A Shepherd & Sons Funeral Directors

Thank you to T S Annisons for arranging our mam's recent funeral which all went very smoothly indeed. Particular thanks go to Debbie who was very caring, helpful and understanding, a complete professional in her trade. Thanks Debbie from Ray, Steve and our other brother Rob who you never met.

Absolutely wonderful from the first meeting with Debby to the day itself. All the staff were amazing. Everything ran smoothly. Couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended

Couldn’t have got better service, looked after my dad with care and compassion and helped give him the send off he wanted. All was perfect on the day, thank you Debbie.

John, Debbie and the team, Thank you for looking after Dad and giving him the send-off he deserved. From the moment you took him into “your care”, to driving him and the family to his service, it was done with dignity and professionalism. We cannot thank you enough. Dealing with the same people throughout made it much easier for us to know that everything was always being taken care of. The chats and advice were something we appreciated and remember at what has been a very difficult time for us. We are now learning to live without Dad, however, we will never forgot your amazing care and support.

Thank you to Annison & Boddy's for their support and help during what was a very difficult time.Especially Debby, who took so much time with me and was so caring and patient whilst helping me with the arrangements for my Grandad. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I think that sannison & r boddy funeral directors are brilliant. I couldn't fault them at all. Debbie the funeral director was there for me, and the rest of my family. Since my mums, my sister and my hubby have all passed away Debbie has been marvellous over the last 17 months. What I liked about it was Debbie kept in contact twice and sometimes three times a week to keep us in the loop. She advised us on different things were going and help me choose the right coffin for your loved one ie my mum, my sister and for my hubby Richard. . She did us proud. We couldn't ask for more then that. Debbie even organised a wheelchair for my husband Richard to be wheeled into the small Chape when he was a live last January 2022. . There was enough consideration for us as a family and she looked after my mum very well as my sister and my hubby. . She made my mum, my sister and my hubby Richard looked nice and she was comfortable with all thier favourite things jewellery and thier badges for pdsa as mum used to be a volunteer at pdsa, my hubby's jewellery too with his personal items too. Even my sister's personal items too. The best thing I like about the funeral director Debbie is that she made us appointment to see mymum and my hubby Richard for the last time and to say our good. Me and my youngest son Tim couldnt say our good byes to them so we remembered them in our memories of them both We did get half an hour but felt like longer. The things I like most of all there were cards with a dove on it to write your messages on and put them in her coffin with her. I did one from me and my hubby Richard before he passed away and then it was just me and my youngest son went and sawy hubby for the last time. as at the time my hubby, was still is bed ridden and couldn't get there at the time as he said it was too a motional for him. The funerals were fantastic, I couldn't fault it in anyway. The slide show was brilliant too. Even though there wasn't a dry eye in the Chapel as there were family members on there which have passed away before my mum. Glen the the funeral person who walked in front of the Hurst walked with my nephew and kept talking to him all the way. Glen told Steve if he wanted to stop at any time we will stop but Steve said no he wanted to go all the way and that what he did. I think as well as my family think that. Debbie the funeral director did a brilliant job and if mum was a live her self she would have commented herself how brilliant a job she has done. We chose ts annison & boddy funeral directors because they did a brilliant jod in 1993 when I and my husband Richard had lost our nine week old son Robert and they did a great job then. I would recommend t s annison and boddy funeral directors to anyone who needs onDebbie the funeral directors has now done three members of my family in the last three months which has done a brilliant job to all three funeral.. A big thank you..Yours sincerely Jackie Johnson
