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.

We said we wanted a requiem mass in England, followed by land/sea travel back to Dublin for a burial in Dad's home city. Dean Harper's FD organised everything in a very professional manner with all details considered. They drove my father right through to the FD's premises in Dublin. We found it a very smooth process, which helped so much when grief is hard to manage. I wholly recommend this company to anyone else, as I am sure the service we received is of the standard provided to others. Thank you.

From the moment we connected with Dean and his team, however, they provided a steadying hand, guiding us through each step with compassion and professionalism. They were not only approachable and empathetic but also exceptionally efficient, offering insightful suggestions and keeping us updated at every stage. Anna Marie, the celebrant, was truly outstanding. She took the time to visit us, asking thoughtful questions and putting together a beautiful, heartfelt service. The eulogy she crafted perfectly captured our dad’s life beautifully, honouring the special man that he was. Every detail was handled with care and precision. The hearse and cars were immaculate, the flower arrangements were fresh, beautifully arranged, and reasonably priced. On the day of the service, Dean directed his team flawlessly, ensuring everything ran smoothly and respectfully. I wholeheartedly recommend this business to anyone who has lost a loved one. Dean and his team are exceptional people who go above and beyond to make a painful process easier to bear. Their “nothing is too much trouble” attitude, combined with genuine empathy and attention to detail, made us feel supported throughout, allowing us to give our dad the farewell he truly deserved. Our deepest gratitude goes to Dean and his team for making such a difficult time a little more manageable.

Dean and his team very caringly took care of everything when we said goodbye to my father in law. Nothing was too much trouble and the patience was endless. I cannot recommend Dean and also Anna enough. Even when mums new shoe split completely and there was a dental incident… Read more Dean and his team very caringly took care of everything when we said goodbye to my father in law. Nothing was too much trouble and the patience was endless. I cannot recommend Dean and also Anna enough. Even when mums new shoe split completely and there was a dental incident too you took it all in your stride while we believe Dad had the last laugh! Thank you so much xx

I turned out to be his nearest next-of-kin and so it fell to me to make all the arrangements for his funeral, cremation and interment in a pre-existing grave-plot he had provided for his late partner and himself. Dean Harper Funeral Directors were recommended to me by the priest during my long-distance arrangements with him - and I have to say I have been very impressed indeed by the company’s caring professionalism and first-class service in every aspect of this sad occasion. I was able to discuss every detail with Dean over the phone and between us, we were able to provide my cousin with the best possible send-off. His headstone, too, was handled by the company’s own stonemasons and his inscription was able to be planned and executed exactly as I wished. I would heartily recommend Dean Harper Funeral Directors as being a particularly caring, adaptable, sympathetic and professional company.
