Richard Barnes funeral services

I felt compelled to write a review after seeing a negative rating which has very much skewed the view of what I consider to be the most compassionate, professional and well organised funeral directors. They have gently and thoughtfully guided us through the process of planning 2 funerals in our family this year. Their knowledge is incredible and we have completely felt in safe hands. At such distressing times I cannot imagine that another service could do a better job than the staff team at Richard Barnes.

The best funeral directors I've dealt with - and I've handled the deaths of both my parents and parents-in-law. Very sensitive treatment and personal service even though my father-in-law was under a funeral plan (not co-op!). They organised everything extremely well and provided a celebrant who seemed like a family member on the occasion. Excellent service.

The service we received from Richard Barnes when Mum died recently is every bit as good as it was 25 years ago when my father died. A thoroughly professional service; kindness and sensitivity throughout for which we are extremely grateful.

We are so very pleased to have given our late Father such a dignified and respectful funeral. All in all it turned out to be the perfect tribute to someone who was very special to us. All this in no small measure to the outstanding service by everyone at the funeral home who helped make the sad occasion such a success.

Thank you all very much.

The whole team at Richard Barnes are exceptional from Jenny to the team on the day of the funeral, they were all very professional and caring and kind , thank you all for everything you did for my dad and your kindness towards me and my family

Jenny Barnes and her team are exceptional, they have looked after both my mum and dad. could not have asked for more, always there for advice , always calm and dignified and will help all they can in very sad times. even let me decorate my dads coffin with a special item that ment alot to both him and myself. fantastic
