A & M Hadfield Funeral Director Ltd

It was one of the hardest times in my life. Ive never buried a loved one before and the process was daunting from start to finish. Both me and my sister, Abby, were in for an emotional rollercoaster. Hadfields came by recommendation, they helped cremate my Aunty around 15 years ago, and a few weeks ago they did the same for my dad. I was mainly in contact with 2 members of the funeral team, Beverly & Mark Hawksworth . Its gotta be stated- theyre 2 of the most down to earth & caring people I have ever talked to in my life. Thats not an understatement. They would often call up to see how things were, keeping me and my family in the loop at all times. They made the process easier and more loving than I could have ever imagined. My grandparents are old, they cant get out and about, therefore Mark & Allan Senior (The Funeral Celebrant) came to their house, sat down with family and discussed everything we needed to know and do. Its that kind of service to your craft that puts people at ease and gives you a good feeling about the overall process. My gran wants Mark to plan her funeral, Haha, that was a funny moment at the family meeting. Mark is professional, down to earth and very caring. Allan also had to sieve through 6 people giving him information all at once! Telling stories and writing down the life of my beloved dad. He did a fantastic job with the final script, and everyone loved the stories he re-told and the energy he put into the telling of his life. Bastard. Allan, like Mark, was down to earth- an excellent communicator and very caring with topics that are close to people's hearts. The team was there 10 mins before the service, punctual , respecful, dutiful. They gave us tips on how to carry the coffin, they gave us notes on the service. They were there and present at all times. It was a feeling of care, you could rely on them. Trust them. The service was lovely. The flowers (wild flowers) were beautiful. The team let us carry in the coffin, the Intro/Eulogy and Committal by Allan was lovely. The music was spot on. Huge note! My grandad sadly had some heart complications before the funeral, Mark and the team went out of their way to set up a camera, to record the event and publish it on an online portal so he can watch it in his own time. Again, kind and thoughtful. Beverly phoned me up a few days after the funeral to check if the family was alright & if I was in good spirits. What a kind, lovely lady. Its strange- not many people in everyday life would go the extra mile to just check up on you. We had a soulful talk and I don't think I will ever forget her voice. Hahaha. She often called me lad, which was lovely. I've missed the friendliness of Yorkshire folk. Hadfields have managed to master their craft: that is I think, the looking after of others when rocks fall from the heavens and hit your heart strings. I think they could be angels. No, they must be angels. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. The Midgley clan.

At a time of utter and absolute grief, a gentle guiding light came into my life. Julie Hudson and her colleagues. I followed that light as there was no where else to go. Blessings to you all and i will forever be grateful. Xxx

Used Hadfields back in November for my grans funeral, I organised flowers via a florist in Lundwood who agreed to deliver them to the funeral home they were dropped off no problem the day of the funeral, but Hadfields misplaced them, they were eventually found and turned up at the crematorium just before the service. How can you mis place 3ft wide flowers ? Would not use again

My wifes Dad passed away recently and Hadfields looked after everything, they were so kind caring and understanding, no matter how many times we rung to change details there was never a problem, a special mention to Julie who looked after Mum
