Debbie Collins Independent Funeral Director

A genuine person who cares about those who have passed and their relatives. Debbie is a local lady with years of local experience - you can truly trust her to handle all affairs in a sensitive and caring way - highly recommend.

I was impressed with Debbie Collins' from the initial contact. She clearly outlined the process and the prices involved, what was included. Although not the cheapest she was very competitive. Once we decided to use her, she made the appointment with the crematorium right there and then, and she gave very good recommendations throughout the consultation process and arranged a very good celebrant. Communication was excellent and I received plenty of compliments from attendees as to how well the ceremony went. She made what is a stressful time as smooth as she could, and I would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending Debbie Collins's service.

Debbie helped us to deliver the very best funerals for Dad and more recently Mum. I am struggling to find adequate words to sufficiently recommend her. On both occasions she made a challenging time easier, through her professional and knowledgeable approach. She really cares about getting things right for families, and delivering the very best funeral arrangements. Her kindness is incredible, she and her team really care, which really matters so much. I wish I could articulate our gratitude better, however, all I can say is you really won't regret using Debbie's services at a difficult time, as she will truly deliver, while being so sensitive and caring. She truly wants to provide the funeral that you envision and will do everything possible to deliver it for you. Very highly recommended. Thank you so much Debbie and team.

A Compassionate and Professional Service Led by Debbie. In one of the most difficult times of our lives, we were truly fortunate to have Debbie guide us through the process of arranging our mother’s funeral. With her vast experience in the field and her deeply compassionate nature, Debbie made what could have been an overwhelming experience into something beautifully manageable. From the moment we met Debbie, it was clear that she wasn’t just a funeral director; she was someone who genuinely cared about our family and our loss. Her kindness, honesty, and sincere empathy shone through in every interaction. It felt less like we were dealing with a professional and more like we were being supported by a dear friend. Despite handling everything on her own, Debbie ensured that nothing was too much trouble. She was always available to answer our questions and address our concerns, making sure that every detail was taken care of with the utmost care and attention. Her extensive experience and connections in the field meant that all the necessary arrangements were smoothly coordinated, allowing the day to transpire without a single hitch. Debbie provided a service that went beyond what we could have ever expected. The entire process was handled with grace, dignity, and a personal touch that brought us comfort and peace during a very difficult time. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements. You will be in caring and capable hands. Thankyou Debbie from Carmine Tony, Maria and family.Moreexpand_more

Choosing Debbie Collins for my Dads natural burial turned out to be a wise choice. Having never arranged a funeral before her experience and kind straightforward manner was exactly what we needed. We were able to make the right choices for the day. Fitting to do so with an independent local director, situated in such a peaceful beautiful place. As a family we we fully recommend her. .

A big thank you to Debbie and her team who worked with us to organise my Father's funeral. Very professional and nothing was too much trouble and it was reassuring to know that he was in safe hands for his final journey. Debbie made herself available for any questions we had and the day went beautifully. I would not hesitate to recommend Debbie to anybody who is sadly going through this process - it was nice to use a local, independent company. Our thanks, once again from our family to yours.

Thank you so much to Debbie and the team for the great care they took of Mum and helping to arrange a lovely send off for her. It's lovely to have such a personal, friendly service at a difficult time and Debbie couldn't have been more helpful. Always willing to answer queries and nothing ever felt like it was too much trouble. A sincere thank you for providing such a great service.

My wife died suddenly and unexpectedly at only 62 and it has been a very upsetting and confusing time for the family. Perhaps too early, we called several funeral directors while we were still in a state of shock, but chose Debbie as she seemed to be the most helpful and kind. Throughout the process Debbie has always responded very quickly to every question and request we've had, whatever time we had them, and kept us informed at all stages. I really felt that she was helping us have the service we wanted: there was no sense of being pushed into anything that was not right for us and we were never made to feel that we were asking for things that were awkward or inconvenient. Obviously it has been far from a pleasant time and I dread the idea of having another bereavement but I would have no hesitation in going back to Debbie Thank-you very much for what you did for us Debbie. .

Debbie was fabulous and made a traumatic time that bit easier. The chapel of rest was beautiful and I felt happy leaving my Grandmother in her caring hands. Thank you to Debbie and all her team for helping us give her a beautiful send off.

Debbie and her team were very helpful in making the day what I wanted and did so with great empathy and a supportive smile Cindy.

Debbie Collins is a truely a caring person and is passionate about providing a 5 star service. Nothing is to much trouble and the services provided are professional and I felt without fault, exempelary. This proffesional attitude has been passed on to all her staff, they are polite respectful and caring. I cannot thank them enough for helping me lay my wife to rest.

I cannot find the words to do justice to Debbie and her team. From the first phone call the service we received was second to none. Our family felt we were wrapped in a warm blanket of reassurance. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole experience was so positive and we were able to celebrate my husband's life just as we wanted. Our grandsons carried the coffin and Debbie's staff were so friendly and helpful to them and gave them confidence to carry out the last thing they could do for their grandad. Thank you Debbie and staff, you're wonderful people. Jackie Rayner.

Debbie made what is one of life’s most traumatic events as warm and memorable as we could have possibly hoped for. Approachable, practical and kind, Debbie enabled us to make the celebration of my Mum’s life special to her and for us. It was a joyous occasion that everyone will hold dear forever.

Although the funeral was lovely, some aspects of the behind the scenes administration could have been handled differently, resulting in us feeling let down and frustrated at a difficult time. In the end we were informed that we would have to "agree to disagree".

Debbie Collins gave a fantastic service a very professional experience. I felt that not only was my wife cared for in a professional caring manner, that I made a friend also not only did this service go on till my wife was cremated but this carried on afterwards. Nothing was too much trouble. I am so impressed with the way Debbie treated my family as well as my wife that I want Debbie to deal with my funeral when the time comes. In my opinion Debbie is the best.

Debbie looked after my close friend Philis as if she herself had known Philis all her life. That meant every attention to detail was exactly what Philis would have wanted. At the end of the day you want someone who takes time to get to know the person you lost and truly does them justice … Philis would have written a 5 star review herself for sure if she could have seen it all for herself. You only get one shot at getting it right and Debbie and her team surpassed all expectations at all stages.

Debbie came highly recommended after the sudden unexpected passing of my husband earlier this year, I found Debbie really helpful and supportive, talks you through every detail of the day and and is always available if you have questions or need anything via the telephone. Made me feel at ease about the planning and the day ahead. I would highly recommend Debbie.

Debbie is such a lovely caring lady and is very professional in everything she does. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is going through bereavement, nothing is too much trouble, she's available for you at all times throughout, and, her aftercare should you require it is second to none, she helped me with ashes into Jewellery. Her offices are in such a tranquil setting and for me that added to the personal touch. Thank you Debbie x.

Debbie made me feel relaxed. We didn’t use her for my husband’s funeral but she helped me to get a ring made from his ashes. Explained everything to me and how the process worked. Would recommend her to anyone.
