Our experience with East Durham Funeral service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Throughout a very difficult time, they were patient, kind, very helpful, understanding and there was absolutely nothing they couldn’t help with. Our lovely mum was laid to rest in the most dignified and respectful way. Their communication and customer service throughout the whole process was fantastic. We cant thank them enough.

Can't thank East Durham Funeral services enough for giving my dad the best send off From the first meeting with Tom you knew you were in good hands He covered everything without being pushy.
We were kept updated via email from Ellen and on the day everything was perfect. They organised beautiful flowers and an amazing catering for the wake. The procession to the crem was timely and tastefull,the cars were pristine! The undertaker was immaculate very professional and very helpful.She did an amazing job at leading us through the day. Would recommend this service as they are so helpful when you are feeling a little lost Thank You

At such a heartbreaking time when we lost our beloved husband/Dad. East Durham took all the stress away and took care of everything and offered a first glass service. We were kept informed every step of the way. Ellen, Tom and all the staff have been amazing. My dad had such an amazing sent off and he was looked after in a very dignified way. I don’t know how we have coped without all the help and respect we received from all the staff. We can certainly recommend East Durham to look after your love ones who have passed away. Once again thank to all the staff ❤️
