A Truly Independent Personal Family Funeral Director

About Isobel

I am Isobel but everyone calls me Izzy! I am the Funeral Director here at Isobel Whittaker Funeral Services, as well as jointly owning the company with my husband, James.

I’ve been in this industry since I left college; starting off my journey with a family-run, independent funeral directors who gave me the opportunity to learn and helped me to find a full-time job. I then moved to a large funeral directors where I started as an administrator then as an operative then a funeral director. Moving through different positions has given me valuable experience with all aspects of funeral arranging.

The care that we as a family received from Izzy over this really awful period was wonderful. My beautiful Mum's funeral was flawless. During her visit to us I made a passing comment regarding flowers that Mum had had in her wedding bouquet. On the day of the funeral, there they were in Mum's arrangement. This small gesture absolutely blew me away and proved that she listens and takes notice of even the tiniest details, which make a huge difference to those who are grieving. I cannot recommend Isobel highly enough, her care, compassion and general loveliness goes above and beyond. This is not "just a job" for her. Thank you again Izzy, I will be forever grateful.

A fantastic service from this young woman. She took all the stress out of what was an extremely sad time following the death of my wife 2 weeks before our 55th wedding anniversary. She guided me through all the options and offered a 24/7 contact phone number. Any changes I wanted to make were done without fuss. Nothing was too much trouble. The funeral itself was beautifully presented and I felt I was in control the whole time, guided by Isobel. I would not hesitate to recommend this young company to anyone.

I can't thank Izzy enough for helping to make a very traumatic time easier. Everything was handled very professionally and at the same time in a very caring and thoughtful manner. She organised everything for me, even down to taking care of the wake afterwards so I didn't have to worry about it. I could not have had anyone better to send my husband on his final journey, I can highly recommend Whittaker Funeral services.

After having been to what feels like far too many funerals lately, it has really highlighted what makes Isobel Whittaker Funeral Services stand out. Everything was taken care of while still ensuring the family get exactly what they want. The personal touches were just phenomenal from regularly checking on my mums wellbeing after my step-dad passed, to ensuring his personality was captured for the funeral. Izzy helped make sure the service was what John would have wanted with elements of fun and personality injected, it was differentto the run of the mill service, it was different, it was John, it was us!. Izzy even took time to help my 4 year old daughter process losing her Grandad, and also came to collect a painting she had done for her Grandad to put in the coffin on her behalf so he would always have it with him. From the moment she collected John until the funeral she treated him with such respect and dignity, and like any living person!. Absolutely phenomenal service, very very highly recommended
