Thanks to Shayne and his staff for arranging a stress-free funeral for our father and for looking after him so exceptionally well. This is the third funeral you have arranged for our family with complete competence, dignity and compassion.
Ann Morgan
Thank you for making a difficult day a lot less stressful. The preparation from choice of celebrant, flowers and everything else was brilliant especially as we all live so far away.
You were recommended by my sister in law who has sadly had to use your services on many occasions. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any family or friends who live in the Herefordshire area.
Thank you once again and kind regards from us all.
Jim Kenyon
I can’t thank Shayne and his team enough. From the moment I found my friend had passed, I called him and his team came out straight away. He then liaised with the ambulance crew and latterly the coroner before preparing my friend for his journey going forward.
The funeral ran very smoothly with everything in place from the music to the smart turn out of his team.
Shayne was understanding and compassionate and I would highly recommend this independent funeral service provider.h,
Stephanie and Rod
From the moment we walked into Shayne’s business premises front door we received a first class service. Everyone who attended the funeral has mentioned what a wonderful service it was which was largely due to Shayne’s organisation and diligent planning.
Nothing was too much trouble and I know my mother Noreen was well taken care of. Thank you so much for making such a difficult day go so seamlessly.
Alan and Sue Whitlock

Paul Tarbath
Our family is very grateful for the kindness and professionalism that Shayne and his staff showed us after my mother Heather Tarbath recently passed away.

Ian and Paul, Herefordshire
We wanted to engage the services of an independent funeral director and Shayne Hogg Funeral Services were the obvious choice.
From the moment we contacted Shayne’s team we knew we had made the right choice. We were extremely impressed by their collective respectful care, high standards and attention to detail all of which were exemplary.
At all times Shayne and his staff displayed deep respect to our mum and to us, from the collection, throughout the organisation, to our specific requests, the execution of the funeral service and the follow-up calls thereafter.
We entrusted our mum to Shayne and his team and they repaid us with care, compassion, patience and professionalism. Thank you all.

Amber, Chloe and Maggie
Where can I start? During the hardest time of our lives, the team helped us through making sure our mother and daughter had the best send off as possible.

Thank you Shayne and the team for organising David’s funeral.

Roger and Carol Taylor
A brilliant and caring family-run business that takes a lot of the worry out of losing those close to you at the time when you need compassion.
From the first time we made contact with the team, who knew our daughter and us as a family, he showed great kindness and much understanding. He even phoned after the funeral to see if we were alright. On the day, Shayne looked after us with much kindness and understanding, arranged our grandsons and nephews as pall bearers for our daughter/mother to be carried into the crematorium.
Mark, the celebrant, did a lovely service as he has always done for us and previous family members. We have used Shayne Hogg funeral service for the last 11 years and would not use anyone else locally.
Joe Mahon
Losing my Brother was the hardest thing that’s ever happened to me, and while Shayne and the team couldn’t make it easier they certainly made it less difficult. I will forever be grateful to Shayne and his team for the dignity they showed my brother, and the support and compassion they showed to his entire family.
Richard Binnersley, Leominster
Thank you to Shayne and Allister for your professionalism and compassion in the services you have provided us with over the last couple of weeks.

Words cannot express how it felt to listen to a eulogy in which 25 years are skipped but your staff made us welcome and eased that pain We will always remember and be grateful for the gentleman that supported us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Anne Jones, Hampshire
“Never having organised a funeral before Shayne made it very easy with clear guidance and responded quickly when I asked questions, which took away a lot of the anxiety I was feeling. I know my mother would have been smiling at being driven through Hereford in such a grand style and the organisation at the crematorium from the bearers to the service and guidance for us as a family was first class. A heartfelt thank you from all the family but most of all from me.”
Bob Todd, Argel’s Gazost, France

Hull Family, Hereford
“Following dad’s untimely death, SHFS were recommended to us by carers who had been assisting our parents. All arrangements for dad were handled with such thoroughness and consideration by Shayne and the team. When mum passed away just 5 weeks later, the choice to return to SHFS was an obvious one.

“Shayne and the whole team looked after our family beautifully whilst organising the recent funeral/internment of our father. Shayne Hogg is a family-run business which means that you get a very personalised approach. They were kind and supportive whilst providing a smart, professional service.”
Judy Balderson, Hereford
“When I had to organise the funeral for my husband’s Mum, Shayne was recommended to us. From the moment we contacted them late on a Bank Holiday weekend Saturday, we knew we had made the right decision. From the two gentlemen who came to collect Mum who showed her such dignity and gentleness, to the internment of Mum’s ashes when Shayne took the trouble to carry the coffin top flowers to the graveside, nothing was too much trouble. We wanted several items put in the coffin with Mum and you could tell that thought had gone into their placement. For the funeral itself, everyone was impeccably turned out. I would recommend Shayne and his team to anyone, I lost count of how many times the phrase “not a problem” was used to anything we asked for. Thank you for giving Mum such an excellent send-off. “
W. Kent, Hereford
“I received three quotes for my wife’s funeral. Shayne’s was much lower than the others and I worried (needlessly) about the quality. In Shayne’s case, he combined quality and value for money. A call to this funeral service is a must should you be faced with the awful task of arranging a funeral for a loved one. Thank you. “
Susan Hursey, Spain
“My parent’s funeral couldn’t have been nicer. Shayne was kindness itself – friendly but dignified. Lovely staff and wonderful service. Many thanks.”
Tina Newman and Jean Brown, Hereford
“After losing my grandad/dad, we chose to go to Shayne Hogg to help us sort his funeral. As we have never had to organise one before, as soon as we walked through the door, they made us welcome and were very polite too. We didn’t have to do anything, they did it all. Thank you for all your support throughout the funeral means a lot to our family. Very much recommended.”
Bev Dickens, Bristol
“After losing my brother, Shayne was recommended as our funeral director. It was a fantastic recommendation. Never having to organise a funeral and all that goes with it before, from the very start, Shayne was ever the professional. He made me feel very much at ease. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He always had time to answer any questions, was there for guidance, which was always just right throughout. There if I needed to chat and he treated me normally. From start to finish, Shayne was amazing, professional, smart, sensitive, caring, friendly, kind, always checking that they had everything right, treating Shaun with such dignity, I was as relaxed as I could be and put at ease the whole time. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough for all that you have done. Truly amazing.”F,
Jason O’Brien
I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Shayne for his professional and compassionate service. We live in the United States, this was unique circumstances with my brother-in-Law passing away in Hereford, England. He made a difficult time easier for me and my sister’s family by taking care of every detail and ensuring that everything went smoothly. From the moment we contacted him, he was responsive, attentive, and respectful. He handled the paperwork, the transportation, the arrangements, and the coordination with the crematorium and the clergy. I am very grateful to him for his excellent service and care.
Shayne helped us honor the memory and legacy of my brother-in-law in a meaningful and personal way. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs funeral home services. Thanks so much.
Paulina and Family
My mum had the perfect send off thanks to Shayne and all of his help. I had never arranged or organised a funeral before and I felt so lost at the time but I felt at ease with his professionalism and help.
I had so many questions every day and a few changes of plans, which were never a problem. And this was so important when dealing with the unknown. Even the smallest details during the service were done exactly how my family wished.
Thank you again Shayne.
James Morgan

Sasha Edwards
Absolutely brilliant place to go. Shayne is such a wonderful and caring person who was there for us all during this hard time. He has done both my grandparents and now my uncle’s funeral arrangements. When I went to see my uncle before the funeral he was perfectly laid out and Shayne had even ironed the clothes I gave him as well. When we all needed a little laugh after being emotional, he was there to do that as well.
I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He was completely understanding when it came to payment arrangements. The funeral went without a hitch.
Tereza
Shayne was recommended to us when my mother passed away, and we are so glad that he was. He was very friendly and efficient from the start. He guided us through the process and kept us informed at every stage. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and we thank him very much for all that he did for us.
Sandra Bishop & Family
I would like to say a very big double thank to to Shayne, the team and everyone involved at Shayne Hogg Funeral Services.
I came to you in January by word of mouth recommendation following the death of my Mum, Patricia. You gently guided my family and I through what we needed to do, taking the stress out of stressful with your calm, kind and caring approach at such a sad and difficult time.
I never dreamt that I would need your services again so soon when my husband was taken from us in May.
Once again, you made everything fall into place, nothing too much trouble including bringing him home so promptly from the QE Birmingham.
Every funeral service is unique, hopefully reflecting the life, personality and wishes of your loved one. Thank you so much for helping to make this happen on both occasions.
You are true professionals and yet make people feel they have a friend right by their side to guide them when they need it most.

Profound thanks to Shayne Hogg Funeral Services and all their wonderful staff for the friendly and professional service that they provided us with.
They made everything so straightforward from beginning to end, which was hugely appreciated during such a difficult time.
With their attention to detail and overall excellent service, we would definitely recommend them to other families who need a highly professional undertaker that will take care of all their needs and give their loved ones the farewell they deserve.
Our deepest thanks to you all.
Filip’s Family
On behalf of myself and the whole family, we just want to say thank you for everything that both of you have done for us. Filip has had the best send off possible and he has been well taken care of by you guys. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
Once again thank you for everything.

From my first meeting with the team, I felt reassured by his professionalism. He listened to me with care and attention, and explained each of the decisions that I would need to make. At the end of the conversation, we had covered many of the essential elements, and I knew I was in a safe pair of hands.
When my husband died, the team again provided the calm reassurance and step by step guidance I needed. He phoned me almost daily to keep me informed, and sometimes, just to ask how I was.
On the day, everything happened smoothly and discreetly, and I didn’t once have to give a thought to the formalities. I was able to focus on the celebration of my husband’s life with my family and friends.
My heartfelt thanks to the Celebrant Mark Townsend, and to Shayne and everyone at Shayne Hogg.
Suzanna Thomas, Forest of Dean
I would like to say a huge thank you to Shayne for helping us through such a sad time after losing our dad.
They have been so kind and guided us through the process of organising the funeral. The professionalism and compassion shown by Shayne and his team on the day of the funeral helped us through such a difficult day and we are so grateful.
Thank you again for taking care of our dad.
Alison Meredith
Thank you all very much for all your help regarding my late father’s (Antony Dodd) funeral today. It was all spot on and by far the most lovely funeral I have ever attended. I shall certainly recommend you to other families who find themselves in the same position as us.
John Lowe
The service I received for the funeral of my life-long friend was so well organised from the start to finish. Thank you everyone at Shayne Hogg for everything involved.
Jane Hurcomb, Hayley & Danielle
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Shayne Hogg Funeral Services for all their help and support after the death of Chris. They came and collected him and took the greatest care of him, including all our many requests.
They were all so patient with us as a family and was always on the end of the phone if needed.
Our service went extremely well in the very capable hands of Mark Townsend (Celebrant). He was extremely sympathetic and very eloquent with his words, even again down to our very quirky requests.
We really recommend these very professional guys to help take care of your loved ones too.
Alan Davies
When my partner, Karen, died recently, there was only one Funeral Directors we wanted to use, and that was Shayne Hogg Funeral Services.
We had to have two funerals last year, that of my own mother and of Karen’s mother and the team at Shayne Hogg had been so knowledgeable and helpful and the funerals went off brilliantly. When I phoned the team about Karen, he was so so helpful and reassuring, as I was very confused initially about what you do in the case of a death at home. However, the team organised everything and Karen was collected the morning of her death and this was done in a very dignified and discreet way.
the team organised the funeral for me, running through all the options and he helped me to write the death notice for the paper when I was struggling with the wording.
Mark Townsend was a brilliant Celebrant who conducted the two services last year and we were lucky that he was available for Karen this year.
I have received many messages since the funeral complimenting Mark on how he conducted the service.
Shayne Hogg Funeral Services were great from start to finish and some visitors from North Wales commented that they wished Shayne Hogg was a bit nearer to them as they were so impressed.
A day that we were dreading was actually quite lovely and I am very grateful to all of you for the work you have put in to make the day such a success.
Val and Family
The family just wanted to say a huge thank you for making mum’s send off such a positive day – it made so much difference not having to worry about everything.
Paul and Joanna Cobb
Dear Shayne and the team,
Thank you both for all your help in planning David’s service of thanksgiving on Friday. It meant a lot to us that he had people who would be so respectful and thoughtful helping with the organising of everything leading up to it as well.
No-one wants to plan a funeral for someone who was much loved, but we tried to reflect his wishes for a simple service, using his beloved Range Rover to transport him and a wicker casket. Your help with enabling him to visit Swinmoor one last time was so important to him and all of us and we are so very grateful for it.
It was lovely to see how smart everyone dressed, which was something that David always did and in us choosing that it showed our collective respect for him.
Your care and attention in dressing him, checking on how many buttons to do up on his jacket, and the time taken to ensure we had exactly the right presentation on the order of service and the most appropriate choices of music helped us to feel we were giving David the very best farewell that we could. We were grateful for the efforts made to ensure it was as tailored as possible to reflect his superb character.
Allowing Jessie and William to accompany Shayne in front of the hearse at either end of the journey, and your team’s calm professional and dutiful manner when David was first collected were two extra special things that you did that meant a great deal to us.
Laura and Hayley
Dear Shayne and your wonderful team, Thank you for looking after Mum and the outstanding care and support you provided. The service at St Mary’s church and your attention to everything was so perfect.
Lee Beamond
Can I thank you first of all, for being my Funeral Director of choice and completing yesterday’s sad occasion without a hitch.
Of course, leading up to yesterday’s final farewell, there is a considerable amount of administrative/other work to be completed. All contact I have had with the team has been carried out in a friendly, efficient and ‘jolly’ manner (I don’t know if that is the correct word to use under such circumstances – but I hope you know what I mean). All of this makes everything much easier for grieving families and of course yourselves.
Ian Wilkes
The team provided an exceptional and professional service that made a difficult time much easier to deal with than might have otherwise been the case. I am very grateful that everyone at Shayne Hogg was so kind and considerate. Thank you.
Val Hinton
Thank you for guiding me through one of the toughest times of my life. You gave me so much strength to see it through and guided me every step and for that I am truly thankful.
Claire Foster
I just felt that I needed to recommend your services to others, especially now things are re-adjusting to a new normal after Dad’s untimely passing in July.
Calm, unflustered, experienced and incredibly helpful and caring. Thanks so much to the team at Shayne Hogg funeral services for ensuring that we gave my wonderful Dad the send-off he deserved. The team’s advice and guidance at an incredibly difficult time enabled us to make the right decisions when even getting through the days was hard.
The recommendation of Mark the Celebrant was perfect for us too. Mark bridged the gap between a humanist and religious service perfectly.
It was really hard deciding which funeral director to use, especially as the majority of close family members live away from Hereford.
We definitely made the right decision. I would recommend Shayne Hogg to anyone. Thanks so much.
Stuart Morgan and Family
Thank you so much. A very personal and moving experience at a sad time. We cannot praise your staff enough. The words professional and caring don’t do justice for how they handled my mother’s funeral. I could not hesitate in saying your name if asked for recommendations. Thank you again
Ian and family.
Having recently lost my dear wife, as a family we chose Shayne Hogg Funeral Services in Hereford as the local undertakers, having only heard good things about the company.
I have to say I can see why as their staff are so professional and caring. They showed true consideration, care, diligence and kindness.
Nothing was too much trouble for them. Well done to you all. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you for making it that little bit easier on the day we will never forget.
C Williams
We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for helping us with my late mum’s funeral recently. From the first initial phone call to the funeral service itself, the service we received was outstanding.
Nothing was too much trouble and any query we raised was dealt with in a calm, professional, reassuring manner by the team. We felt that we received 1-2-1 service and helped us through a very difficult time, which was enhanced by so many covid restrictions.
Jo Howe & Hayley Thomas
Thank you to all at Shayne Hogg Funeral Directors for the thoughtfullness, care and compassion shown in the days leading up to and on the day of laying our dear Dad (Peter Morris) to rest. From the guidance provided by the team with such care and sensitivity, the dignity and respect shown by Shayne when walking in front of the hearse, to providing careful, considerate instruction to the bearers, my sister and I are so incredibly grateful for your support in the most difficult of days.
Lisa Thomson & Family, Hereford
“Losing my son Liam in a sudden tragic death is not what a parent should have to go through. I’m devastated. I would like to thank Shayne for everything he has done for us. He is very professional, polite, sensitive. He took the stress away from me. Every visit I had I was dreading, but Shayne made me feel at ease and comfortable. He did an amazing job with the funeral services and treated my son with the utmost respect. I’ll never forget that. I was more than impressed with the service, professionalism and kindness. I really can’t thank Shayne enough. He is a truly amazing person and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love Lisa & Family xxxx”
The Williams Family, Hereford
“We made the best decision in choosing Shayne to deal with the cremation service for our lovely Jim “Snowy”. Our sadness was dealt with in a caring, gentle way. We would also like to thank Mark for his relaxed and friendly approach to officiating the service. We, as a family, absolutely recommend Shayne. “
Sue Jones, Hereford
“Thank you to Shayne and staff for the outstanding and professional services shown towards us on our sad loss of our very dear mother. “
Jeremy Bugden, Salisbury
“How on the earth do you go about arranging a funeral and celebration of life for the most wonderfully brave and inspirational Mum in the world? My sisters, Gina and Holly, like me, were lost and bereft – we were all in great pain. Shayne “held our hands” throughout the whole process from careful selection of coffin and casket to the order of service. The service on the day was so sensitively carried out with Shayne leading the car in such a gracious and respectful manner. And he gave us all clear instructions as to how to take Mum into the Crematorium. Thanks to everyone at Shayne Hogg Funeral Services.”
Geoff, London
“We would give Shayne Hogg 10 out of 10. It was very helpful and reassuring to deal with someone professional who knew what they were doing. He guided us through the process, helped us put everything together and was calm and relaxed throughout. Mark helped us structure the order of service, officiated at the service and again was great. We are happy with what we thought was a fine funeral.”
Tracey & Alan Hidgson, Hereford
“We would like to thank Shayne for making the most difficult time a little easier. He is very professional and helped take the stress away. Nothing was too much trouble. From the first meeting, we knew we could trust him. He provided us with excellent service and most importantly he never tried to sell us a service that we didn’t require. Many thanks again for your support”
Louise Hembrow, Hereford
“Losing your ten-year-old boy as in sudden tragic death is something no one wants to ever have to go through. I went down most days to see my boy and Shayne was always there to support and to help me through everything, even if just a shoulder to cry on. The funeral was as amazing as I could expect. I want to thank them all so very very much. They made the whole process as easy as it could be.”
Sam Parker and family, Ledbury/Hereford
“Thanks to all at Shayne Hogg. A very hard time with my mum Geraldine’s passing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Mum had a great send-off and Mark who did the service was brilliant. Never an easy time losing someone that means a lot to you. I wouldn’t say Shayne Hogg’s makes it any easier grieving wise as we all grieve at our own pace, but they make the process of giving a loved one the best send off much easier. Great service and I’m certain that mum had the best send off and exactly how she wanted. Many thanks.”
Jane Kibble & Family, Ledbury
“In June I lost my husband after a short illness. It was not expected and came as quite a shock. A friend recommended Shayne, so I contacted him and immediately felt that a weight had been lifted. He showed compassion, empathy and professionalism throughout the whole process. The attention to detail and the effort put in was above and beyond anything I expected. When, two weeks after losing my husband, I lost my Mother, he just took everything out of my hands, told me not to worry and that he would deal with everything. Which he did. Everything was organised down to the finest detail, all I had to do was say yes or no. I will never be able to thank the team for all their hard work. They made the hardest time in my life a lot easier. Hubby would have loved the day.”
Tim Jones and family, Hereford
“I would just like to say a massive thank you to Shayne and team for all of their help, support and sheer professionalism in helping us organise dad’s funeral. Their attention to detail is amazing and they are so respectful of everyone. It made organizing one of the hardest things you have to do much easier and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will always be eternally grateful for such wonderful service and giving dad a wonderful send-off.”
Jan Pace & Family, Hereford

Carol Hornby, Hereford
“I would like to thank Shayne on the saddest day of my life saying bye-bye to my beautiful mum. His kindness and compassion made the day bearable. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Mark Townsend, who conducted my mum’s service, was amazing.”
Abby Webb and Chris Turner, Hereford
“The thought of organising a funeral was extremely daunting, but after the initial chat with Shayne, I felt very reassured and instantly knew we had made the right choice on choosing them. Shayne was always polite and sensitive as well as very professional, and he made us feel as though nothing was too much trouble. We aren’t religious people so when he suggested Mark Townsend conduct the service, we were initially unsure. But we can honestly say Mark took on board everything we asked for and exceeded it. It truly was a beautiful service. And we can now start to move forward with an everlasting memory of a service and care that was provided with dignity and respect for Scarlett, as well as sympathy and understanding towards us. We truly cannot thank you enough”
Elaine Grove, Hereford
“I would like to thank Shayne for all the care and support shown to myself and my family over the loss of my dad. Mark Townsend was recommended to us to carry out the service and what he did was more than we expected. He was such a genuine and sincere person, he surpassed our expectations.”
Jo Jones & Family, Credenhill
“The kindness, care, attention to detail and professionalism that Shayne showed towards my Dad and the family made this very difficult time so much easier to bear. I was dreading the initial meeting we had, but Shayne made it a positive and comforting experience. The recommendation to use Mark Townsend to deliver the service was excellent. Mark was perfect for what we wanted, he sensitively prepared us ahead of the funeral and led the service exactly the way we wanted it. I have nothing but praise for everything that Shayne did for us. The way Shayne led Dad out of our road on the day of the funeral was both moving and poignant. Nothing was too much trouble and they lifted the burden from our shoulders at a time when it was much needed. “

Steven Harrison, Hereford
“Our dear friend Kirsty suddenly passed away aged 28. The funeral arrangements were going to be difficult due to the emotional rollercoaster, numbers attending and family dynamics. The attentive and caring service provided by Shayne was above and beyond expectation. The support from the beginning of this journey to the end was respectful and dignified. Many thanks. “
Karen Cunningham Kennett, Hereford
“I lost my husband Mark very suddenly and unexpectedly and didn’t have a clue what to do. However, Shayne took all the stress and worry out of organising the funeral and helped me make all the right decisions. Every detail was as important to him as it was to my family and me. I could contact Shayne as often and at any time that I needed to for advice and support. Nothing was too much trouble. He is a very kind, patient and thoughtful person”
Lorraine Ashworth, Hereford
“We would like to pass on our thanks to Shayne Hogg. From the first phone call, we were put at ease.

He treated us with such friendliness and kindness and we can’t thank him enough. Also thank you for the recommendation of Mark Townsend. Would have no hesitation in recommending them in the future. A caring professional company. Thank you all again.”

From the bottom of our hearts, we all thank you very much and will be recommending you in the future”
Kath Amos, Ledbury
“My family and I would like to thank Shayne Hogg for the kindness and excellent service in carrying out my late father, Kenneth John Hursey’s funeral.

His professionalism and kindness made all of this more bearable and we thank you so much. The recommendation they gave us for Mark Townsend to take the service was excellent what a lovely human being he is. Thank you very much.”
Sheila Thomas, Hereford HR4 0RU
“From the moment we arrived at the funeral home we were made to feel at ease. It was an emotional time but we were able to ask as many questions as we liked with time not being an issue. We felt that financially all details were covered and the cost was very good. With the help of Shayne and the recommendations they gave us for Mark Townsend to take the service and the flowers by Ann Cousins, it made a difficult time for our family much easier. We would recommend Shayne for a business run with empathy and thoughtfulness. “

Mark & Debbie Etheridge-Barnes, Hereford
“We first met Shayne And the team back in April 2012, when our 21-year-old son Kurt Etheridge (Rifleman Etheridge) was suddenly taken from us. Kurt was based in Catterick near Darlington and Shayne arranged to bring Kurt home, back to Hereford. On the day of the funeral, Shayne arranged for a police escort through a busy Hereford, which brought tears to a few eyes. The funeral was held to a very professional and high standard, right down to the unique order of service we asked for. Nothing was ever too much for them.
