Testimonials
From the moment we stepped into the building and met James it was obvious what a lovely person he was and how much he cares.
James made an awful time so much easier to bear, his down to earth nature and obvious care for others shone through and nothing was too much trouble.
Everything was easy to arrange from the funeral package, to flowers to our lovely celebrant John.
I would highly reccommend James and the Borrowash & District Funeral Service to anyone, the care we received as a whole family as so personal and James and the staff were dedicated to honouring our Mum while she was in their care, making sure we were all ok and knew what was happening every step of the way.
Thank you so much for treating my Mum with such care and dignity, you are amazing at what you do.

I would like to thank James Highton and his colleagues at Borrowash & District Funeral Service for their care of Mum, and the help and support we received throughout the whole process.
James made us feel like Mum was the only person he was looking after, and that she was his family too. I can't thank him enough for everything that he has done, and is still doing for us now, the he has provided has been above and beyond. It is very much appreciated and it has made a terribly sad and emotional time easier to deal with. You're a legend James and I can't recommend you enough.
The flowers from the in house florist were absolutely gorgeous too and massive thanks to our celebrant, John Highton for an amazing service and celebration if life, you really did her proud.
