This is the 2nd time we have used MLS for a funeral as they took care of our mum 2.5 years ago and we had no hesitation in using them again for dad's funeral last week. Sally Ann was AMAZING again from start to finish and the level of care and compassion forwarded to us by the whole MLS team was truly spectacular. They truly are the BEST around. Their follow up and attention to detail is second to none. Thanks MLS you have helped us once again to give a great send off to both our parents now and we are truly thankful. You are True Professionals of the highest order !

MLS are truly wonderful. So grateful to Sally for her lovely caring manner in providing a fitting service and tribute to our late Mum. Sally and the staff are warm, considerate and supportive. There is no hard sell, just a commitment to deliver an appropriate thanksgiving for your loved one. MLS are a genuine independent family run business that knows how to treat people when they are at their most vulnerable.

We cannot thank Lisa and the team at MLS Independent Funeral Directors enough for the care and compassion they showed during the funeral of our beloved father and grandfather. From the very beginning, Lisa was incredibly supportive, guiding us gently and professionally through a very difficult time. Lisa and the team treated him with such dignity and respect, and we felt reassured knowing he was in such kind and careful hands. Every detail of the funeral was handled beautifully and thoughtfully, and her warmth and compassion made a world of difference to our family. We are deeply grateful for the excellent service and personal support we received. Thank you, Lisa & the team at MLS, for helping us give our father and grandfather the farewell he truly deserved. 🀍

MLS funeral directors looked after our mum so beautifully. Very professional but caring and compassionate . Whenever we phoned for advice they always explained everything superbly. Alice looked after us most of the time and she was delightful, nothing was too much trouble. On the actual funeral day she went through everything with us and was there alongside us every step of the way on what is a very traumatic day . Thank you so much for making a very difficult day bearable - from Marie’s family . Linda , Mike and Sue and all our families We were truly grateful for all your support.

From start to finish this lovely family run funeral directors made everything so much more easy. They looked after our beautiful Mum so well from start to finish, kept us updated throughout and were so so friendly. It’s the worst feeling losing a loved one but when you have lovely people like this guiding you and taking care of absolutely everything it really makes it a lot easier and for that I’m grateful to MLS Funeral Directors. Annie and the team were nothing short of amazing! A big thank you from Chris, Tanya & Family (and of course our lovely Mum Loraine)

Arranging your mum's funeral is one of the most painful experiences but Sally made it so much easier. She listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, never once rushed us (even when we lingered to say our last goodbye) and her troop of supporters (all her family members) were equally helpful, supportive and so very professional whilst being very human. You made an impossible situation bearable and our mum would have been proud of her day, thank you from the bottom of our hearts - March 25th 2024

I would highly recommend this fantastic company. After losing my Mum I really didn't know where to start with all the arrangements.I picked up the phone and immediately MLS were absolutely brilliant. Right from the start Sally and her team were professional, friendly and so caring, and as a lot of the other reviews state nothing was too much trouble. All members of the team were always happy to help and they even assisted my family out of hours due to the arrangements being over a public holiday. I really couldn't fault them and felt that my Mum was in safe hands and that they really cared. I would not hesitate to recommend them they couldn't have made such a sad horrible, stressful time more calming and re assured me at all times This took a lot of pressure off me and my family. Sally was always there to offer advice when necessary. The day went so smoothly and they had everything totally under control Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for taking such good care of my Mum.

May I say a huge and heartfelt thanks to Sally and the team at MLS following the passing of my beloved dad this September (2022). Living abroad added to our complications, however nothing was too much trouble and Sally was available every time I contacted, by phone or email and the whole end to end process was slick, professional and perfection. From initial call, all legal processes, service preperation and appointing of Celebrant (huge thanks to Tony Packwood) - mostly conducted by email and PDF paperwork - I was led through everything and no stone was left unturned. Having flown over for the service, I could not have wished for a better final journey for my dad. So thanks again Sally, and all MLS - you have a special place in my heart forever.

The most wonderful, respectful, caring and professional company with whom, unfortunately, due to the recent passing of my mother, I have had to deal. Nothing was too much trouble. Their guidance was sympathetic but also practical. I know, from relatives, the prices that have been charged for funerals and although there was no expense being spared for my mother’s, this truly caring, family firm did not try to β€œSell” me anything other than what we wanted and what they saw as appropriate for ours and my mother wishes. Amazing people, our gratitude will abide.

To Lisa and all the amazing family team at MLS. As a family we can't thank you enough for what you did for Ethel in her final days. We feel she was treated with so much love, kindness, respect and dignity, something this amazing lady truly deserved. Her Funeral, though different was beautiful, peaceful and elegant and she would have been so proud. You were all amazing and took all the pressure off the whole family, your kindness and professionalism was second to none and we honestly can't thank you enough. If you had met Ethel personally you would have loved her, she was such a warm, caring, loving and beautiful lady who was loved by everyone. Thank you for giving her the dignity she deserved. We honestly all felt that being with MLS she was a family. MLS You were fantastic, you were above and beyond and we are all truly thankful for that. Thank you from the bottom of our heart, you made the sun shine on the saddest day. Love Carol, Ron and family. x

Dear Team, Can I thank you for my Mothers Funeral yesterday. The service was excellent and your work was of the highest standard. My Brother, and I agree that, we did as much as we could and the whole episode was handled as good as we could have hoped. "The casket for Mum was striking, and beautiful!"- "A lovely service, Your Mum would be Proud and delighted with the arrangements!" "A lovely peaceful setting for your Mums Funeral!"- "A really well put together service!" "You couldn't have done it better, that was spot on!" These were some of the comments from my family, even those who watched from outside. My Brother and I, had the responsibility to arrange and deliver the service, but your firm must take a lot of credit for the actual funeral and all the assistance and advice you gave us. I would recommend your services to all, your reputation, and your locality prompted us to approach your Business, and you certainly delivered. I wish Mum could have seen it! Family are now watching the service online, and have been very complimentary in their responses. All are worries proved unfounded, and we are also at peace now,…

To Lisa and all the team at MLS. Many thanks once again for all the compassion and understanding that you brought to Mum's funeral in what were clearly very challenging circumstances due to restrictions caused by the Covid19 crisis. You were all as professional and dignified as ever and the service was all that we could have wished for. God bless and thank you so much. Graham and Tricia Mawdsley
