Having just lost my son to suicide Lewis handled all the arrangements with kindness, compassion and respect. The service ran like clockwork and his attention to detail was first class, no funeral is nice but he ensured my precious son’s final journey and service were a perfect memorial. I would not ever consider using anyone else in future, thanks so much Lewis xx

Impeccable service!I wanted to wait to post my feedback as I wanted to do it with reflection.It has been over a year now since Lewis and his team cared for the funeral of my father, Len King. Nothing was too complex, and my mind was put at ease at our first appointment with Lewis. The request for the Flying Scotsman and hymn music score transfers on either side of his coffin, to the complex need of the two funeral services; one they carried out in Beverley and then, working alongside the directors in Suffolk, the other to my father’s hometown in Sudbury (just under 400 miles round trip). Their professionalism throughout was, as I started with, impeccable. The care and respect shown to my father was over and above my expectations and the attention to detail was handed with such care, including my father’s Braille copy of St John’s gospel being placed in his hands as if reading, such detail.I can only say again………. thank you, thank you, thank you.

At a time when emotions are running high and thought processes diminished by grief, it was an enormous comfort to leave the entire difficult process to Lewis, Vanessa and their team. From the very outset they were model professionals handling endless queries with calmness and real empathy. Mum’s funeral was exactly what she wanted. My family are very grateful for the wonderful care she received.This is a young business but please be assured they are at the top of their game.

Lewis was recommended to me and I was really impressed with his service. He was respectful without being oleaginous and carried out my requests with the minimum of fuss. This young man deserves to succeed and I wish him well.

I have nothing but praise for Lewis and Vanessa at Lewis Northen Funeral Directors. From my very first enquiry through to the funeral itself, they handled the whole process with compassion, empathy and supreme attention to detail.In my mind, it’s no good being caring if you’re incompetent; equally, highly competent but no warmth or care in this industry wouldn’t work either. I’m pleased to say Lewis and Vanessa were professionals of the highest order as well as being just brilliant to deal with at a very difficult time.They called when they said they would, emailed when they said they would, dealt with everything as they said they would - I know this should be the same for every firm (in all industries) but it’s just not in my experience. Too much over promising and under delivering / but not here.Lewis promised that we’d be well looked after and he and Vanessa lived up to our expectations in every aspect.Calm, caring, reassuring, dignified, professional - I can’t see why you’d want any other firm to look after one of your loved ones at such a time.Thank you!

I first heard about Lewis Northen Funeral Services a couple of years ago and learning that he was an independent funeral director really appealed, the fact that he was from Beverley was even better. Sadly my sister and I lost our Mum a little while ago, I suggested Lewis to my family. Completely the right decision. Lewis and his colleagues took great care of Mum and us as a family. Professional, respectful, caring and compassionate, also friendly. We could not have been more pleased. Thank you all very much.

Lewis took great care of my dad after we lost him suddenly on Christmas day. I have the utmost respect for Lewis and his very dedicated team.

Just to say a huge thank you for dealing with Mums funeral, for helping and guiding me and making sure everything was perfect on the day.Never having arranged a funeral before you made it so easy, reminding me of things I needed to do and assisting in choosing the right thing. Mums funeral was perfect in every way. I don't think I could have changed anything to make it better. She would have been so pleased.Your sensitivity, quiet reserve and respect for Mum, myself and the family could not be surpassed. Your timely prompting and guidance made everything flow smoothly and your walk in front of the hearse, so unexpected and reverent gave all of us in the car an extra special memory.Thanks too to your office staff and pall bearers, behind the scenes but so important to the smooth running of the business.On behalf of Mums family and friends thank you so much.

Lewis was very attentive, extremely professional, detailed and caring in his approach. I liked the fact that it is a family run company that still offers traditional values and does not rush you through the various decisions, whilst being on hand 24 hours a day if needed. Would highly recommend.

Lewis organised everything for my mum's cremation with great care, respect and thoughtfulness. He guided us with real kindness at very sad time and made us feel that we could have asked him for anything and nothing was too much trouble. The service was exactly how we wanted it to be.

When my Dad passed away we wanted a local, family-run Funeral Director to take care of arrangements. Lewis Northern is the only family-run funeral Director in Beverley and we greatly appreciated the attention, care to detail, and personal touch that the firm provided. My family would recommend his services to anyone.

Jack Sykes

20:00 23 Jul 21

We chose Lewis Northern to conduct my father’s funeral, and it was the best decision we could have made. Every element was conducted with the utmost professionalism and dignity.Throughout the process Lewis was kind, respectful and efficient. He was entirely transparent about costings, and his professional opinion was invaluable in helping us make decisions. His attention to detail is absolute, and the team’s work on the day was seamless. Lewis took the time to explain to our family pallbearers how the coffin would be removed from the hearse and the correct way to carry it; something which my uncle tells me he has never experienced before, despite having attended a great many funerals.We could not be more grateful for the impeccable service Lewis provided our family at this awful time. We are so glad we chose to entrust Dad to his care.
