At our Selby funeral home, we cherish our local community and aim to serve them to a high standard. It is our role to make certain that all families in our care receive the consistent quality that we are known for as Dignity Funeral Directors.

We can arrange different types of funerals, which allows us to plan what you have in mind for your loved one’s final farewell.

With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.

I would highly recommend H.H. Chambers’s of Selby. They are all highly professional, extremely friendly and take care of your loved one in their care as they do all family involved.
They show care and kindness to your lost family member which is comforting, as they do with the family they are helping throughout this sadmtime.
Our first port of call was Angela. Such a lovely gentle lady who made us feel comfortable as soon as we entered the reception area.
Angela showed compassion, kindness and was totally professional at all times.
Angela organised everything for me from the start of this extremely sad occasion of losing Mum to the finale and beyond. I didn’t have to worry or organise anything myself Angela took it all on board taking all the stress away at such a dreadfully sad time.
Then I met Martin, what a lovely kind compassionate smiley man.
To us as a family Martin was exceptional throughout, he even rang me on Sunday afternoon prior to Mums funeral Monday morning just to check we were ok and to reassure me all arrangements were all in place so that I didn’t have to worry at all. Martin took charge from there onwards, nothing was too much trouble at all.
I speak extremely highly of both of these lovely people who offer an excellent service, who go over and above the call of duty to make a very sad occasion bearable.
They both have all the time in the world for all of your needs in the saddest of times, I will never forget and thank them both immensely.
I do hope my comments are passed onto Martin and Angela as they deserve this.
Thank you so much.

I cannot praise highly enough the calm and understanding way in which my husband's funeral was arranged on 1st Feb this year. Martin, Lottie and all concerned at H H Chambers, Selby, supported myself and my family from beginning to end, making such a sad occasion easier to bear.

At the peak of the Covid19 infections in late 2020 to New Year 2021, my aged father (in excellent health) succumbed to the virus and passed away in mid January. He was on an isolation ward in York Hospital and needed to be moved. Fortunately my father had funeral insurance and the nearest Funeral Directors were HH Chambers of Selby. I spoke with Martin Wallis, who is kindness and understanding personified. After some paperwork was signed and dates were agreed, all proceeded like magic, with gentle reminders for things to be considered; all the other 101 things that are necessary and least on your mind.
If I had to choose three words to encompass HH Chambers and the funeral of my Dad, it would be 'Kind, Dignified, Professionalism'.

I would like to say a very big thank you to Martin, Lottie and the team at Chambers Selby who did a fantastic job handling my Dad's recent funeral. This was my first experience of doing this and the Chambers team were there to help me through every step with advice and detail. Everything went very smoothly and just as planned on the day. The perfect service!

We found HH Chambers to be very professional.
Everything was organised for us.
I received regular updates on what was happening, which I found useful. Anything I needed to do was brought to my attention as and when needed which took away the stress of organising a funeral.
I have no negative points to make about the whole experience.
Many, many thanks to the staff at Selby.

in a lovely, kind and caring way. Martin helped me through an extremely sad time and even contacted
me on a regular basis to check I was coping ok. Would definitely recommend.

Martin was very professional, understanding and caring. Because a lot of our communication with Martin was on the phone we were really impressed with his arrangements. This is the third funeral that he has undertaken for us and each one has been perfect. In fact Martin even played the record that Uncle had requested without a hesitation in the church. Cannot fault Chambers and Son Funeral Directors and would recommend their service to anyone. Many thanks for all that you have done for us. Derek and Jane Cheetham

Overall we found the service exactly what we required, there are just a few points that we would like to draw attention to that might be opportunities for improvement.
1) We worked through the Selby office, contact that office and finding somebody who was knowledgeable of our funeral was difficult if the main contact person was unavailable. We understand that Selby is not the head office, but a system where information is more readily available to a support desk might be an improvement.
2) I was sent an electronic copy of the order of service shortly before it was due to be printed. This electronic copy was incomplete. This caused a worry as it was a weekend and I was subsequently informed this was sent in error. A more formal check and issuing of the electronic copy as part of the formal process would be helpful.
3) We liked the concept of the online information page but found it not particularly user friendly in a number of ways. Specifically being able to edit was hard, the system seemed to 'lose' my registration. The process of issuing the link to friends and family could be better, the contact list of email addresses didn't seem to be accessible and maintainable. Thirdly, perhaps a more overt link to a JustGiving page would be helpful to make the donation element more consistent.
