"They showed the utmost respect for our grandad's funeral, ensuring every detail was handled with care. Their support left our family feeling reassured, and they laid him to rest peacefully. They truly went above and beyond."
— Lucy Ely
"We noticed the rose. Nothing is too much — to the smallest of things like giving dad a nice haircut. And opening out of hours and on Sundays. Cannot recommend Danny and his family at Mulligan's highly enough."
— Ben Smith (about Danny)
"A massive heartfelt thank you for simply the most amazing and top quality care and attention. You made her look beautiful. Nothing is ever too much trouble and we were made to feel very special. You are the best in the business!"
— melanie H (about Perry)
"Danny looked after my brother like he was his own. The lengths these boys go to is unbelievable. They give you so much comfort. I could not have wished for better."
— Jo Rowlands (about Danny)
"Burying young children is devastating and they went above and beyond. The care of the young ones and the support and patience for the families were commendable. Planning one of the hardest days ever is made that little bit easier with Tracie. She is the best."
— Cheronagh Lillie (about Tracie)
"You walked Sheila up the road she used to live and stopped outside her old house and when you placed a pink rose on Sheila just before the burial were so special to us. You all really went above what other funeral directors would do."
— Jeannette Shepherd (about Perry)
