A huge thank you to Tom, Ellen and everyone at East Durham Funeral Service for being so helpful, caring and respectful. They made everything very easy for us at a very difficult time and gave my dad a perfect send off.
Would 100% recommend.

An excellent and professional service from start to finish from all at East Durham Funerals.
Never had to deal with arranging a funeral before for somebody so close, but everything was explained thoroughly and the process was made as smoothly as it possibly could have been.
Such a difficult time made that little bit easier with caring and compassionate staff. Thank you so much.

We cannot thank Tom and Ellen enough for their guidance and advice during a very difficult and emotional time.
I needed to have things explained again at times as I was so emotional when we first spoke after mams death. This was not a problem at all, and Ellen was so patient with me going over things again.
Mam had paid for and planned her funeral well in advance but the finer details needed to be sorted which they helped with, with compassion and respect.
I would definitely recommend East Durham funeral services and THANK YOU to all the staff for your services on the day of the funeral.

Tom and his team provided a first class service from mum's passing to the day of her funeral. Everything was arranged by them with total perfection and sincerity during a very stressful and emotional time for our family.

Every member of the team at East Durham Funeral Service did an exceptional job in handling things for us, both in the immediate aftermath of my father's death and thereafter, the management of the ceremony, logistics, the service itself, the presentation, communication, and offering comfort, compassion and empathy, and the formalities with the hearse and limo (done in both a friendly and respectful way). Would highly recommend and the pricing is excellent value relative to other funeral services also. Our family are very grateful.

I would highly recommend East Durham funeral service. They were very professional with a empathetic and proactive approach. Ellen and Tom were very personable and incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. The team went above and beyond to support us during a difficult and challenging time. From start to finish, they were incredible. Very genuine and kind people, with a person centred approach with the delivery of their service. We can not thank them enough for all they did for us.

Really professional and considerate.
Took care of everything for our family.
Dad passed away recently at the grand old age of 99 and already had in place A Golden Charter Funeral Plan which he had taken out with Esst Durham Funeral Homes. So when the time came the majority of the arrangements were already in place. I met with Phillip 2 days after dad died to go over everything and he put me so at ease with what still needed to be done and what l needed to do.
Ellen was working away on the arrangements behind the scenes keeping me fully informed along the way as to how things were moving. The Funeral day itself was led by Tom and everything went off to perfection. I cannot recommend East Durham Funeral Homes highly enough for their friendliness and sheer professionalism at a sad and difficult time for all the family.
