My mum Jean and I want to say a massive thank you to Jean and team who helped us lay to rest Susan, mum's sister and my aunt. Susans death was a shock and unexpected and Jean talked us through everything we needed to do and more. Would not have been able to do it without them. Thank you Whiteabbey team x

This is the second time the Whiteabbey team have taken care of a funeral for my family. It made everything so much easier, having confidence in them and knowing how professional they are. Jean was with us through everything both times. She was so kind and attentive, at the same time taking care of all arrangements, for which I am very grateful. The background workers made my mother up beautifully and Brandon took care of everything on the day of the funeral. I cannot recommend James Brown & Sons highly enough.

After scouting out a previous funeral parlour, which was quite unprofessional and cold in their reception to us, my Cousin and I were greeted with the total opposite when we visited James Brown & Sons Funeral Directors to enquire about his Father's (My Uncle's) Funeral. Our initial plan was to visit 3 funeral parlours, the first previous funeral parlour was rude and cold, but after our second choice, James Brown & Sons, we knew we did not need to view a third place. The professionalism, understanding, empathy and genuine warmth and Love of Christ we were met with could be felt. The place itself matches the good people who work there. It's beautiful, bright / not at all dour or drab and it's overly accommodating. They took care of EVERYTHING from pick up of loved one to offer of embalming or simply dressing, flower arrangements, offer of old fashioned or new transport. The preparation is made very clear and understandable. They put you instantly at ease. Even the area is beautiful with a gorgeous oak tree overhanging, plenty of car parking space and hedges built around for privacy. They offer so much varied options to suit anyone's needs, open coffin/viewing, favoured songs of artists to play at funeral and they supply their own ministerial speakers if you need one. They are patient and work with your financial situation. A credit to the public and they deserve more praise than what I can think to give them for what they did for my Cousin and his loss of his Father. 10/10. Thanks especially to Glynis, Lawrence, Jean.
