Testimonials
A sample of comments from the wonderful people we get to spend our days with.
Thank you, they really do mean so much.
"Hi Hayley, I just wanted to make contact to thank you for how wonderfully you looked after my Dad and all the family. I honestly don’t think the funeral could have been more perfect! Wayne was amazing. Everything about it was simply amazing. We were so impressed with the flowers and also the catering at the wake was exceptional. If you could pass on our thanks to the florist and caterer we would really appreciate it.
I had no idea you’ve only been running for just over a year. You would never know! You are without a doubt head and shoulders above your peers. Everybody who came had nothing but praise for you and your team and we were all touched that you walked Dad the last stretch to the crematorium. So respectful ️
Obviously I hope I don’t need your services in the near future, but I wouldn’t dream of using another undertaker now we’ve had the pleasure of your care. I will recommend you to everybody I know. It’s difficult to adequately express just how much we have appreciated your care at the worst time in our lives. We are all so grateful and wish you all the best for the future. "

"To Hayley, Elly & Family. We can't thank you enough for the support and friendship you gave us in what was a very difficult time. Dad/ Grandad couldn't have been in better hands. Thanks Tony & Elly for your amazing support on the day. Dad would have been so proud to know we chose such wonderful, caring people for his last few days.
Love of love.

"I want to say a big thank you for your services, somehow I knew everything would be correct when we were first introduced and you delivered exactly what we hoped for. I cannot thank you sufficiently for the personal attention you gave me when I was "lost". Your help got me through the service.
You came to us by recommendation and I am so glad the choice of director was the best we could have possibly had. Whenever the need, in future, for a personal funeral director, I know who will be the top of our list. Everyone complimented the service you have.
Thank you so much for everything"

"From the 1st contact we couldn't ask for more. Hayley's kind and caring experience are beyond her years and nothing is too much trouble.
They may be a new business but the so called established companies in this industry could learn a lot from this family business.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darley Funeral Directors. 1st class from beginning to end and beyond. Thank you to all of you."
