What families say
Steve Payne
Mar 2026Hetherington Funerals showed genuine care and compassion during an incredibly difficult time for our family. Every interaction felt respectful and thoughtful, and they guided us through each step with patience and clarity. Their professionalism made the process easier to manage, and we’re deeply grateful for the support they provided. We couldn't have asked for a better funeral service. Highly recommend.

Jan 2026Hetherington Funerals recently organised and conducted the funeral for my late husband. Eric and his team were fantastic. They were very professional and helpful and made the whole process so much easier. Thank you! I would also like to add that Jessons Flowers in Canningvale did a beautiful job of the flowers and delivered the flowers directly to the funeral home, which was so helpful.

Feb 2026We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Hetherington Funerals for the exceptional care and compassion shown to our family during the arrangements for our father’s funeral on 20th February 2026. From our very first meeting, we felt genuinely supported and gently guided through what was an incredibly difficult time. Everything was handled with professionalism, dignity, and kindness, and the service itself was truly beautiful. It brought us great comfort to see our father honoured in such a thoughtful and respectful way. A very special thank you to Poppy for her warmth, patience, and understanding throughout the entire process. Her kindness meant more to us than we can properly express and helped ease the burden during those overwhelming days. We are also deeply grateful to Vaneesha, who was so kind and helpful on the day of the service. Her calm presence ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing our family to focus on remembering and honouring Dad. Please also pass on our sincere thanks to the rest of the team who assisted on the day, their professionalism and compassion did not go unnoticed. We will always appreciate the care and respect shown to our family while helping us say goodbye. Thank you again for everything.

Nov 2025We were overwhelmed with who to chose when I lost my father unexpectedly but were recommended to reach out to Eric via a friend. He was very responsive and answered all the questions we had before we even had to ask. He then put us in touch with Carol who has been wonderful and empathic throughout the whole process. I am so happy I chose Hetherington as they made a very difficult time much less stressful with their care and support.

Oct 2025Dear Poppy, We want to extend our sincerest thanks to you for all your hard work, dedication, and professionalism. After visiting another funeral home that didn’t feel quite right, we contacted Hetherington, and you answered the phone. From that first conversation, your calm and compassionate approach gave us a sense of reassurance we desperately needed. You kindly made time to meet with us that very same day, and after speaking with you in person, we immediately felt confident we were in the right hands. Despite the challenges and disagreements within our family during this emotional time, you remained calm, patient, and understanding throughout. Your support made a huge difference to us, and we are so grateful for the way you handled everything with grace and empathy. The funeral itself was absolutely seamless. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, and everything went beautifully—thanks to your attention to detail and the care you put into your work. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Poppy. We truly appreciate everything you did for our family and our beloved mother-in-law. Warm regards, The Burnet Family / Schout Family
