Jeanette at Daventry Road was so friendly and helpful and really took all my worries away.She kept in touch with me all the time and always encouraged me to ask questions if I had any worries at allShe introduced me to a wonderful celebrant called Amanda who was just perfection and I really felt that she knew my husband by the time we had finished our chatThe service was personal, delivered impeccably by Amanda and I cannot praise the service from both Jeanette and Amanda and all the staff enough.

I would like to share a review from my point of view, as a Celebrant, working with Paul and the families he looks after...Paul is an absolute joy to work with. The compassion and commitment that he shows to each family goes above and beyond. Paul has great attention to detail and this reflects in his input to suggestions for bespoke, truly personal orders of service for families.Paul has a great attitude to his work, nothing is too much trouble. He goes out of his way to ensure that families are happy and given the best service possible.Paul is a genuinely lovely man, who has a real empathy for the very important role that he carries out on a daily basis.Paul understands just how important it is to give each family the care and support that they need at this sad time, to ensure that the lasting memory of their loved one's final journey is a good one.Would I recommend Paul?Yes, I would- you will be in very safe hands.

Had an excellent experience at Daventry Road. Paul was exemplary and nothing was too much trouble. After losing both my mother in law and father in law within 12weeks of each other, we saw Paul who went through everything with us with empathy and compassion. He dealt with both funerals and would like to say a huge thanks to him for making a difficult process seem very easy. Strongly recommend ☺️

I can highly recommend Henry Ison & Sons for your loved ones funeral. Paul at Daventry Road was a great support from start to finish, no matter how many times I called and asked something else! Nothing was an issue and everything was even better than expected on the day. Also thanks to Darren on the day and Carol the celebrant who was fantastic and we all really felt like she knew my dad! Great service throughout. Many thanks to them all.
