Full Circle in Guiseley were very professional, compassionate and supportive. Ruth listened to what we wanted and provided guidance, advice and support throughout, ensuring that everything we wanted, happened. Ruth was really helpful, supportive and empathetic, from the first phone call we made, to the day of the funeral service, and beyond. We can’t thank you enough for your help and support during this most difficult of times.

I chose carefully as I wanted the best for my husbands final journey and I most definitely made the right choice choosing Full Circle to take care of my husband, they exceeded beyond my expectations.

From that first telephone call to our final goodbyes, Jodie and the team went above and beyond. Their care, empathy and support was outstanding.

As a family we felt our loved one was in safe and caring hands and would not hesitate to recommend Full Circle.
Thank you Full Circle Guiseley

Exceptional in every way, compassionate, sensitive and professional, Ruth and the team from first contact to post funeral went above and beyond to help us navigate the unfamiliar emotional and practical landscape we found ourselves in after the death of our beloved father. Everything was clearly explained and we were guided gently and at our own pace to create a send off that gave us a sense of peace and comfort that we had done our best. Nothing was too much trouble for Ruth, we felt supported as a family to involve ourselves in the practicalities as little or as much as we felt comfortable with. It was reassuring to know that our father was being cared for by Full Circle in its bright, lovely offices. I cannot recommend these special people highly enough

Outstanding service, compassion, sympathy, communication and, on the day of the funeral, calm dignified professionalism.
Everyone we met or spoke to at Full Circle were so helpful but I have to single out Ruth Owen who was quite superb. So good with my friend’s widow, great communicator and a big help to me. Thank you.

I was so lucky to have heard recommendations from friends who had used Full Circle. What was a very traumatic experience in Spain we were confident that Jodie would ensure my husband was repatriated and all relevant paperwork correct. Very kind, caring and efficient she was a great support to all the family.
I highly recommend Full Circle.

What will happen?

Our funeral directors will first listen to you, and then tailor our support to meet your needs.  We recognise that some people want to be given clear guidance and direction whereas others would prefer to be informed about their options, and then feel empowered to make the choices that are right for them.

We can help with funeral wishesfuneral plans and offer a monthly bereavement peer support group, accessible to anyone who would like to attend.

If you find yourself needing to make funeral arrangements and need immediate funeral assistance, then we can help you with where to find accessible information about your choices and the arrangement process. You might also find our  funeral arranging guide helpful.

We can support you to understand your funeral choices including traditional, modern, greeneralternative and Direct Cremation funeral options. There are so many possibilities and we will help you work out what is helpful and fitting for you.

Full Circle Funerals Guiseley are recommended in the Good Funeral Guide. This means you can be assured that we achieve high standards of care and are certified for the quality of the funeral services we offer.

Ruth, one of our Guiseley funeral directors says “If we’re all individuals why would everyone want the same thing when it comes to bereavement and funeral support?

The best funeral director to meet your needs will undoubtedly be the one that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable and takes the time to really listen to you. Our experience in health and social care makes a real difference here, whether you’re following very specific funeral instructions or need impartial guidance to give you confidence to make the right choices for you.

Working with local funeral directors means far better local knowledge, plus it reduces the administrative burden of funeral planning. You’ll also have more control and be able to customise funeral plans to meet your requirements. At Full Circle Funerals, we always begin by talking about the person who has died, to get a sense of their personality and the options that might be suitable. From there, we can explain our funeral services and how the process of arranging a funeral unfolds to make things easier for you.

We’re really proud of our reputation in Guiseley for the quality of the service we deliver, and our links to the local community we proudly serve. We facilitate a peer bereavement support group and are well versed at the support available in Yorkshire.  We will take things at your pace and nothing is too much trouble.”

The testimonials Full Circle Funerals has received from the people we have supported demonstrate our thoughtful approach and the high quality of our funeral services in Guiseley. Get in touch to learn more about what we can offer.

Ruth explained to us the procedure, options & costs of the funeral in a very easily understood, sympathetic manner. She ensured the funeral went ahead very smoothly, which allowed us to concentrate on all the other tasks that are required on the death of a loved one. Ruth kept us informed of what she required, etc. during the weeks leading up & after the funeral.

Richard

The personal approach we felt comfortable and at ease nothing was too much trouble. As my husband died suddenly our world has been turned upside down and we needed someone to take control and help. The chapel of rest been attached to the office and close by and a more modern approach and after first telephone call we felt comfortable and that we would be helped and looked after. I cant thank the staff enough-particularly Anne.

Angela

Thanks to the thoroughness of your team, we knew and had the input into what would happen. That preparation helped us to prepare mentally for what was to come and helped enormously. The choice of the coffin, handing out of roses at the end of the ceremony, the choice of music, all made it feel that we were making the ceremony very personal. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. Their approach, their empathy, their determination to help us find what was right for us, their attention and positive reactions to every detail was so supportive and so much appreciated. We were 100% happy with all the arrangements. All went like clockwork and we felt we had been so well supported at such a difficult and emotional time. From the initial contact through to the final receipt of the bill, we knew what was happening, felt cared for professionally and personally. We can not praise all involved highly enough. The offer of bereavement counselling and the inclusion of forget-me-not seeds shows the level of service and care this form provides. I will be forever grateful that chance led us to choose this company. No praise is sufficient. Thank-you so much.
