Andrew,
On behalf of my family I wanted to thank you for all your help and support in arranging my Father’s funeral.
Every step of the way was deal with in a kind, empathetic and professional manner and nothing was too much trouble.
We were calmly guided through the planning and regular contact was made.
The service in the chapel was lovely and led by Andrew and a wonderful celebrant who Andrew had recommended.
I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough.
Thank you so very much. H.

Wow, what can I say! Right from the minute I spoke with Andrew I knew we would be in safe hands. His kindness and support was evident immediately. He dealt with the smooth transport of my brother to his lovely premises. When he visited to explain the process he was gentle, respectful and explained every step. The reassurance he showed was excellent. On the day of the funeral he explained everything and reassured me. I would highly recommend Andrew and his wonderful team. Right from the beginning to the end he showed great respect and gave my brother dignity and kindness. Thank you so very much for making my brother’s passing and his subsequent funeral more bearable.

I couldn't recommend Andrew & his services enough! A highly professional, kind compassionate service, to suit your needs.

Everthing was as perfect as it could be for my Dad's funeral. Many thanks Andrew! JR

J & J would like to thank Andrew for his excellent , friendly, and thorough assistance during  a difficult time. We would not hesitate to recommend his professional and sympathetic approach to anyone,  and extend our sincere thanks for his services.

Andrew is a consummate professional of the highest order.


His kind, considered, empathetic nature made the whole process of dealing with the death of my Dad an easy process to navigate.

Considering this was during the early stages of the Covid pandemic and all the uncertainty that brought, it was reassuring to have Andrew guiding us.

15 months on and we have just held Dad's Service of Thanksgiving, again with Andrew's faultless professionalism at the helm. He continues to help us as we decide on a stone for the grave.


His gentleness and good humour make him very approachable and I would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Incidentally, it was through him conducting a funeral for a friend that I first knew of Andrew and I made a mental note that when I needed a funeral director, I knew who I would call!  - JD

Andrew and his team have literally been a Godsend. Right from the moment we met on the night my husband died through to today when he returned his ashes home, I have been overwhelmed by the professionalism, dignity and tenderness shown to us all at this extremely difficult time in our lives. Nothing has been too much trouble, and whilst these situations are never easy to experience, Andrew has made the process as comfortable as it is possible to do so. The Chapel of Rest is a lovely setting for a funeral service and enabled us to spend time remembering my husband in an appropriate way, rather than being time limited due to the current restrictions. We knew we were in good hands, my husband and all his family, throughout this whole journey. Thank you so much Andrew from us all.  - DJ

Andrew supported myself and my children to bury my husband, their dad. This was the first funeral I have arranged. From our first contact with him we felt reassured and he guided us through the process in a skilled and professional way that was run through with genuine compassion and care. He listened carefully to what we wanted and ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish and delivered a very dignified and first class service throughout. I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough. - KC

Dear Andrew
Our whole family would like to express our gratitude to you and your staff for your kindness and professionalism in dealing with my father’s funeral. The entire process was handled sensitively and with dignity. We were very grateful for you handling all the necessary preparations, keeping us informed throughout and for taking the time to telephone my mother frequently to enquire how she was coping and keeping her up to date with the details. The funeral itself was exactly as my father would have wanted it. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others at their time of loss. Our warmest thanks once again.

Dear Andrew

I am writing to say thank you so much for the brilliant service you provided for Charles’ 

funeral. Your sympathetic approach and attention to detail was superb. Everything was 

arranged beautifully, the day was very special and dignified and fulfilled Charles’ last wishes 

in every respect. As a family we were all impressed with the efficiency and kindness of the 

service you provided.  Your help with dealing with all aspects of the funeral, including liaising

with the Coroner’s office, made the whole experience less stressful for us at a very difficult 

time. Your thoughtfulness and compassion will always be remembered. 

Thank you so very much

Andrew has in no uncertain terms made the funeral arrangements for my late father in the most professional and sensitive way possible.  Due to the nature of my fathers death, and the needs for a coroners investigation, Andrew has taken responsibility for all liaison and communication with the coroner's office and helped so much at a hugely distressing a tragic time.

He has a calm professional manner and was available to meet the needs of myself, family and friends. For example answering telephone calls and arranging viewings at his Chapel of rest in Bingley in evenings and weekends to suit the needs of my family and relatives.

Andrew was able to provide advice and experience on the legalities and options available to meet my father's wishes and met our individual budget.

He is most definitely a man of great integrity and kindness at a time when a family of those departed need support.  

My family and I wish to publicly express our gratitude to Andrew Ellershaw for all of his support and his services arranging the cremation of M.H, we cannot recommend him highly enough.

I found Andrew to be the utmost professional when dealing with him recently. It's clear he's very capable and knowledgeable within his field.........JH
Wonderful person I would just like to say that Andrew was the funeral director I used for both of my parents, my mum in 1997 and dad 2014 so the time between them both shows how highly I regarded him. I can honestly say he was the most professional caring person I have ever met and I would like to wish him all the best....... AW
Thank you Andrew.
The kindness and professionalism of you and your team has been exceptional and very much appreciated.  You personally have guided us  through one of the most difficult times in our life in a straight forward and compassionate way.  you enabled us to celebrate our Mum's life as we and she wanted and we all did her proud. We look forward to reuniting Mum & Dad in Bingley and are thankful for your help in facilitating this. With heartfelt thanks.........T C G. 
Both my self and my brother, would like to express our sincere thanks for the very professional and sympathetic way you conducted the funeral arrangements. We had and continue to have many hurdles to overcome, but at least we could be comforted by knowing our father's last journey was in your hands. Once again thank you from all of the family …..
