The service we received was excellent and very professional.
Everything was explained to us in a friendly, easy to understand way. Staff who attended a home visit were very sympathetic and understanding and they also listened intently to any of our questions and concerns.
The whole experience from beginning to the day of the funeral went without any problems.
I and my family would highly recommend this company to everyone. Thank you to all concerned.

This was the first time we had to arrange a funeral after our mother passed away in January. We have to say that the service we got was second to none. When arranging the funeral Julie and Amanda were sensitive, caring and guided us in our planning. We could not have asked for anything more. On the day of the funeral Martin and his stafe were professional, caring and attentive. The day went so smoothly and was just what we wanted. We will have no hesitation in recommending A J Smiths to family and friends. Thanks again Julie, Amanda, Martin and all the associated staff.

everything was dealt with efficiently and professionally, but with great sensitivity. Julie was brilliant , keeping us up to date with everything and always willing to listen. The funeral was arranged just as we wanted it and Martin was brilliant at carrying out his role both at the office and at the crem. This is the 5th time we have used A.J. Smith, and the care has always been of the same superb standard

From my first contact with AJ Smith, I found their staff to be sympathetic and respectful at all times. They were helpful and answered all my questions when I was choosing from several options, and I was made to feel that whatever choices I made were the right choices as long as I was happy with them. All my wishes regarding the funeral were carried out with the utmost respect. On the day of the funeral we were all guided with sympathy, dignity and respect, and did not at any time feel rushed. I chose a Humanist funeral and the Celebrant visited my home and encouraged me to give as many or as few details as I wished, with the end result being a beautifully conducted service that everyone who attended commented favourably on. All in all, the funeral was conducted just as I wished. In the days that followed the funeral, I was still in touch with them regarding ashes, and again, they were most sympathetic and understanding at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending AJ Smith as a caring, sympathetic service at a time when one needs true efficiency tempered with true understanding for one’s feelings.

Took great care and respect of our son, nothing was too much trouble, from designing his bespoke coffin to the order of service and arranging the celebrant for the service, we felt that they had really understood what our requirements were and made sure these were met. The funeral day was perfect and everything went as well as these things can. Big thanks to Lynne and all the team at A J Smiths Greasbrough.

The service provided by staff at our local A J SMITH office was very professional but was at the same time very friendly, without overdoing it. She had many years of experience in her duties so was able to provide answers and solutions for us quickly. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She enjoys her job and I consider her to be of great value to A J SMITH and their future customers! Services provided by non-office staff were also delivered with respectful care and sympathy.
