"I just wish to thank Josh and Andrew for the kind, caring and sympathetic way they dealt with the arrangements for my Uncle Stuart. The care from first contact was wonderful. The funeral arrangements could not have gone any smoother. Everything was just perfect for Stuart, he could not have been in better hands. Thank you!"

"Andrew and Joshua, I would just like to thank you on behalf of myself and the family for everything you have done, and all of the care, support and respect you have given us. The flowers you arranged for us were stunning. The funeral was certainly a day that will be remembered by so many. Jonathan, the celebrant, was wonderful and delivered the eulogy to Martin in a calm, sensitive but celebratory way. We are all so grateful"

“Hi thank you very much for dealing with my mum's funeral, I personally couldn't of asked for a better funeral directors to deal with.

“I can't rate A D Whitaker & Sons high enough.
Thank you for looking after Nanna and giving her the send-off she deserved. From the moment you took nana into “your care”, to driving her and us to the final event, it was done with dignity and professionalism. I cannot thank you enough. Dealing with the same person throughout made it much easier for us to know that everything was always being taken care of. The chats and advice were something I appreciated and remember. We're now learning to live without Pat, nanna/mum however, we will never forget your support. Funeral homes don’t have to be depressing and uncomfortable. If a place feels comfortable and home-like, it provides a better experience for families and they’re more likely to come back. And that’s exactly what your funeral care feels like. It doesn’t at all feel like a funeral parlour but more like a home and a environment you can settle in. Thank you for all your help x”

"Words cannot express the pure gratitude I have for A D Whitaker & Sons. They conducted my late mothers funeral and the attention to detail was outstanding. The pure empathy they portrayed was so so professional. They listened and actually heard the requirements we requested as a family. To be heard is so vital at such an emotional time. Nothing was too much for them. I cannot recommend them highly enough to others who are entering the same situation of life's plan. Thank you simply does not cover it.

I would recommend them for anyone who needs a funeral as they are amazing, especially the son Josh, he has been our family rock”
Mrs J. Graham
"We tragically lost our 19 year old son very suddenly in May. From the first communication we had with Joshua we were fully confident that we had chosen the right funeral directors. We were assured that nothing was too much trouble and they were available at any time. Communication was always excellent - each step was explained fully. We received the utmost respect and genuine compassion. Every request we had was carried out to perfection.
Our son received a dignified, beautiful funeral, which we will treasure as our final gift to him. He was carried by six nervous young men - friends of his - but they were guided the whole way, and were given the support they needed for such a difficult and emotional task.
Our family has been through an unimaginably difficult time, however, A.D. Whitaker & Sons have provided a wonderful service. We have genuinely felt that their support and sincere compassion has made this time a little more bearable and it has meant so much to all Blaine's family and friends to celebrate his life in a way he truly deserved.
Our heartfelt thanks to you."
Annie Dawson

A D Whitaker & Sons, she was in safe hands. They truly looked after my mum. It took so much stress and worry off us. It was a beautiful service and it couldn't have happened without you.
Joshua organised everything. The level of care and understanding was great. Definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you once again."

“To Andrew & Joshua,
Thank you so much for all your care and compassion”
June, Liz & Amanda
“ We wanted someone special to look after our lovely Mum and found that in Andrew and Josh. They were amazing throughout and they didn’t just look after Mum, they looked after us too. They guided us sensitively and nothing was too much trouble. From start to finish (and beyond) they were sympathetic, empathetic and understood everything we were going through. The service was personal and we felt we were really listened to as to what Mum would have wanted and what we felt was right for her. We felt costs were reasonable and could be tailored to our needs and budget. We couldn’t have wished for Mum, or us, to have been in better hands. We used another company to look after our Dad and, whilst adequate, we didn’t feel we had the same level of care and consideration as we did with Andrew and Josh. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrew and Josh to look after your loved ones, as we feel it’s the final act of love you can do for your family members to have the best care possible. ”
Rachel Dawson
​"After my mum passed away I did my research and made a few calls and found this amazing small family business. I just knew I had found the right one. Joshua and Andrew took care of my mum professionally and with the most respect. Everything was customised and bespoke for us. They met all my needs and put me at ease. This was hard to plan as I’m only 23 but they guided me through everything and made me feel at ease. The service on the day was outstanding everyone was saying they’ve never seen a better funeral service. I can’t thank them enough "
