I would highly recommend Terry Longley & Son, the service provided was professional yet caring, guiding us through this difficult time. All the staff were amazing, Terry was especially helpful, always available and accommodating to our needs. Anne was supportive and compassionate, performing brilliantly as Celebrant. Thank you all for making this daunting process more bearable.

When my father passed away Terry Longley & son were really helpful. They did everything to help us in a time of need that is not really easy when you lose a loved one. Appreciate all that the firm did at the time of our Dad’s passing - Mike and Warren are a credit to your firm along with Anne who was of great support to our Mum.

I do not need to imagine how traumatizing loss is. Terry, thank you so much, you represented our Son with grace, swagger, style, and with so much awhi.... you are like a waka in a river, gently flowing downstream with our loved ones on their final journey. The touches, the celebrants, the communication, the.inside.knowledge that comes with you, helped us during those first days, knowing Ray.was in great hands. I cannot stress enough how much an understanding, awhi filled service like this helps fill that void, and fills it with love and a celebrative experience. Thank you

Over the last couple of years our family have lost a number of loved ones and every single time we have chosen to use Terry Longley and Son Funeral directors. The level of service has been outstanding and the compassion and empathy shown at a very difficult time has been second to none. From the minute the process started right down to the follow up calls weeks later, they let you know they genuinely care and you know are in good hands. We felt Michael Bates was exceptional to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and he even offered us a key to the viewing room so we could go in at any time of the day or night to say our goodbyes. Anne Fortune also spent a great deal of time with us ensuring nothing was missed out of the service and showed such devotion not just to her role but to our family. Thank you so very much Terry Longley and Son team, you are absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend you!
