Choosing a funeral director during a difficult time is a decision that carries immense weight, but I am grateful to have worked with Dean and his outstanding team. From start to finish, their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made a profound difference during what was an emotionally challenging period for my family and me.
Dean, Anna and the team provided unwavering empathy and support throughout the process. Their ability to listen, guide, and respond to our needs was truly remarkable. They took the time to understand our wishes my late moms wishes and ensured every element of the service aligned with our family requirements. Their kindness made us feel comforted and cared for at every step.
From the initial planning stages to the day of the service itself, everything was executed seamlessly. They handled logistics with expertise and sensitivity, ensuring that we could focus on celebrating the life of our mom Margaret, without worrying about technicalities. The arrangements were impeccable, reflecting the dignity and respect she deserved.
What set Dean Harper Funeral Directors apart was their ability to personalise every aspect of the service. Whether it was the selection of flowers, the music, or the ceremony structure, they worked tirelessly to incorporate details that made the service unique and meaningful for our family. Dean and his teams dedication to creating a deeply personal farewell was evident in every aspect.
Dean, Anna and the team went above and beyond, exceeding every expectation we had. They were not just professionals but compassionate and treated our family as their own. Their combination of expertise and genuine care ensured that this challenging time was met with grace and dignity.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend these funeral directors highly enough. Their exceptional service provided us with peace of mind and a meaningful, beautiful farewell for our mom. If you are looking for a team who will offer unparalleled support, care, and professionalism, look no further. Five stars, and heartfelt gratitude.

Unfortunately this year our mom passed away, & the hardest part of a death for us were getting the funeral arrangements made, our only choice & moms choice was Dean Harper Funeral Directors as we knew of there 5star service that is offered, everything from the day of moms passing to the funeral arrangements , the funeral day & afterwards was an impeccable service we received, our meeting with Dean to make arrangements were made easier because of the professionalism within the meeting , with so much covered, that as a grieving family , we would not think of, & Deans team the follow up calls to ensure all is well with everything regarding all arrangements that mom & our family wanted to make this day as special as we could for our mom. With the funeral day we under estimated the attendance ensuring Dean Harper about 70-80 people in attendance, with actually 120 ish people there , nothing changed the smooth running of the day, with the continued professional service we had received during the arrangements.
Thankyou Dean Harper & your team for your exemplary arrangements & professionalism for our mom’s funeral , ‘Margaret Morris’

We used Dean Harper's for my mother in-law's funeral in Jan 2025. From the very start all the staff we dealt with, we're all compassionate, considerate and very understanding.
From the very first contact they helped and guided us all the way through the difficult choices we had to make as a family. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
We would highly recommend Dean and his team to others.

My sister and I talked to Dean Harper about having a small intimate funeral for our mom with just our 2 families. He tailored it perfectly for us, and Anna-Marie made us so comfortable talking about our memories of mom, and the funny times we had growing up, we even had a laugh. We would highly recommend Dean Harper funeral services. Best wishes to all the team. Paul wigfield

When our mother passed away, the staff at Dean Harper Funeral Directors treated our father and us, her children, with the utmost compassion and respect. All aspects of arranging the funeral were conducted with professionalism and efficiency, and we received a lot of help with the various decisions that had to be made.
The funeral was conducted as efficiently as the arrangements had been, from pickup to drop off at the wake. We have no hesitation in giving five stars to Dean Harper Funeral Directors and recommending the use of their services.

After losing my brother at such a young age in January this year we thought the whole world had ended, However with just 1 call to Dean Harper we had an appointment super quick where we sat and was explained everything, Dean helped in every possible way and there was no time limit to the meeting with him we organised everything and his team took over from then, Carrie in particular was amazing with me I called so many times and it was never too much trouble we went to see him in the chapel of rest where he was clearly very well looked after by them, on the day they arrived promptly Dean explained everything to me it was so organised and the whole team looked after us all so well nothing I can say will ever thank you enough for your care and support amazing team highly recommended ♥️

"I truly don’t have the words to express the incredible care and compassion shown by the entire team at Dean Harper. After the loss of my dad, they handled everything with such professionalism and kindness—from the smallest of questions to every detail throughout the process. Everything was smooth, respectful, and thoughtfully managed. I’m beyond grateful for their support during such a difficult time. A heartfelt thank you to Dean, Anne-Marie, Carrie, Liam, and Michelle."

Losing my beloved only child has been the worst experience of my life especially as it happened suddenly and unexpectedly.
I do not know how I would have coped without the care, support and professionalism of Dean and his team.
From the first phone call to Dean my family and I could not have been in better hands. Dean came to my home and talked me through a process at a time when I was at my lowest point. His calm, thoughtful and commited presence made Dan's final journey so dignified and I cannot thank him and his team enough.
I was kept informed at all times of where Dan was and the attention to detail shown him. My boy could not have been in better hands.
On the day of the funeral Dean made himself available at all times and gave me space to have some final moments with Dan.
Everybody who attended commented on how well Dan's funeral had been undertaken. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I wholly recommend Dean Harper Funeral Directors. They genuinely care about each deceased person who they look after and the family and friends of that person. I cannot thank them enough.

We chose Dean Harper for my mother in laws funeral care based on the glowing reviews we read here and the transparency of their website. We cannot thank Dean Harper enough for the care and consideration they took when talking us through everything and helping with what was needed and what to do next as it were. Particular thanks go to Liam and Anna-Marie who were with us at the funeral and Anna-Marie who took such care to write a fantastic story for my mother in law Sheila. Though such a sad day for us all, we will remember the fantastic service and kindness shown by all the people that we had contact with at Dean Harpers, knowing that with their help, my mother in law had a beautiful send off.

We are most appreciative of the kindness and support that Dean and his team provided to us upon the death of my mother.
They were very organised and helpful in planning the funeral and advising us on what options were available to us.
Throughout this difficult period, they were very respectful of our feelings and genuinely wanted to help us.

My mother received a very dignified and respectful funeral. It was delivered exactly according to our families wishes.

Many thanks

We would like to thank Dean and his team for their constant care and support when my Father recently passed away. Having been recommended to us, from the moment of first contact to the day of my Fathers funeral we received kindness and respect and dignity was given to Dad throughout. The kindness, tenderness and care given to us all, especially to my Mother was heartwarming. Nothing was too much trouble. Dean and his team were so professional and on the day of Dad's funeral, the cars were beautiful and gleaming and we were gently guided step by step throughout Dad's funeral. It was completely heartwarming as a surprise personal touch by Dean to have a picture of a boat displayed on the screen at the crematorium in honour of Dad. Thank you, from us all. we would wholeheartedly recommend Dean Harper Funerals to anyone who should find themselves in the sad position of losing a loved one.

My mum passed away three years ago, and I was so fortunate that the care home recommended Dean Harper and his colleagues. Recently I found myself having to arrange my father's funeral, and asking Dean again to look after my dad was an obvious choice. The care and support that Dean provides is second to none. I knew that my father was in safe hands, and Dean and his team guided me every step of the way, through the admin and organisation in the first few days, and then on the day of the funeral itself. They made everything so much easier for me, and their care is exemplary. I am so grateful to them, and would recommend them to all who are in the sad position of needing their services.
