James Hamilton Independent Family Funeral Directors

When my wife passed away I contacted Jim and left the arrangements up to him and I'm so pleased I did so. Jim is a consummate professional with years of experience. Everything was handled impeccably, a faultless service with compassion and dignity. I hold Jim in the highest regard.

We chose James Hamilton Funeral Service for my Uncles funeral and it only felt right to leave a heartfelt thank you for such an exceptional service. Jim had everything in hand from the meetings before the service and delivered exactly what we asked for on the day to the finest of detail. The dedication of Jim and the whole team ensured that everyone was at ease throughout such an awful time, from the first point of contact with them. On the day itself, Jim cared for us and took the time to ensure all of our family were comfortable through each and every step. Jim is such a caring, compassionate and respectful gentleman whose dedication to ensure we were in trustworthy hands shone through tenfold. Exceptional service throughout a difficult time and we would highly recommend them. Thank you to Jim and all of the team.

(Review in February 2022) When my mother-in-law died in November 2020, other family members made all the funeral arrangements. As executors, we visited the funeral director on a couple of occasions to see to the financial side of things. Everything was fine and we didn't give the matter a second thought. When my wife's step-father died in February, responsibility for arranging his funeral fell to us. We chose James Hamilton because he is local and has excellent reviews. He proved to be a perfect choice. We discussed the funeral arrangements in total privacy, something which we then realised didn't always happen with the larger companies, and he recommended the most suitable service to cater for our individual circumstances. He took care of everything and kept us regularly informed throughout. He made sure that everything went extremely smoothly, for which we were very grateful at such a difficult time. (Added May 2022) Our late relatives had previously expressed the wish to have their ashes scattered together at the crematorium's Garden of Remembrance. This could not be done immediately, so Jim was more than happy to hold ashes for us until both spouses could be reunited one last time. Nothing was a bother to him. He made all the necessary arrangements on our behalf and the small ceremony went perfectly. Once again, many thanks for your help and excellent, friendly service.

When my dear Mam died I had no idea what to do. I'm so thankful I called Jim as he kindly and compassionately took me through the entire process. He helped me with the paperwork, telephone numbers, people I needed to contact for certificates etc. Everything. It was like having my own personal Funeral Director. He made everything special and respectful and easy. I had the exact funeral my Mam and family wanted. He was amazing. On the day of the funeral Jim and his team did an excellent job. It all was perfect. He did my Mam proud and I'm eternally grateful for his help and support. Thanks SO much Jim and team. Excellent work and service.

We chose James Hamilton for my fathers funeral on the 31st of January 2022, after being very pleased with his excellent service for my father-in-laws arrangements two years prior. From beginning to end Jim provided a perfect service, and every detail was taken care of, including flowers and music for the service. When you are suffering your loss you really need to be able to put the necessary arrangements into the hands of someone you feel you can trust, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company in this regard. On the day itself Jim guided us through the service and burial (in our case) with compassion and respect, without being intrusive, but you had the comfort in knowing he was there when needed. The whole service was excellent, particularly the flowers which Jim helped us choose and the cars that were provided. All excellent, Highly recommended.
