Finding the right funeral director is not easy, Paul was fantastic & took over everything at such a traumatic time, he thought of everything.

I would like to thank & highly recommended Paul and Morse Funeral Services for my mother's funeral which was handled in a compassionate, personal and professional manner.

-- B. Sones

Paul handled our funeral with the greatest respect and finest aplomb. Coming to our home made the anxiousness fade away, I would have hated to sit in a funeral parlour to discuss my mother at such a painful and agonising time.

-- Ms. Bruce

Morse Funeral Services provided a 5 star service for my father's funeral. From the first call and home visit to the day of the funeral the professionalism and caring support shown by Morse Funeral Services made a very difficult time manageable.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Paul for making me feel, in your treatment of my Dad, that he was as special to you as he is and will always be to me.

-- C. Edwards

Paul arranged my mother’s funeral and it was a perfect tribute to her. He made the arranging of it easy and comfortable. He was kind, calm & professional and made all the family feel secure.

-- I. Norton

Paul showed great compassion & gave great advice and direction to our family at a very difficult time. Being able to come to our family home, made things a lot easier when planning our Nan’s funeral

-- Mrs H. Brown

We chose Morse funeral services because we had recommendations and read the reviews on line. What you can't get through reading the reviews is the actual care and dedication that Paul puts into the quality of service he provides. Paul started as just a man who took on dad's funeral but left as a member of our extended family.

-- The Hopcroft Family

Morse Funeral Services were outstanding right from my initial contact. The kindness and professionalism shown by Paul is exceptional. His attention to every detail is amazing and ensured we had everything we needed to have the respectful service we wanted. I would highly recommend.

-- A. Heath

I was privileged enough to have Paul look after my mums funeral 8 months ago. So when my dad passed it was an obvious choice to ask him to look after my dad. His attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. The care and understanding makes the whole process bearable. I would never use anyone else.

-- K. Friend

Paul's kindness and professionalism shone through from the very first phone call. He has a calm, compassionate, respectful manner which immediately inspires confidence. He expertly arranged the funeral service. Every aspect of bereavement was covered including advice and support in dealing with the loss of a loved one after the funeral.

-- Dr. Assaf

The funeral of my darling sister was a dignified, beautiful, glorious send off. Paul Morse dealt with everything with, grace, friendship and professionalism. I strongly recommend their services.

-- The Taylforth Family

Amazing service from arranging the funeral to the day of the service. Paul was very understanding to the requests we made, he went above and beyond. You will not get a better funeral director.

-- D. Bala

I am not sure if there are words sufficient to express the gratitude we have for the care we have received from Paul and the team during our time of grief, nothing was too much for him!. The costs were very reasonable and all of the information you need is available on their website which wasn't the case for the others we looked at. Someone told me you get a gut feeling when you find the right person to support you during your time of grief; Morse funeral services went above and beyond!
