  At what was a very sensitive time for us as a family words cannot do justice to the sheer professionalism and compassion that Erich and the team at Falconers displayed. Thank you on behalf of our family and all Mum’s friends.

  Compassionate and professional company, handled everything quietly in the background, took a lot of the stress away from a difficult few days. Erich and his staff are to be commended.

  My dad died recently and I couldn't imagine anyone better than Erich and his team to reach out to. They immediately took everything in hand, with such kindness and decency. When I spoke to Erich on the phone and said I don't know what to do next, and he calmly replied "you just follow my lead", and that's all we had to do. The sincerity they had throughout the process was very touching, and made a terrible few days go as well as they could. Thank you.

  I never knew exactly what undertakers did until my dad died recently and I met Erich and his team. Erich was calm, compassionate and so helpful. He was amazing. The whole experience was seamless and we didn't have to worry about anything. Falconers treated my dad with such dignity and respect and we appreciated their kindness and professionalism. We are so grateful people like this exist in a stressful and difficult time.

  We used falconer undertaker for the funeral of our Mother. Eric and his team were supportive, professional and empathetic at all times.  No request was any trouble. Eric was at the end of the phone anytime we needed him. Eric supported our family the whole way through the funeral process. We appreciate Eric and the team for making such a stressful time that little bit easier. I would highly recommend Eric and his team. Thanks again for your compassion and support during our difficult time.

  I cannot recommend Erich and the team at Falconers highly enough. We lost my dad recently, very suddenly. What was a very stressful time was made that bit easier by dealing with such  professional and kind people. We were always treated with dignity and respect and  Erich and the team went above and beyond for us. I cannot thank them enough for ensuring that my dad got the send off he deserved.

  Dealing with Eric from falconers undertakers after the passing of my father was incredibly reassuring.
Eric was above and beyond professional, compassionate and understanding. He could not have been more helpful and accommodating throughout the process.

  We used James Falconer Undertaker for the funeral of our beloved husband,father,grandfather John McNeil. Eric and Michelle where so professional from the day they came to the house until the burial. They went above and beyond to help us in anyway they could and they showed great respect and understanding. We thank them as a family for that. Regards McNeil Family.
