Well, what to say after Mum's funeral, how to adequately thank Dixons for such a wonderful service delivered with such sensitivity, care and compassion. Krista is absolutely brilliant, as are the rest of the team. She coordinated everything, from the first meeting about arrangements to ensuring smooth arrangements on the day itself. Her genuine warmth and smiling reassuring presence at the funeral meant everything. The flowers, orders of service, casket, funeral service organisation all delivered as promised, every wish or request patiently discussed and then delivered. It all made for the best a funeral can be. Some people in life are exactly in the profession they were meant to be as they are so good at what they do, and Krista is one of them. A huge thank you to the Dixons team from myself, my sister and our father. UPDATE In June 2026 we lost my father, 10 months after Mum died. Once again we turned to Dixon's who provided us with compassion, respect and the professionalism to see us through another funeral. They go above and beyond, there are not sufficient words to describe the excellence of the service they provide during one of life's most difficult moments. All the staff we encountered were brilliant at what they do but in particular I would wish to thank Krista from the bottom of my heart. She is amazing and special, thank you so much.
Dixons have handled both my mum and dads funerals both within the space of 10 months. Their care and compassion has been outstanding. We didnt have to worry about a thing, they took care of everything and kept us updated how things were progressing regularly. Krista and her team offered an outstanding service and we will forever be greatful they gave my parents the funeral they deserved. (Heather Taylor).
I can’t speak highly enough of the care and professionalism shown by Krista and the team whilst organising my uncle’s funeral. From the very first contact, they were compassionate, patient, and incredibly understanding during what was a very difficult time for our family. Every detail was handled with dignity and respect, and nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal. They took the time to listen to our wishes and ensured that everything was arranged exactly as we hoped, which gave us real comfort and peace of mind. On the day itself, everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. The staff were kind, discreet, and supportive, helping to create a calm and respectful atmosphere that truly honoured my uncle’s memory. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention they showed throughout the entire process, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in need of support during such a difficult time. Thank you for being so helpful with answering all our questions and helping to plan such a beautiful day for my uncle and our family. Claudia xx
I would recommend Dixons Funeral Service to absolutely anyone going through such a heartbreaking loss. Krista was amazing, she was always on hand to answer any questions and organised such a lovely, beautiful celebration of life for my Dad. It was an amazing service, better than any of us could have imagined. The whole process was made really easy by Krista and her colleagues and they all kept very good care of my Dad, we cannot thank them enough. We would also recommend Katie the celebrant who delivered a beautiful service & a lovely poem and also Emma for the beautiful flowers. The order of service was also beautifully personally created! Thank you so much again for everything!
Can’t thank Dixons enough for how they helped us with our mums sudden passing , we had no idea what to do and Krista helped us all the way through and made it as easy for us as possible. The day went lovely and the service they provided was excellent from start to finish .
In the UK, the funeral industry isn’t regulated, meaning anyone can call themselves a funeral director. At Dixons Funeral Services, we go above and beyond by voluntarily subscribing to the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD).
As NAFD members, we follow the Funeral Director Code, undergo regular inspections—including by Rochdale Health Inspectors—and are committed to the highest standards of care.
If a complaint arises, we follow the NAFD Resolve process, independently overseen by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).
