I can’t recommend E Turnbulls enough, especially Sharon. Sharon came to my house & discussed everything I needed to do & gave me options & advice to things I did and didn’t want, I explained I didn’t want the curtains to close around the coffin and various other things & Sharon sorted them for me. On the day of the funeral Sharon walked in front of the hearse on top hat & tails, a really lovely touch. The day went perfectly, thank you

We have used Sharon and the team twice in 18 months now and cannot recommend them enough. The first time they collected my aunt from Surrey and brought her to the north east for the funeral with all her family and they cared for her like she was a member of their family. Then today again she put my step dad to rest. The lads all assisted as my nephews and son in law carried the coffin. Sharon kept in touch with me every step of the way and the organisation was second to none. Very professional at all levels and personal views all taken into consideration and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you once again for everything you have done xx

Sharon and the team could not have been more helpful and accommodating, and made a really difficult time as stress free as they could. All the team were very pleasant and respectful, and offered help to the family after the funeral too. Thank you to you all, and hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year.

Choosing a funeral company at a very difficult time is daunting. But the care, compassion and thoughtfulness of Sharon and her team at Turnbull’s was 1st class. Our family took great comfort that our loved one was taken such good care of in their beautiful chapel and on his final journey he was treat with dignity and respect. Such professionalism is hard to find.

Our family in North Shields have used Turnbull for many years.
Martyn took great care of us when our Aunt passed away recently. All emails and messages were responded to quickly despite what must be an exceptionally busy time for undertakers. This was very reassuring for us as we live 150 miles away from Shields.
The funeral was professional, calm and our Aunt would have been very pleased with how things were handled. Thank you Martyn and your team.

I would highly recommend Sharon and her team. Very professional, friendly and approachable. They looked after us from start to finish when my Dad passed away, and explained everything clearly regarding covid restrictions and rules. Hopefully it will be a long time before I need their services again, but I would not go anywhere else.

Sharon and her team were second to none. We had attended a family funeral 12 months earlier and were really impressed by the professionalism of the female funeral director (Sharon) on the day. We were also aware of the personal touch she had provided the family along with some good advice whilst discussing options. Therefore we didn’t hesitate to contact E Turnbull & Son Ltd and were not disappointed by the quality of the service and commitment to providing my mam with the best possible send off. We would highly recommend this family run firm, who are experts in their field.
