reflects the longstanding values that have defined H W Mason and Sons for over two and a half centuries.
"Upon collecting the body I was promised that they will treat the body 'with upmost respect' and throughout the process I most certainly felt that they did just that. They were incredibly compassionate, understanding and helpful during that horrific time in our lives."
— Maggie Scott
"Leanne was absolutely incredible from the first interaction in branch with the whole family, especially my Nan who had nothing but amazing words to say about her... knowing my Grandad was in the hands of incredible people made a very tough time within the family that tad easier."
— Kyle Wells (about Leanne)
"Amy's kindness and sensitivity with the whole family was perfect from start to end. No one wants to be in this position but the human touch and adapting to the family needs was exemplary."
— Lee Toon (about Amy)
"Adelaide completely put my mind at ease with regards to all arrangements. She was patient, understanding, extremely helpful and caring... you made an extremely tiring, emotional and stressful time - an un-stressed process... bordering on, an absolute pleasure."
— Mark Emsworth (about Adelaide)
"From coming out late the night she passed away to collect her, Billy and his team were calm, efficient, so very polite and reassuring. They treated her with dignity in circumstances which made it difficult to do so... On the day of the funeral they granted me the honour of being a pallbearer and I'll never forget that."
— Jake (about Billy & Amy)
"Leanne called and asked if she could look after us again... Dan looked after us on the day again and he made everything run so smoothly and the whole situation easier to bear. You are both a credit to Masons and I hope that you know just how much your compassion and empathy helps families get through a very difficult time."
— Nicola Yerrell (about Leanne & Dan)
