"From start to finish they guided us through what was a very hard time."
— Daniel Acton (about Nick)
"Death is such an emotive subject and I imagine its not high on anyone's agenda – until they need your services. Every step of your service and organisational skills to us was wonderful."
— J Williamson (about Nick)
"Nick couldn't have done any more to help with the arrangements and general running on the day. Kind, caring, respectful and considerate. In our opinion he went above and beyond what we expected."
— Roxann Skinner (about Nick)
"The compassion shown and smooth passing of the day meant that William Houghton's was the first call that I made when I needed to organise my own Mother's funeral."
— david bryce (about Nick)
"Nick is kind, compassionate and most importantly calm. Nothing is too much trouble, he seems to think of everything, using his experience to advise and guide you through a difficult process giving options to choose from at a difficult time. It is all about the little details, because of that I can't recommend Houghton's enough."
— david bryce (about Nick)
