"This was my first time having to arrange a funeral. I was called around 1:30am with the news our stepfather had passed. Around 1 hour later 2 guys from white dove arrived at the care home. They were so professional and polite. They explained to me very clearly the next steps to be taken. They just made me feel at ease. Nothing was rushed at any point during the process. The bearers could not of been more caring, polite and sensitive. I cannot say thankyou enough to the entire team at white dove. When needed I would not consider anyone else."

All the team that we came into contact throughout the process were fantastic, Kelly Pratt sat and guided us through everything, the Celebrant Carly Bayford that Kelly put us in contact with was so good, she took her time when listening to us reminisce about our dad. We also requested a bagpiper and you put us in touch with Anthony Doherty again he was amazing. Matt made everything perfect on the day for us at the crematorium. I cannot thank everyone at Dove Funeral Home enough.

Where do I start - from the first visit we were treated with such care and kindness and a lot of help with the arrangements. The funeral was just perfect, every detail had been considered and carried out to perfection. What more can I say but a huge thank you to White Dove for making what could have been a sad day into a day of remembrance for my husband.

We received a professional service for our mum's funeral but with a very personal touch. All our choices were catered for without pressure to have any extras and when we needed some additional assistance, they helped things run smoothly for which we will be eternally grateful. We would fully recommend White Dove and all it's staff.

Our family chose White Dove for mums funeral as it was her wish based on previous funerals she had attended. We found the service we recieved kind, professional and respectful from start to finish. On collecting mum from home, a White rose was left on her pillow. All our wishes were followed and Karen helped give clear guidance in the creation of the order of service and the planning of the service. We felt very supported but the decisions were all ours. Though a sad day, it was made easier by how smoothly everything was handled. Thank you to all the staff at White Dove.

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone at White Dove Funeral Home for their care and professionalism during such a difficult time. A special mention to Karen for her kindness, guidance and support throughout arranging our dad/grandad’s funeral. She made everything feel so much more manageable. Thank you also to Matt, the funeral director, for ensuring the day itself ran so smoothly and respectfully. We truly can’t thank the whole team enough for the compassion and attention to detail they showed from start to finish.
