We’ve been providing funeral services for families in the Congleton, Crewe, Sandbach and Alsager areas for many years and are proud of how many families have returned to us, or recommended us to families in need of our services.

Here you can read what our customers have said about their experiences with Larvin & Clegg. These are genuine testimonials that have been left for us either on Google Reviews or Facebook.  If you want to see our most recent reviews and feedback, simply Google our name.

This is the second funeral Larvin and Clegg have organised for us in 14 months. In which is a traumatic time Abi and Jason are fantastic and so caring about everything and the attention to detail is unbelievable. And with their guidance and experience what is a truly awful day goes like clockwork, the whole day was seamless.
Obviously we will use them again ,but I’m hoping not to see them for a while …nothing personal.
Seriously, I can’t thank them enough .

Steve Tatton

Following the passing of my brother Christopher, then my second brother John within only two weeks of each other; my mother, family and I were desperate for the support of a caring and compassionate Funeral Directors.
Jason and Abi were Funeral Directors to my father-in-law and knew we were going to be in safe hands.
Whilst caring for Christopher, we advised Jason and Abi of the passing of John and requested again for their help, support and guidance. Their genuine shock and disbelief at this unique situation were followed by the most professional considerate and caring process with a most genuine human touch.
Jason, Abi and their team were amazing. The recommended support offered by the Celebrant Jill Young was equally amazing.
Their professional but human approach with all our family at this most difficult time is something we could not have done without.
Many thanks Jason and Abi, you were fantastic, myself and family very highly recommend you and your team.

Philip Heath & Family

Both Abi and Jason are incredible. I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for my family. You’ve been utterly faultless from start to finish, and have made this horrendous time that little bit easier. Thank you so so much for everything you’ve done for us. We’ll never forget what you’ve done.

Charlotte Hockenhull

Abi and Jason supported me and my family through the most traumatic experience of our lives from the first time I spoke to Jason which was at 11.30pm one evening in September this year his reassurance and kind words told me that they were the people we would entrust with the care of mum and our family. From beginning to end they supported us and with their help made mum’s cremation a day to celebrate and cherish, as a family we now consider them to be apart of our family.

Tracy Jones

Jason and Abi were nothing but respectful, kind and thoughtful in their services. They were so compassionate, and genuinely seem to deeply care about their work. Jason in particular got to know my mum very well before her passing, they had a good laugh together, my mum trusted herself to their service and I’m glad she did, they’re very good people. I will always appreciate the effort and kindness shown to me, and how well they handled us as a family which I know wasn’t always very easy, as we are plenty and some of us are more difficult than others, but they did it all with a smile. As well as the opportunity to personally come and tend to my mum in the funeral home after she had passed and make her look more like mum again, I will never forget that.

I recommend them highly. They will make sure you, and your loved ones are taken care of with respect and kindness.

Thank you Jason and Abi.

Jade Hawkins

There are not enough words to convey my heartfelt thanks to Jason,Abi and the Team at Larvin and Clegg for taking such great care of my husband who just recently and so very sadly passed away after a very long illness. I was left with the task of appointing a funeral director and couldn’t have chosen better than Jason and Abi. They made me feel like I was part of their family with their lovely, kind, caring and compassionate nature at a time when I was at my lowest. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
My husband was treated with the utmost care whilst he was with them and was provided with a very professional service on the day of his funeral with Jason walking in front of the funeral hearse, which my family and I found to be very respectful and deeply moving.
Should you find one day that you need the services of a funeral director to take care of a loved one then my recommendation is to give Jason and Abi a call. You couldn’t ask for a better professional family firm to look after them.

Susan Platt

Could not praise Jason and Abi enough for the professional care and attention they gave to my husband Alan. Also making sure that i was ok. This couple are amazing. Thank you so much.

Ann Bostock

Abi & Jason are wonderful. From the first moment I walked into their office I felt at ease. Nothing is too much trouble and the care they take is second to none. Would thoroughly recommend this amazing couple.

Carol Burdell

There is a reason why the company is named “Larvin & Clegg Funeral Care” because they really do care, it’s not just a service that they provide. From the moment we made contact with Jason and Abi, they made us feel at ease and cared for at what was a very difficult, and emotional, time for us.

Jason went out to see my mum at her home, at her request, a few months before she passed to discuss her funeral wishes with her. My mum was very impressed with him and felt he gave her all the answers and information she needed, to know she would be in good hands when the time came.

From their crematorium recommendation of The Birches to the flowers and post-celebration catering, their care, empathy and attention to every single detail was absolutely perfect. They also recommended the celebrant, Jill Young, who was wonderful. I would recommend Larvin & Clegg to everyone who sadly finds themselves needing their care. They really did help to give a beautiful send off for my dearly loved mum.

5* service – thank you Jason and Abi xx

Wendy Nelson

No words but amazing! Abi and Jason made everything so much easier and really cared. I felt at ease knowing my Gran was with them and they almost felt like part of the family! The little details just meant to world to us. We will definitely recommend them and will be using them from now on (hopefully not too soon!)

Aimee Ainsworth

Before our lovely Dad died recently, he had thoughtfully written his wishes for his own funeral arrangements and Larvin & Clegg was his preferred funeral director.
Dad had made his decision based on the great care provided by Jason and Abi when a family friend died last year, and he saw the wonderful support given to his widow and also the beautiful venue and surroundings of The Birches Crematorium.
Right from my initial call to Abi, we felt in safe hands – like most families, this was unfamiliar territory for us. However, from the moment Jason and Abi arrived to take Dad into their care, their approachable manner and gentle guidance provided us with reassurance and support throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble.
Jason checked on Mum’s well-being each time we spoke, and he patiently listened and suggested ways to make our ideas work well for Dad’s service. He also took time to edit (all!) our photos into a slide show and put them to music.
Of course, Larvin & Clegg took care of all the usual arrangements, such as dealing with all the charity donations, organising beautiful flowers, a limousine and also Jill, our wonderful celebrant. They were utterly professional throughout, but it was their personal touch that made all the difference.
Of course, we wish that Dad was still with us, but as always, he made a wise choice.
Thank you Abi & Jason, from all the family of Brian Burggy.

Ann Parker

Abi and Jason looked after us following my wife’s untimely passing in May 2023. We first met them both at an open day at Birches Crematorium when we knew my wife’s diagnosis was very sadly terminal and were immediately struck at how personable and friendly they were. When my wife died a few months later they took care of every detail and were fantastic – nothing was too much trouble. It was great weight off my mind. They made a very difficult time much easier to cope with.

Paul Tyler

Words can not describe the professionalism , empathy, communication, care to details and just overall care of the family and my late mother during a difficult time.

Jason and Abi wrapped their virtual arms around our family and took care of everything taking all worries away from the very first contact we had with them.

They bring a new and modern approach to the funeral industry far removed from the traditional victorian old fashioned funeral directors which is refreshing and certainly helps mentally and with the grieving process.

I highly highly recommend Larvin & Clegg to help and be there with you when the time comes.

Outstanding service, ultimate Professionals and a beautiful couple who are with you all the way.
Thankyou
Michael & Jacci Byrne

Michael & Jacci Byrne

Hazel Arnold- Jason and Abi were so respectful and so professional right from the very beginning, to create a wonderful service (as services go) that touched each and every one of us there because it was so personal not just to us as a family but to Hazel herself. From beginning to even now they always have time for each and every person and have the kettle on. Thank you so much Abi and Jason for everything and more! From Hazel Arnold’s family x

Hayley Jones

Baby Charlie – Thank you Abi & Jason and family for taking care of our baby boy Charlie’s funeral. We had Charlie’s twin brother in intensive care so we had lots on our plate with Oliver his brother and I couldn’t bare to think about funeral plans.
Abi no Jason took care of everything for us and planned a lovely little service.
We really struggled with Music for our little boy and Abi & Jason even helped us and recommended some beautiful lullaby’s for our boy.
Abi checked up on us throughout which I thought was lovely and made sure I asked everything I wanted to ask.
Jason took some beautiful footprints and handprints from our boy which we will treasure.
We also received a beautiful present afterwards from Abi &Jason a lovely bear with the option to put Charlie’s Ashes in – this was just a personal
touch that we really appreciated.
I hope no one has to go through what we went through, but sadly if you do and your looking for reviews to put your trust into someone – please know your loved ones will certainly be in good hands.

We would like to thank Larvin and Clegg Funeral Directors for being so professional and compassionate during a difficult time for our family. They showed nothing but kindness to all the family and dignity and respect throughout the process.
Jennifer Rahimi

A Wonderful Experience!
I cannot thank Jason and Abi enough for caring so fabulously for our Aunt. We started with a distressing experience with another local Funeral Director and felt we had to change. We approached Jason and he could not have cared more – quite the opposite to the previous. Both Jason and Abi gave me time to talk a little of my Aunt, who was an exceptional person. They took everything I said on board, giving me ideas of small tributes, which were so apt and thoughtful. Abi took on the printing of the Orders of Service and was not happy until everything was perfect. On the day, the pallbearers and Jason wore turquoise ties – my Aunt’s favourite colour – and were professional and kind at every point. It was such a relief that it all went so smoothly and could not have wished for more. However, Abi did have more to offer and, very kindly and respectfully, brought Aunt’s ashes to our door a few days later, to save us going into town!

I cannot recommend Larvin and Clegg highly enough and will use them again when the sad time comes for our remaining nonagenarians to leave us. I know that at the saddest times in our life, we have a fantastic local, family-run, business who care about what they do and the people they bring into their safe keeping.

Erica Stewart

Impeccable service with a personal touch; Jason and Abi are consummate professionals and all-round lovely people. They made a very difficult time in my life much easier and while they can’t take away the pain of losing my wife, the care and compassion they showed to me and my family was invaluable. Nothing was too much trouble, no question too silly, no request impossible. They handled everything from start to finish. We felt like we were in safe hands and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Allan Redfern

Its unusual to say a funeral was a wonderful experience, but the funeral of my lovely friend Peter Nelson was just that. Jason and Abby at Larvin and Clegg just took all the stress and worry away at every stage. The decisions were made easy for Jeannette, Pete’s wife. The florist came to us, the celebrant was organised and managed by them, the church and crematorium visits were managed by them, orders of service were designed and created by them, they helped with researching readings, poems, hymns etc. The amount of time and kindness they gave us was amazing. It was just like having family members guiding you through what could have been a very difficult situation. The preparation of Pete’s body for viewing in the chapel of rest was fantastic. I dont wish to exaggerate but it really was beautifully done. Pete looked wonderful. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this wonderful couple to anyone in need of funeral services. They wrapped their arms around us and let us grieve whilst they did their wonderful job. Thanks again Jason and Abby.

Margaret Liddell and Jeanette Nelson

I can highly recommend Larvin and Clegg. Abi and Jason are the best at their job, from the very first phone call you know you your family and the loved one you’ve sadly lost is in the best hands you could possibly wish for. There professionalism is outstanding and from the start they make you feel like a friend and not just a customer. There care and attention to detail is extremely special. They make one of the hardest times in your life just that little bit easier which I didn’t think was possible

Julie Turnock

We lost mum unexpectedly at Christmas, it was an emotionally tough time for the family. Abi and Jason were amazing and provided us with a compassionate and exceptional professional service, they went above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble, absolutely lovely genuine caring people. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Sarah Jones

Abi and Jason at larvin and clegg funeral home in congleton were absolutely fantastic when we recently lost both parents close together,nothing was to much trouble,they were so attentive,compassionate, kind understanding and I would recommend their services to absolutely anyone they never pushed anything and let you make all the decisions with a bit of guidance of course. Cant say enough good things about them both and the wonderful service they both provide I would like to say a personal big thankyou to them both. Xxx

Jayne Manley

I have arranged 4 funerals in 1 year for immediate family members. Jason and Abi were a massive strength and support in arranging 4 x bespoke services . They showed myself, family and friends compassion and respect and above all respect, dignity and care to all my family within their care. They supported, listened and guided me towards the best possible decisions during times when my heart and spirit were broken several times.

I wanted to remember and celebrate the life of my loved ones. The whole journey with Jason and Abi and their team cemented the knowledge and trust that everything we could of done as our last act of love were met. This gave us all tremendous comfort. You are very special people.

Angela Dilks

When my dad died, I contacted Larvin and Clegg based upon their excellent reviews. Jason was incredibly helpful and always on hand if we had any questions, or needed his help. Using a family run business like L&C made the process seem more personal and everything was tailored according to our requirements. The celebrant, Jill, was also excellent and delivered a wonderful service. I’d highly recommend Larvin and Clegg to anyone in need of a professional and sympathetic service for their loved ones.

Simon Naish

Today would have been my mums birthday, but sadly she passed away suddenly in August 2022. At that time we got in touch with Jason and from that very first call felt like mum would be taken care of and what was a sad time would be a celebration of her life.
The outstanding service of compassion, care and understanding was fantastic and put dad at ease in planning the order of service and offering advice when asked for.
The funeral day was just that, a celebration and Jason and his colleagues were brilliant and went above and beyond where they could.
Thank you from dad, Paul and myself

Sarah Asquith

I would recommend. Good, friendly local service. Made a sad day much easier and put us all at ease. Cared for our loved one as we would have done.

Emma McNiel

Larvin and Clegg came highly recommended to us and it’s not hard to see why Jason and his family have been amazing throughout to our entire family during our recent bereavement and have given my grandad a beautiful send off -we couldn’t of asked for better service during our difficult time
Thankyou Jason, Abi and team for everything you have done for our family and treating my grandad like one of your own ❤️

Ellie Clowes

Larvin & Clegg were recommended & we are so glad they were. Jason was friendly, extremely compassionate & made a very difficult time as easy as it can be. He took all the stress away from the decision making with lots of attention detail with regards to mums life, loves & dislikes. He wasn’t pushy trying to sell you extras, he answered any questions we had 24hrs a day. He treated mum & us with the greatest of respect which we are all extremely grateful for.
Thank you Jason for everything.

Helen Grice

Jason clegg whom assisted my mum with her late son’s remains to finally be put to rest is a truly remarkable gentleman he offered nothing but pure care and compassion very polite i would say his services are of a very high exceptional standard Thankyou so much
Mrs I petit-Brown

Tina Petit-Brown

Thanks for all your help Jason .
Great service and great people, we would always recommend you to everyone.
Many thanks, John and Barbara Vernon.

John Vernon

Larvin and Clegg were recommended to me by the District Nurse when my mother died. Jason Clegg took my call at 1am and offered to collect Mum at a time that suited us. He would have come straight away had we wanted, but we chose to wait until the morning. Right from day 1, he lead us through what we needed to do, and responded to any emails or calls promptly. He said he’d take care of Mum as if she was family and with the little touches on her preparation and the Order of Service, he really delivered. Jason made a horrid time bearable and we are truly grateful. Put your trust in this family run Funeral Directors and it’ll be a wise choice. Susi.

Suzi Jarvis

Jason and the team at Larvin and Clegg came to us as highly recommended and it’s easy to see why. They managed to be both utterly professional and friendly in our dealings with them. Jason presented the options for the funeral and we never felt pressurised or over sold at any point but, even though we chose a basic funeral, their service and attention to detail was excellent. Organising a funeral is not a pleasant activity, but Jason and the team made it as smooth and easy as possible.

John Ashworth

We’ve been blown away by the compassion and support from Jason during a very sad time.
We were fortunate enough to find Larvin and Clegg part way through a disastrous experience with Coop Funeralcare which we couldnt face continuing with due to poor service and zero compassion. The difference was unbelievable!
From the first phonecall to Jason I felt there was a real personal touch and the odd and insensitive information that Coop were asking me to complete was all taken care of by Jason with just a signature from us. We were kept informed through every step of the way and knew that any phonecalls would be answered immediately or not long after (complete opposite of Coop).
I would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in the sad but necessary market for a funeral director

Samantha Menzies

Thank you Jason and everyone involved in making our fathers funeral a very special memorable celebration of his wonderful long life. The service received was compassionate, caring and totally professional. The attention to detail was everything we wanted nothing was to much trouble and available 24/7.

Karon Jefferies

I cannot praise Jason at Larvin and Clegg enough, excellent, compassionate and caring , going that extra mile, to make sure everything is as requested, nothing was to much trouble and there 24 hours.
Would highly recommend, my late fathers funeral was exactly what he and us as a family wanted.
Thank you Larvin and Clegg.

George Fisher

Jason and staff were caring ,sympathetic and professional in all dealings helping through the darkest times
I would definitely recommend them.
Thank you

Diane Hughes

A huge thankyou for making my dads funeral a perfect finish to a wonderful life. Jason and his team were exceptional from start to finish and took full control where I couldn’t while still managing to achieve everything I needed to say goodbye properly. I cannot recommend Jason, his wife and celebrant Karen highly enough.

A fantastic service from genuine people with the perfect balance of personal and business to make the process as easy as possible. Thankyou

Kelly Hulme

Thank you so much Jason and your staff for making Mum’s final journey so absolutely perfect. With your professional service taking full control and allowing our family to come to terms with our grief was a pure unexpected gift. Tuesday eventually came and you made your journey carrying our precious Mum to the Birches that afternoon in brilliant sunshine and with Sarah’s beautiful creation ‘Field of Daffodils’ you carefully placed Mum on her pedestal in front of her family and friends who joined together to celebrate the life of one beautiful and much loved lady, our Mum. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Xxx

Helen Jones

A great service very professional from the first phone call. fantastic people,helped us to ensure our loved one had the best send off, a pleasure to know and nothing was too much trouble xxx

 

 

Tracy Pointon

We chose Larvin and Clegg due to them appearing as a family based and supportive company and we were overwhelmed by how true this was. From start to finish, Jason and his team went above and beyond to meet our needs and wants to make it the perfect funeral for our mother and support us through each stage. Jason was determined to get everything right and his dedication to his business and the families he works with is truly magical.

As a family we were provided with the very best, honest and caring service and this was truly reflected in the funeral.

Celine Keeling

We decided to use Larvin and Clegg after reading the words on their website. I really didn’t know what to expect but we received professionalism above and beyond. Kindness, patience, space, advice, diplomacy. Our mum passed away at 1030 at night and Jason was there for us. I struggled to let mum go, thinking it was dark outside and she would get cold! We could have kept mum until the morning but at 1am I rang Jason. They arrived and helped me thru the most difficult moments of my life, for that I cannot thank them enough. You deserve to be a huge success Jason for the journey you help people thru. Our family and I wish you all the best for the future.

Cathy Maitland

I fully recommend Larvin and Clegg Funeral Services. Great personal service. Everything just as I requested it. The venue was perfect and the extra little touches much appreciated. Price was affordable. Check out before going anywhere else. Margaret

Margaret Brown

We said goodbye to a dear friend myself and my Aunty who’s wheelchair bound visited the branch in Congleton was pleased to be able to access the building with ease as it is wheelchair friendly which a lot of places are not.

We were greeted by Jason who was professional yet at the same time we received a lovely welcoming and was treated with respect.
The set up was warm and inviting and we felt at ease.

We were not rushed seeing Tony for the last time.

The service was beautiful simple but with great meaning.

We could not fault the whole experience.

Thank you Jason for taking care of Tony he definitely would have approved of the whole experience from start to finish. Emma

Emma Burn

would just like to thank jason and his team for the amazing service he gave to me and my family when my mother died so much support and after care thankyou xx

Donna Nield

If you are reading this it’s likely that you’ve had or are expecting bad news. Rest assured that the service provided by Larvin and Clegg funeral care is exemplary. We lost our mother last month and were greatly impressed with the arrangements made by Jason and Abi. Jason has a very caring and compassionate approach and is very knowledgeable, and his attention to detail is second to none and he and Abi made my mother’s funeral ceremony the best it could have been in the current climate. Thanks again Jason and I wish you every success in your business.

Andrew Chaddock

From the bottom of our hearts we cannot thank Jason & Abi enough for their help, support, guidance and kindness when we recently lost both Mum & Dad in the short space of two weeks.

The love, care and attention you gave to our family was second to none and we can’t thank you enough for looking after both mum & dad so well whilst in your care.

Losing both parents together was an especially tough and difficult time but the advice & support you gave to us was not only very professional but had a very personal touch and helped us to get through it.
Organising a joint funeral especially in these strange & tough times we are currently in wasn’t easy but you exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Your team helped us to give both Mum & Dad the amazing send off they both deserved, and the day went without a hitch. Everyone that attended the service commented on how lovely the whole funeral service & cremation went. The little touches you suggested with the flowers and doves etc helped to make the day a special and memorable one that we will cherish for a long time.

So glad we chose you to look after Mum & Dad and as said we cannot thank you enough for your kindness, help and support in the sad situation we found ourselves in, and we wish you all the best for the future with your new business in Congleton.

We would not hesitate to recommend Larvin and Clegg to any person or family who is in the sad situation of losing a loved one.

Thanks ,
Steve, Carol & family.

Steve Carol & Family

We could never thank Jason & Abi enough for all their help, guidance & support through what was the most traumatic & devastating time in our lives with the tragic loss of our stunningly beautiful daughter.

From the moment we saw their photo on-line we immediately felt a connection & our instincts were absolutely right. They went above & beyond anything we could have ever imagined to make everything absolutely perfect in celebrating our daughters albeit short life. They treated our daughter with so much respect, love, care & attention that their passion & professionalism totally shone through. All our family & friends have spoke so highly of them & as a family we feel we have gained new friends.

We could not recommend them enough to any person/family who is in the devastating situation of losing a loved one.

Mandy Ogden

Thank you so much Jason and Abi for the kindness, consideration and professionalism you showed us during this very difficult time. The funeral was exactly as we would have wished, in fact it exceeded our expectations. Your team made a very sad day into a special and memorable one and we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

I would just like to point out that Abi is my niece. After my mum sadly passed away we made the decision to place her in the care of Jason and Abi in their new business in Congleton. I firmly believe that whether they are looking after a family member, or a friend, or a total stranger their dedication and attention to detail would be second to none and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Jane Larvin

I would highly recommend Larvin and Clegg funeral care to anyone who has lost a loved one. Jason has a very caring and compassionate approach and is very knowledgeable, he helped with lots for my Dads funeral and made the ceremony the best it could have been in the current climate. Thanks again Andrea.

Andrea Thompson

Truly an amazing company! Jason and Abigail have supported me and my family through such a difficult time… They are caring and dearly empathetic… The support they gave my mum through the death of her brother was above and beyond all means, especially with my parents being in isolation at the time… I know my uncle was in good, safe and caring hands and I want to say thank you for that Jason and Abigail… x

Wendy Hunter-Mahon
