A first class service provided by the company from the initial interview with the funeral director all the way through to the collection of my wife’s ashes.
All aspects of the funeral were catered for by East Durham Funeral Service Ltd.

We lost my Dad this year, very unexpectedly. During the most difficult period our family has ever experienced, EDFS were incredibly respectful, helpful and kind. With their help and guidance, we had a wonderful funeral that the whole family was proud of. Many thanks to the whole team once again.

I would give East Durham Funeral service more than 5 stars if I could. They made a very very difficult time stress free and very easy! Ellen especially was on hand for any questions we had especially with delicate circumstances. I couldn't recommend them enough. We had a not nice experience with my grandma's funeral with another company and Ellen and the team absolutely excelled beyond our high expectations. We can't thank you all enough for making the day so special.

I have been very impressed by the caring and quietly efficient way everything has been handled, from the collection of my husband's body through to the funeral and beyond. Everyone from the company has been kind and compassionate and, importantly, completely dependable.

At one of the most difficult times the empathy shown by Tom & his staff was heartwarming. Special thank you to Ellen & Tracey who I believe went over & beyond with some requests regarding music & flowers. We were always kept upto date with arrangements
Professional service in every sense
Thank you

At the saddest of times the company provided the kindest caring service possible. They understood our requirements and carried out our wishes to provide the most perfect funeral anyone could wish to experience.
I wanted this to be a joyful service to commemorate the many years we spent together, a life full of happy memories to share and this was fully achieved.
I can't thank them enough and would highly recommend their service to anyone who requires the services of a funeral director. Every aspect was thoughtfully carried out, from contacting the venue, catering, floral tribute, minister and all I had to worry about was to upload photographs for the order of service and video tribute. Their funeral director, chauffeurs, attendants, limousines and hearse were immaculately turned out.
Thank you for helping my family and myself get through a very sad but in the end a happy memorial for a life well lived.
