Happy chappy

The lady I spoke to with regards to my future plans was helpful and listened to what I wanted. She delivered a plan that fitted my needs in such a professional manner.
She made the whole process an enjoyable one considering the topic.
All in all a delicate subject that gave me such peace of mind for my family and I.
Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your kind comments about the care and compassion you received from our team. We're pleased to hear that you found us readily available and supportive when you needed us most.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the location of the cremation. We own and operate a network of crematoria across the UK, and on occasion we may transfer someone into the care of another of our crematoria. This allows us to avoid unnecessary delays and ensure the cremation can take place as promptly as possible, while maintaining the high standards of care and dignity that every family deserves.

We understand this may not always be the location families were expecting, and we're sorry for any disappointment this caused.

Thank you again for your feedback and for placing your trust in us during such a difficult time. We wish you and your family all the very best.

Comforting experience.

Contacted Memoria to find out more about process of arranging direct cremation. After discussion with Shaun regarding my queries, I was more than satisfied & comfortable to place the final requirements of my dear mother in the hands of Memoria.

Highly Recommend

Following the passing of our dad, Sue supported my sisters and me from start to finish. From the very beginning, she kept us fully informed, checked in with us at every stage, and made sure we always knew what was happening.

Her kindness and compassion went far beyond what we expected. She sent us a thoughtful card on the day of Dad’s funeral, followed by a text message, and contacted us again shortly afterwards to see how we were coping. Those small gestures meant so much during such a difficult time.

Sue showed genuine empathy, kindness and professionalism throughout. She made what could have been an incredibly stressful experience feel personal, seamless and far less overwhelming. We are so grateful for everything she did for our family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Memoria to anyone looking for compassionate support at such a difficult time.

Made a Difficult Time Easier

We used Memorial Funerals to arrange my mum’s cremation, and I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and support during such a difficult time. Our funeral arranger was so helpful, compassionate and professional, making everything much easier for us. The celebrant was also excellent and delivered a beautiful, heartfelt service for my mum.
I would highly recommend Memorial Funerals to anyone looking for a caring and respectful service. Thank you again for everything.

Karen Dodd who I dealt with was the most kind and compassionate person I spoke with. Memorial Direct Cremations do not have any hidden charges which others I rang seemed to have. 10/10

The feeling that everything was taken care of made a distressing experience just about bearable. The sensitivity our funeral arranger Nicki handled my enquiries with felt just right and all information she gave me was clear and straightforward.
I cannot thank her enough for gently guiding me through the death of my mother and don't think I could have coped with not having someone like her to deal with things.

Simple online transaction

Simple online transaction, I prefer this to talking to someone, because of many scam nuisance calls. Received confirmation email almost immediately and hard copy in a few days. I would recommend.
