Wild & Brierley Funeral Service

I cannot praise Darren and his team highly enough for how they conducted my late Father's funeral. Very professional and more than happy to help from the first moment of contact, a fantastic team to work with, thank you for making everything easier Darren

I contacted Wild & Brierley to arrange my Mums funeral. They had arranged my Grandma and Aunts funeral previously and so I trusted them when it came to giving my mum her final send off. Darren was lovely to deal with, very respectful, clear and was happy to answer any questions we had. We arranged flowers through them also who dealt with their local preferred florist Buddies and I found their prices really competitive too. I can’t fault anything with their service at all. It’s might be a little weird to have a ‘favourite funeral directors’ but such is life, we live and we die, I wouldn’t choose any other.

We would like to thank all the staff at Wild and Brierley for helping us with our eleven year old son's funeral. Wild & Brierley went way beyond providing a professional service, it was more like they were our friends .We found Darren & Michael to be so helpful. Darren and Michael took care of everything with the arrangements taking any extra work away from us. Everything was done according to our wishes all along. Michael was excellent at doing the modern online stuff like an online obituary and setting up an online tribute with charity donation page. Michael did many extras for us and gave so much of his own time just out of being a great example of humanity.We met Darren every two days to make sure the arrangements were progressing , Darren also gave us so much of his time, advice and experience. The most striking attribute of Darren was his compassion. Darren wanted to meet our other son in advance of the funeral so he would have a relationship with him before the funeral. Darren offered my son the chance to walk with him in the procession in front of the hearse. This was very special and it helped our 13 year old son.Our son was cared for with the utmost respect and dignity ,he was laid out beautifully in the large Chapel of Rest .Our son had three big boxes of teddies which were displayed and spent the last night with him in the Chapel of Rest . Lesley kissed each teddy as she put them back in their boxes on the  morning of the funeral , this  gesture of humanity was so meaningful to us.I would also like to compliment Mark, the hearse driver for his compassion , he cared so much that he made a stand for our son's hoodie so it would not fall over while on display in the hearse. The funeral was a Mass and burial , all of the staff involved on the funeral , Darren, Michael, Mark and Jack carried out their duties to plan and with great respect and dignity.Every way possible all along, Wild & Brierley helped us and made things easier for us. They were more than happy to accomodate all of our requests .We were able to give our  son the best funeral we could plus more by using Wild & Brierley. We are very grateful for their help, generosity, kindness , compassion and humanity.

Michael and his team are truly amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend. We can not thank them enough for everything they have done for us.

Darren and his Son, over the past few years have laid my Mum, Dad, Auntie and several other family members to rest. The service they offered was amazing. At such difficult times, they arranged and sorted everything out but more than that, they felt like family and they genuinely cared. They treated my loved ones with such dignity and respect and took a lot of pressure off us whilst keeping us fully involved. At some of the most difficult times, they made things a little easier. This company is second to none and I would highly recommend them.

We lost both our uncle and auntie within a year of each other. It turned our world upside down. We had no idea how to go about arranging a funeral the first time around when our beloved uncle passed away. I called so many funeral directors and found them so 'matter of fact' and lacking in empathy which only added to our misery and dismayed me some what considering the nature of their business.I came across Wild & Brierley and left a voicemail on a Saturday evening assuming it would be Monday before they got back to me and that was a big 'IF' taking in to account my recent experiences with other funeral directors.Much to my surprise , Michael returned my call the very next day on a Sunday afternoon on his day off. He was so compassionate kind and sincere. The one thing he promised and reassured was, he would support and guide us with the funeral and take care of all the arrangements with the family's wishes.That was an understatement to say the least. Michael's work ethic turned out to be thoroughly astounding! He took away all the stress and the additional pain that goes with arranging a funeral. Nothing was too much, no stone was left unturned for both funerals. It was like having the support, kindness and understanding of your best friend during the most difficult and painful time in your life.Michael, Darren and the whole team at Wild & Brierley are truly certified professionals and showed so much respect, consideration, before, during and after the funeral. Nothing was rushed, everything was done according to our wishes. So much so that everybody was talking about what a wonderful send of we had gave to both our uncle and auntie during the wake and how thoroughly respectful and dignified Michael and his team were.Suffice to say, Having Michael on bode was like having a family member take care of everything from the word 'go' and that is the why they are the BEST in our humble opinion. Personal, compassionate, reassuring, sincere, caring, reliable, and true in every sense of the word!Saved the best for last and i'm so glad Wild & Brierley were the last call i made that Saturday.

I can't praise Darren and his team enough for everything that they did for us as a family during the difficult time of arranging the funeral of our beloved mum.Nothing was too much trouble even when we wanted to add an additional song to the service just 2 days before.Once again thank you for your kindness and support during a very difficult time.Carolyn Lewis and family
