We received these lovely comments from a family we cared for recently. We try very hard to provide the best service we can to help you through a difficult time and it gives us a great boost to hear that you appreciate our efforts.
'Many thanks for everything you have done for us over last couple of weeks. You and your team have been fantastic and your service of the highest order. From start to finish you have personally dealt with us and I can honestly say your motto of “your family caring for ours” is completely fitting and appropriate.'

If you need some support during the festive period there are organisations out there who could help. 🌷
Two that we recommend are: www.thegoodgrieftrust.org

Today we sadly said goodbye to Lynne Johnstone. The service you have given was truly outstanding. Leighton has been amazing over the past two weeks and we thank him from the bottom of our hearts. Mel Mark and Jemima x

They couldn’t do enough for you very professional.

The provide a beautiful and respectful service, they go above and beyond to help you through your difficult time, can’t recommend them enough.

Stephen & his team made sure that my little boy had the best send off. They made the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through a stress free process.

Saying Goodbye to someone you love is never easy but having Stephen with me every step of the way made it easier to say a final Goodbye.I would reccomend Alderson and Horan Funeral services to anyone and will never go anywhere else top professional service.

Losing a loved one is never easy. Alderson & Horan took care of my lovely Dad David. Right from the very start they made the whole process stress free and treated us with respect and dignity. I can’t thank Steven, Janet ,Leighton and all the other people involved enough. You deserve every bit of credit for the job that you all do and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Carry on doing what your doing because without you guys things just wouldn’t be the same. Much love to you all Claire, Diane, Debbie & Tania xxxx

Kind courteous and respectful saw me through a very difficult time. I will always be grateful for their help and guidance. Professionalism at its best

Have used them for our parents and sister . Excellent service .

They also do so much for Pendleside Hospice where I am a volunteer.

Our pre paid Funeral plans are already with them wouldn’t want any one else .

Alderson and Horan took care of my dad and our family when he suddenly passed. Right from the word go they treat my dad and our family with such respect and dignity, little touches like giving us a red rose and leaving one outside his flat door meant so much. Stephen was amazing, he helped me organise everything and supported me throughout, even held my hand walking into the funeral and gave me some left over pie and peas for my tea when I went to visit my Dad the day before the funeral. Everytime I rang up or visited the funeral parlour, everyone spoke to me like a friend which made me feel very at ease. From my family to your family... thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this terrible time bearable ⚘⚘⚘
