Testimonials
Jason Beattie
The team at J Waite & Son Funeral Directors went above and beyond to help me arrange a Cremation for my late father.
Thank you so much to Kevin and John for being so supportive, kind and helpful with the recent funeral for John, nothing was too much trouble, communication was wonderful and they looked after us so well. Definitely worthy of 5 stars.
Maisie and Family
Outstanding care and kindness after the loss of both of my parents. Sensitive and thoughtful and made the whole horrible process you have to go through bearable. Kevin and Mary are a very special couple and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
