A few words from some of the families we have looked after over the years.

Derek , Linda and Maxine are an amazing team , that supported us when Dad had passed with integrity , empathy and professionalism. The service we received from initial contact was much appreciated and Dad received the most respectful and personal service he deserved . Thank you all from all the family.

I can not recommend Derek, Maxine, Linda and the team enough. During the most difficult time which I have had to go through in my life the care and compassion they have shown to my family whilst looking after my Dad can not be described. They have been respectful, caring and reassuring throughout this difficult process and no question or need has been too much for them. I could not have asked for anything more for my Dad and know he would have been extremely happy with everything during this time. If you need to unfortunately use this service I would advise anyone to use George Lightfoot Funeral Services Ltd, you can not ask for more for your loved ones.

During the saddest time of my life, my husband and soulmate Ian gained his angel wings; it was at this traumatic that I used George Lightfoot Funeral Services and met three kind, caring, compassionate and extremely professional people, namely Derek Herald, Maxine and Linda; these people and the rest of Dereks team took the utmost care not only with Ian but they supported his family with integrity and compassion, explaining in simple language what needs to be done and when, organising everything required perfectly. My grateful thanks to Derek and his team

Derek & the team at Lightfoots were simply amazing in helping us prepare for dad's funeral; kind, compassionate & caring From the moment we met Derek right through to the actual day, (and beyond in fact), he has been there for us as a family & there is no doubt that we were able to give our dad the beautiful send off he deserved because Lightfoots guided the way. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you x

I would just like to say a massive thank you for providing my wife, Carolyn, with such a beautiful send off. From the very first phone call and meeting with Derek, Maxine and Linda to the beautiful ceremony on 29th December. George Lightfoot provided us all with so much comfort. From the big decisions to the finer details, you went above and beyond I will forever be grateful for your help and guidance during such a difficult time for all of us. Even when our visual tribute link expired you went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect for the service. Please pass on my thanks and best wishes to everyone involved looking after Carolyn. We couldn’t have asked for her to have been placed in a safer pair of hands than yourselves. I just wanted to personally thank you for such an amazing job and a perfect service led by Caroline Woodruff.

I would highly recommend George Lightfoot Funeral Services. Derek Herald the funeral director and his team organised my cousins funeral four years ago and I went to them to arrange my Uncle’s funeral that was held today.
They were truly professional, courteous, helpful and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you so much.

Derek and the team at Lightfoots were very caring and compassionate nothing was to much trouble. With me living away i had to email a lot. And always had a quick response from Derek. Its a beautiful funeral home. The chapel is beautiful when I went to see my dad it was all perfect. My dad looked beautiful. Very professional service and care towards us as a family. And with the covid 19 outbreak. Still everything went as well as it could. Highly recommend lightfoots. Derek Herald and team.

Sadly we lost our Dad just before Christmas and chose Lightfoots to arrange the funeral. Cannot express what a wonderful service they provided. Totally respectful and more than anything, warm and friendly. Myself and all our family are so grateful that our grief was made so much easier knowing everything was taken care of. Extremely professional and would highly recommend. Special thanks to Derek, whose easy, kind and generous manner was a tonic at this sad time. Thank you all so much.
