"Perfect, so easy, nothing was too much trouble and all just happened, totally took the stress out of a sad situation."
— VLARE SPOTLOBBLE
"They are so lovely, personal and professional. Alex spoke at a memorial for my Dad. It was just perfect."
— CousinJoe _ (about Alex)
"Alex was absolutely fantastic as were all the staff. Alex was very professional from start to finish, everyone commented how perfectly he conducted my Dad's ceremony."
— Deborah (about Alex)
"I cannot thank Alex and Kelly enough for their support, understanding and empathy throughout the whole process. I wholeheartedly recommend their services."
— Jessics Lees (about Alex, Kelly)
"We were treated with sympathy and care throughout the whole process from start to finish. Thank you to all at J W Binks for making a difficult process as comfortable and reassuring as it possibly could be."
— David Griffiths (about Alex)
"Alex was nothing short of professional and efficient whilst having a great (at times funny) manner with us...that was only used as and when appropriate - this helped all of us during a very emotional time. Alex guided us all the way but allowed us the freedom to do as Mum would have liked. The service went smoothly...Alex nearby to step in if we were unable to read our parts. So what was a very emotional day for me and my family...it was lightened by using Binks - professional and empathetic funeral directors. I rate 5 stars plus."
— Alison Kenny (about Alex)

I have attended 2 funerals recently the staff was extremely rude and unapproachable. The whole thing was very rushed and unprofessional in every way. Binks also have extra hidden chargers and don’t comply with time keeping I’m very disappointed with there services and would never recommend them in the future

I would not recommend to use this company. We used them many years ago for my grandma and they were very good. This time we used them we are not happy. We felt they had no empathy at all and felt at times they were rude. The communication was terrible and when we contacted them to ask any questions it felt like an inconvenience to them. The funeral was spoiled overall by them bringing a private ambulance and driving in front of everyone in it. It looked horrible and everyone was asking why it was there.
