We thank all families who leave us reviews — your kind words reflect our passion and commitment to caring for your loved ones.

A recent review:
“We have experienced two bereavements in the last eight months, and on both occasions Sylvia and her fantastic team have been caring, compassionate and professional. Sylvia goes above and beyond, ensuring everything is handled with dignity and care. We would highly recommend H. Bates Funeral Directors to anyone needing their services.”

Proud to share that H. Bates, Queensbury has once again successfully met the rigorous standards set by both NAFD and SAIF.
Although we have been registered with these organisations for many years, our most recent inspections have now been completed, and the updated certificates are in place.

These checks ensure that the highest levels of care, professionalism and transparency are continually being met — not just once, but year after year.

In line with the national requirements for public visibility, I’ll be posting the updated certificates so families can see the standards we are committed to upholding.

Should you need our services, please call 01274 880244 — we’re here whenever you need us.

A family we recently had the privilege of supporting have asked me to share their kind words following the funeral of Ron Haley.

“I was very impressed with the way you dealt with everyone and everything from the time of Ron’s death and the subsequent processes and preparations. Throughout all of this time you upheld professional standards in all of your dealings, and at the same time showed warmth, compassion and consideration towards those closest to him. The coffin, flowers and church service were very special, as was the choice of venue for his wake and the catering involved. I certainly appreciate all of your input and thank you for giving Ron his special day of remembrance.”

It’s always a privilege to be trusted with something so personal, and I’m truly grateful to Ron’s family for allowing me to share their message.
