Henry Ison & Sons Funeral Directors

Recently my great aunt passed away suddenly. We live in Canada and, as can be appreciated, we’re in a mad fix to get to England and do all the necessary planning, while dealing with the pain and sadness a loss of a family members brings. Right from the beginning (when we were still in Canada) Paul Atkinson made the process as uncomplicated as possible. Paul immediately went above and beyond, handling things like obtaining the death certificate, arranging pick up of our aunt and doing as much for us as possible. He went above and beyond even before we met in person. When we did arrive in England, Paul only continued to impress us. He was kind and patient with us as we asked questions and made decisions. He was non judgemental in our choices and was supportive in our planing for service and cremation. He organized every detail from finding someone to conduct the service, organize cars and even went as far to order our flowers and arrange the wake. We were overwhelmed with the travel and not being familiar with practices and service providers in Leamington and he took care of it all. We were so pleased to have worked with him and can only say good things. Thank you Paul for making an extremely difficult and chaotic time bearable. Our family was able to reflect on our aunt, grieve together and ultimately celebrate her as a person, without having to worry about the red tape... for this we will forever be grateful!

Thanks again and take good care!

When my Father died in June we went to Henry Ison's in Leamington Spa. The Manager, Paul, was so helpful in every way that the process was made much easier than we had imagined. He guided us re the coffin, order of service etc. etc.and even recommended a superb humanist lady to conduct the funeral. Thanks to Paul we were very pleased at how smoothly everything went, and a sad occasion was made so much better. Our sincere thanks to all of the staff involved. Brilliant service all round.

I recently had the absolute pleasure to meet Paul at Isons in Leamington.

He is clearly very passionate about his role , which was lovely to see.

I could instantly tell that this is more than 'just a job' for Paul.

He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and a genuinely lovely man.

The families who Paul looks after will be in very good hands.

I was very impressed with the high standards that are adhered to in every regard.

A real credit to Henry Isons and Funeral Partners.

Thank you for your time Paul.

I was so lucky that I found Paul in the Leamington Spa branch of Henry Ison to take care of the arrangements to celebrate he life of my darling husband Rex. Rex passed away very unexpectedly in the ambulance between the Birmingham QE Hospital and Warwick Hospital. Rex always wanted a very special funeral somewhere between Church of England and Humanist, colourful, fun, laughter and bright clothes. After talking to Paul about Rex, his life, his love of sports, loyalty, sense of humour etc. he knew exactly who we and Rex needed to take the service. The order of service booklets were very special to Rex, just what was needed, nice bright yellow ties worn by the team on the day as requested. The special fun that Rex had requested in detail throughout his care at Isons. Rex was looked after as we're we all by a special team with empathy and care with no detail too much trouble. Thank you all especially Paul for looking after my darling Rex recently

A fantastic firm. From the time I first contacted them to the funeral itself I was helped and guided all the way by friendly, caring staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them to sort and all questions were answered. This is the second time I've had to use them and I wouldn't have chosen anyone else this time around. Brilliant service, excellent staff.

Victor Henry Woodruff's Funeral

Such a well organized and professional service.Paul Atkinson at your Leamington Spa office was a great help to me in arranging my brother's funeral, he showed kindness and respect at a time of great sadness also the Funeral Director Darren and his staff showed dignity and sincerity on the day of Victor's funeral.Lastly may I say a very big thank you to the Reverend Melanie Sopp who conducted the service in a sincere and eloquent manner it was a special moment. I was well impressed and would certainly use Henry Ison & Sons again.

So there is no confusion 'Lesley Coles' is my Wife BUT her review was in respect of Ison's taking care of her Mum who passed away just before Christmas. My review is entirely independent and it concerns my 92 year old Father who passed Mid January 2019.

To Paul Atkinson of Ison's, Funeral Directors, Leamigton Spa;

You gave help when I needed it most and in a tricky situation I was facing following my Fathers cremation but before Interment. What you did was above and beyond the call of duty, resolving an issue I had, at a very difficult time, in twenty minutes flat following our first conversation. You then remained on top of the situation and organised Dad's Interment at arms (120 miles) length, liaising with Lincolnshire County Council, the undertaker, the local priest and, in one, took a huge weight off my shoulders regarding something of which I had almost zero experience. A 'life saver' if I could put it that way !

It is difficult to know how to express my gratitude other than say a heart felt THANK YOU. I am sure there are others in your line of business who would do the same ... BUT ... this was YOUR moment to shine and you exceeded all hopes and expectations.

I highly recommend Yvonne, Chris and the team at Henry Ison.
The staff were so supportive and helpful throughout this difficult process. From the first phone call right through to the funeral yesterday they have been so caring and thoughtful. Everything we wanted for my late mother in law was honoured and nothing was too much trouble for them.
Excellent service given and we are truly grateful.
Thank you so much.
