Oaks took the most amazing care of our beloved cat, Jinx who passed away at an amazing 22 years old🖤 the chapel was BEAUTIFUL and so comforting in such a hard time. We selected 3 beautiful glass cats to be made with her ashes and they did not disappoint. I can’t thank Danni & the team enough for helping us through this super hard time. 1000% recommend xx

I lost my mum on Christmas Eve which was devastating. Danielle at Oaks was amazing - she was immediately comforting, compassionate, empathetic and reassuring - she took control of the whole situation and made herself available at all times. This young woman provided a sincere, personal and touching service from start to finish - I found the situation overwhelming and fearful but Danielle gave sound advice and support to help me make the right decisions in all stages of the funeral process. Danielle - again I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and support during this difficult time in my life. You and your mum are brilliant. I would highly recommend Oaks Funeral Directors.

I recently used Oaks Funeral Directors and was really happy with the caring, professional and personal attention provided by Dannielle. There are difficult decisions to make about things you never want to have to decide upon, but Dannielle talks you through it all patiently and compassionately while remaining totally professional and very knowledgeable. Communication was excellent and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. You are made to feel like their only client with your needs and concerns a top priority. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dannielle and her small family team as an excellent choice for looking after you and your loved one at the most difficult of times. Thanks Dannielle.

Daniel and her mom are both amazing human beings . They both took care of our needs and wishes we expressed and from the start to the finish everything was handled with upmost care and empathy. All the required information was clearly provided on their website and their response was prompt when we inquired further . Our service was so beautiful and Daniel was always ready for everything that needed to be done. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who needs caring and compassionate funeral director .

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Oaks, and I can’t recommend it enough! As soon as you enter, you are immediately at ease. The calm and tranquil environment truly makes you feel that your loved one is well cared for. Danniela is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the services she offers are second to none. It’s clear that she puts a lot of love and effort into what she does. If you're looking for a place that prioritises comfort and care, Oaks is the perfect choice!
