Selecting a funeral director is an important decision and one that often has to be made in the midst of the worst sadness and loss one could experience. For a family to choose a particular funeral director demonstrates great trust and the upkeep of that trust is crucial to the grieving process.

At Evergreen we believe a good funeral director should always:

  • Take the time to find out about the person who has died and what they were like,
  • Care for that person in a dignified and respectful manner,
  • Respect the family’s needs and be on hand to offer them advice, but…
  • Never pressurise them into anything which they don’t want or require.

When searching for a funeral director we always recommend that you do your research on the companies you are considering contacting, prior to doing so. With so much being online nowadays, a quick google search is usually a good starting point. When you do get in touch, have a pen and paper handy to make notes and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Some useful questions to ask might be:

  • Who owns the company? Is it a family-run business or part of a large chain?
  • Are you a member of one of the two main funeral trade associations (NAFD or SAIF)? Can I see your code of conduct?
  • Where can I see testimonials from previous families you have looked after?
  • How much might a funeral cost? Are there any hidden extras? Can I see a copy of your price list?
  • Who is involved in helping my family? Will it be the same person throughout?
  • Can you come to my home to make the funeral arrangements? Is there a charge for this?

Of course you may well have other specific questions you want to ask; remember who you use is your choice. Make sure you are satisfied with the responses you are given before committing to using that service. We’re the kind of company that won’t put any pressure on you to use our services, but if you do have any questions, we will always endeavour to answer them clearly and confidently.

There are not the words to express the kindness and compassion showed by the incredible staff at Evergreen. Steve Gary and Mike. They made everything absolutely perfect for us at an incredible sad time, the personal touches was heartfelt even the night they left our home after showing such dignity and leaving my husbands bedroom bed made and a teddy in place, this may not mean a lot to others but for us it really did, Nothing and I mean nothing was to much trouble for us. If I could give more stars 🌟 I definitely would.
Best wishes to all at Evergreen 💚

I cannot thank Steve, Gary & Mike enough for the care, compassion, and support they gave my dad and our family during such a difficult time. From start to finish, they treated my dad with so much dignity, respect, and pride, which meant more to us than words can say.
Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they truly went above and beyond in every way. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care brought us so much comfort, and over time they came to feel more like family than anything else.
They made an incredibly hard time that little bit easier to get through, and we will always be grateful for everything they did for my dad and for all of us. The flowers were also absolutely gorgeous and such a thoughtful touch, and the VW campervan was absolutely immaculate a perfect send-off.
A truly amazing team who clearly care deeply about what they do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

Gary and Steve and the full team at Evergreen could not have been more incredible when dealing with my grandfather’s funeral arrangements. They were incredibly understanding, compassionate and kind. We felt completely at ease knowing that my grandfather would be looked after all the way to the funeral service and beyond. We cannot thank them enough and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone having to deal with what is an incredibly difficult and emotional situation. Thank you.

Steve provided an exceptional level of care and professionalism during what was an incredibly difficult time. From the very first contact, he was compassionate, patient, and understanding, taking the time to explain every step of the process without ever making things feel overwhelming.
His attention to detail was outstanding. Every aspect of the service was handled smoothly and with dignity, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. They listened carefully to our family’s wishes and went above and beyond to create a service that felt personal and meaningful, truly reflecting the life of our beautiful mam.
Communication was clear and consistent throughout, which brought a great deal of reassurance. They were always available to answer questions and offered gentle guidance when decisions felt difficult.
On the day of the funeral, everything ran seamlessly. The team conducted themselves with quiet professionalism and respect, helping to create a calm and supportive atmosphere for everyone attending.
Overall, their kindness, organisation, and genuine empathy made a very hard experience much more manageable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of thoughtful and reliable funeral care. Thank you Steve and Gary you really are amazing x

Absolutely amazing, we used Evergreen Funeral Services when my little sister sadly passed away, we had been to see her a few times and can honestly say, wow... they took the best care of her... from the day I called and up until right her funeral, we had non stop support from Steve.

The circumstances are absolutely awful but Evergreens make it that touch easier, guiding you along the way!

Thank you Steve and team!
