Local Funeral Directors Leeds
I trusted in the process and was able to put my attention to eulogy content and choosing photos knowing the rest would be organised beautifully by Ruth. Ruth listened well at the beginning, getting a sense of what was important and then giving space and time for decisions and being patient and open to change.

All supported wonderfully. From first telephone contact to collection of mum from the care home and then the arrangements for the funeral. Everyone always had time to speak and be helpful and friendly.

We truly send our thanks and recommend your services without hesitation. Wonderful people.
We found The Globe to be a pleasant, tranquil space to meet with Jodie to discuss plans and felt happy with our mother being looked after there until her funeral. We know that she was treated with care and respect.
At the funeral Jodie and her team were supremely professional, discreet and keen to ensure that everything was as we wished.
I would not hesitate to use this service again.
Full Circle Funerals provided outstanding care and support during a deeply difficult time. The sudden and tragic nature of the loss, combined with complex family dynamics, made the situation especially challenging. Despite this, the team handled everything with compassion, professionalism, and sensitivity.
The chapel of rest is a beautiful and serene space — peaceful, comforting, and thoughtfully maintained. It offered a quiet place for reflection and farewell, which meant a great deal to the family.
David and all the staff were exceptional: kind, respectful, and always willing to listen. Their communication was clear and empathetic, and their presence was both reassuring and supportive throughout the entire process.
Full Circle Funerals made a profound difference during a time of grief, and their care will always be remembered with gratitude.
Thank you kindly from Mr and Mrs Birdi’s family. xxx

Thank you so much Jodie and Full Circle team for your dedication to what you do.

She guided us every step of the way and the suggestions she gave us made the decisions easier. Also, Jodie’s wonderful sense of humour was like a fresh breeze on a hot day.

The support and compassion was excellent. Thankfully you don’t have to organise these things that often, so don’t really know how to approach things. Anne was amazing in explaining, guiding and ensuring we were organising the funeral we really wanted. Nothing was too much trouble.
Lisa
There is much I could write here. From start to finish everything was extremely well explained, feedback and guidance provided, no question I asked was ever made to feel silly, and ruth thought of things I wouldn’t have. Ruth’s empathy, patience and understanding at such an emotional time was extremely valuable. This was also commented on by those who came to Full Circle on the day of my friend’s funeral.
