"Niki and Andy Markham have been a warm light during a time of great darkness. This is more than a funeral service, and I will forever appreciate their warmth, professionalism and integrity."
— Ellie Wigglet (about Andy & Nikki)
"Their genuine, authentic, caring approach helped to make Dad's funeral truly memorable for all the right reasons and we will carry those cherished memories with us for the rest of our lives."
— 59er (about Andy)
"I'm using my partner's phone who died suddenly. If he could tell you of the outstanding care he has received by this wonderful couple, he would. Both are truly gifted huggers and understand fully what is required. When it's my turn, I will definitely be coming to you."
— Steve G (about Andy & Nikki)
"We asked guests to wear something green and all of the Markham staff on the day were wearing green ties. We hadn't requested this, but it was such a lovely gesture and shows how much they had picked up on something small I had mentioned in passing and incorporated it into the day."
— Jo (about Andy & Nikki)
"Losing my partner was the most painful experience of my life, but the support I received from Nikki and Andy was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I first spoke with Nikki, I felt held, supported, and truly understood. You made a painful goodbye feel like a loving tribute, and I will never forget that."
— Corinne Longland-Malam (about Andy & Nikki)
"Having lost our daughter very suddenly the funeral, although necessary, was something we dreaded. From the initial meeting our tears were respected and gently dried by the love and support shown. Nikki's care and attention ensured that Chloe looked beautiful. Andy leading the procession, bowing to the hearse, recognising our daughter's life, and respecting her death was a site to behold. It really was nothing less than beautiful. Thank you can never be enough. Our recommendation comes from the very bottom of our hearts and with the absolute highest esteem."
— Steve Baker (about Andy & Nikki)

Losing someone you love is devastating and navigating your way through all the arrangements that need to be made is completely overwhelming. I cannot thank Andy and Nikki enough for their kindness, compassion, understanding and professionalism following the death of my husband. From my initial conversation with Nikki, who talked about the care of a loved one which extended to their family. Through to working with Andy, making sure every decision honoured my husband’s memory. I felt supported, listened to and never rushed into a decision. The care shown to me at such a difficult time went far beyond any other experience I have had with funeral directors. I cannot recommend Markham Funeral Services highly enough - thank you.

I really cannot recommend Markham's Funeral Service Highly enough. From the very beginning, they were incredibly supportive, compassionate, and guided me through every step of arranging my brother's funeral. During one of the most difficult times of my life, Andy Markham and his team were always there to offer advice, reassurance, and support. They worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was exactly as we wanted it, paying attention to every detail and making the whole process as stress-free as possible. The service itself was handled beautifully, and their professionalism, care, and dedication were evident throughout. They went above and beyond to give my brother the send off he deserved, and for that I will be forever grateful. I really can't thank Andy Markham and his team enough for everything they have done. Their kindness and support meant so much to me and my family. An outstanding funeral service that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. ❤️

When faced with selecting a funeral directors we were recommended Markham by a friend of the family. Not knowing quite how to select a funeral directors after Dads passing, we looked at the Google reviews. I can honestly say, the reviews that they receive are well deserved. Andy and Nikki guided me through the first funeral I have had to arrange and they did so with such professionalism, understanding and respect. I would not hesitate to recommend them. We asked guests to wear something green in their outfit and all of the Markham staff on the day were wearing green ties. We hadn't requested this, but it was such a lovely gesture and shows how much they had picked up on something small I had mentioned in passing and incorporated it into the day. The entire team were a credit to Andy and Nikki. Thank you so much for your guidance and support and for looking after Dad. You will never know how much of a help you were for me during this difficult time.

We have had truly phenomenal service from Andy and the Markham’s team. From the first day we walked into their offices looking for help and advice, to the end of Dad’s funeral yesterday, Andy and the team have been genuinely caring, professional and graceful. They provided us with gentle and heartfelt advice, in exactly the right way when we needed it. We could not have asked for more. Their genuine, authentic, caring approach helped to make Dad’s funeral truly memorable for all the right reasons and we will carry those cherished memories with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you Andy and the Markham’s team ❤️

It is difficult to know where to start with this review. There aren't really words to express how amazing Andy, Nikki and their team are. Having lost our daughter very suddenly the funeral, although necessary, was something we dreaded. We need not have feared. From the outset, through the funeral itself and way beyond, Andy and Nikki have shown kindness, compassion and utmost professionalism. From the initial meeting our tears were respected and gently dried by the love and support shown . Our wishes were heard, and every hope we had for our precious daughter's final farewell was fulfilled. Nikki's care and attention ensured that Chloe looked beautiful. It was clear that she had really listened and personally wanted to make this difficult time as positive as she could. Such pride in her role was wholly evident. Andy leading the procession, bowing to the hearse, recognising our daughter's life, and respecting her death was a site to behold. It really was nothing less than beautiful. On the day, the quiet assurance from the whole of the Markham team brought us such remarkable comfort. From assistance in supporting us to find a celebrant through timings of the event,(especially when I wanted last minute additions), and ensuring that Chloe was cared for, until we could bring her ashes home, was outstanding. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble! We will be forever grateful for the respect and dignity we as parents, and Chloe as our little dolly, were shown. Thank you can never be enough. Our recommendation for their services comes from the very bottom of our hearts and with the absolute highest esteem.
