Porteous Family Funeral Directors

★★★★★

“This may well be the most important review I'll ever write. Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things any of us will face, so knowing you’re placing the funeral arrangements in the hands of people who treat it with real dignity, respect and patience is absolutely crucial. From the very first phone call, Porteous lived up to everything you would hope for at a time like this. Liz, who took my initial call, was incredibly kind. Her calm, reassuring and understanding manner carried me through that first day. Within hours, Philip and the team were at our family home, preparing my dad for transport with the utmost respect. In that moment, I knew without a doubt we had made the right decision. Without going into too much personal detail, every single person at Porteous was exceptional. Their kindness and professionalism went far beyond what I could have ever expected. Philip, in particular, guided us through every step with patience, care and understanding. The entire process reminded me that there are wonderful people out there who quietly dedicate themselves to supporting families at their most vulnerable. That meant more to us than I can properly express. I will be forever grateful for the care, compassion and professionalism that Porteous showed our family.”

“I have used Porteous Funeral director on 3 occasions now and every time they have provided an excellent service. At the latest Funeral they really went above and beyond and provided us with the most wonderful send off for my cousin. Everyone at the service remarked that it was the best Funeral Service they had ever attended. I cannot thank them enough as their attention to detail which was amazing and nothing was too much for them to look into. I would highly recommend them to everyone.”

“My wife's Aunt Priscilla sadly passed away several months ago, and the service provided by Porteous Family Funeral Directors was excellent and very professional. They were understanding and compassionate and the services provided by Philip Bryan were kind and considerate to the family and he dealt with all our wishes to the letter. We would have no problem in saying anyone who has the sad occasion to seek the services of a funeral director would well served to use Porteous Family Funeral Directors.”
