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.
Lewis and the whole team looked after our family following the loss of my Mum.Lewis was extremely professional and compassionate and guided us through the whole process, nothing was too much trouble. We can't thank him and the team enough.We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lewis to any family.
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.
Professionalism, respect, care and compassion were all shown during my husband's funeral arrangements, by Lewis and his team.They provided an excellent service which I am extremely grateful for. I would highly recommend.Thank you.
Lewis and the whole team at Lewis Northen Independent Funeral Directors in Beverley were truly the most wonderfully caring, trustworthy and genuinely professional people you could ever wish to look after you and your loved one when they depart this life. Within seconds of making a call we spoke Vanessa our decision was made, these were the right choice to look after dad. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for taking care of everything so beautifully and respectfully.
Well, what can you say that has not already been said in the previous posts. The whole family can not recommend and praise Lewis and his team (family) for the support given during the laying to rest on my Nanna.Every member of team from the very first call to the laying to rest of my Nanna were exemplary.I would never think twice to recommend or unfortunately use Lewis Northen Independent Funeral Directors again.Lewis ..... Don't change a thing ' perfect ' Than You
Thank you for an exceptional service provided for my Grandad, Len. Lewis and the team showed respect, compassion and complete professionalism throughout the process. They were more than willing and happy to travel a 400 mile round trip to ensure my Grandad could be laid to rest in his home town. If you are looking for peace of mind and a company you can rely then Lewis and the team are the ones to use. Thanks again!
We would like to thank Lewis and his team for the wonderful way in which my mother in law's funeral was arranged and conducted. He took away so much of the unavoidable stress that occurs following the death of a family member, and we will not forget his kindess and compassion. I would unreservedly recommend his services to anyone searching for a funeral director.
I have nothing but praise for Lewis and his team. From the initial meeting to the funeral everything was dealt with in a compassionate and professional manner . Every question was answered fully, every detail explained and our requests carried out perfectly.
I cannot recommend Lewis and his team highly enough. So compassionate and at the same time professional, he looked after us and our departed loved one so well from start to finish. Everything was perfect on the day.
Lewis and his team looked after our family following the passing of my step-father. Lewis was sensitive, compassionate, caring and approachable. As soon as we met him we knew we had chosen the right funeral director. Lewis, thank you for everything you did and the way you and your team went about it.
A totally personal and professional service. The whole team were so kind and helpful whilst we were working through all the decisions to make dad’s service exactly what we wanted.The team kept close to us the whole way through with phone calls and emails. Nothing was too much trouble. There is nothing more we could have asked of them. They guided us through every step and that is what you need in such an upsetting time.Thank you once again Lewis and team 😊
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. We felt as a family that we could reach out at any time if we needed to and ultimately he was comforting, supportive and compassionate. Lewis’ kindness transcends the job itself and he went way above and beyond for us as a family and for that I am forever grateful. Without hesitation, I cannot recommend Lewis Northen enough should anyone find themselves in these particularly unfortunate circumstances. Thank you again Lewis, from the bottom of my heart. Mark Wood.
Lewis and his team recently looked after my dad after he passed away suddenly on Christmas Day.In my role as a celebrant, I work closely with Lewis on a regular basis and his professionalism, care and compassion has always impressed me.We didn’t imagine having to call Lewis to help our family but we couldn’t have received better support.He and his team went above and beyond to ensure my dad was looked after with dignity and incredible care.The whole team couldn’t do enough for us as a family and helped to guide us through everything with patience, kindness and attention to detail.Losing such an important person in our lives so suddenly was such a shock and we couldn’t fault how wonderful Lewis and his team were in supporting us.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lewis to any family facing loss. We can’t thank him and his team enough.Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are a credit to the funeral industry.Thank you.Teresa, Katy and Mark Wood

I would like to extend thanks from all my family to Lewis and his team for their care and attention to detail that allowed Dad's funeral to be an occasion full of love and laughter.
It takes a very special person to do the job they do and it shows. The most professional, caring and personal service from start to finish. Dealt with dad's funeral in exactly the way he wanted. The service and attention to detail is brilliant. I could not fault a single thing.

I don't know really where to start. Lewis and his team are simply amazing at what they do. Respectful, professional they truly care that your loved one and your family get exactly what is needed at such a difficult time. I thank Lewis from the bottom of my heart for making the darkest of days just a little bit easier. Thank you from Hayley Stone and the family of Jean Codd.
Lewis Northen was absolutely amazing every step of the way, no request was too much for them and they made a very difficult time feel easier than it should have been. Would definitely recommend.
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.

I am extremely happy with the service offered by Lewis and his team. This is a true family business and their professionalism, compassion and understanding went above and beyond.

At what was a very difficult time, Lewis Northen made the whole funeral process as smooth as possible. Lewis and the team were really professional throughout all of our dealings and we would like to pass on our sincere thanks to Lewis, Kirsty and the team. Thank you, Janet, Mike and Phil Hargreaves
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.
Highly recommend the attentive, sympathetic and professional service offered by Lewis and all of his team, which resulted in a wonderful send-off for my amazing Dad in a unique resting place - a first for us all.
On behalf of the family, thank you Lewis for providing us with all the help, advice and support we needed in arranging our father’s funeral. Your personal involvement both beforehand and throughout the day itself was very reassuring. First class.

Thank you from Jessica, Hannah and Dave.
Dear Lewis and Team, We cannot thank you enough for not only directing a beautiful funeral service for our father but also for taking care of us all in such a compassionate, professional, calm way when we were all in our hour of need, each in our different ways! The day could not have gone better and that was down to yourself. Huge, huge thanks, Emma and the Dawber Family
I wanted a local family firm in Beverley to entrust with the care of my mum at this sad time. Lewis and his family team have been wonderful. Caring, Professional and attentive with every last detail....Thank you
Lewis and all the team at Lewis Northern Independent Funeral Directors could not have done more to guide us through this very difficult time. They supported us every step of the way and most importantly we felt that our Dad was given a very dignified resting period and ultimately the service was both beautiful and very well organised,. We felt everything was thought of in order to make our grieving process less stressful and more focused on our family needs. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Lewis NIFD.
Massive thank you to Lewis, Kirsty and team. Going above and beyond to make sure my mum was taken good care of every step of the way. They’re family certainly do take care of yours & made every step at this hard time to make sure I was at comfort and so was my dearest mum. Could not of asked for a better send off or anyone better to do help deal with the loss of such a close family member. A family company that should be extremely proud of their efforts, it certainly made this time in my life as smooth as it could of been. Thank you again❤️
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.
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.
