Everything went very smoothly regarding my mum's funeral and I felt I was supported every step of the way, and I liked the regular contact to make sure everything was correct. The order of service and flowers were beautiful and the staff very friendly and sympathetic.

  • 5 Jennifer Ewens 17th Oct 2022

    Caring, compassionate, but professional.
    I was supported and helped through the process at all times.
    I felt that I was important to them, they wanted to understand my wishes and thoughts for Toby’s funeral. I am so grateful.

  • 4 Neville Geoffrey Pollard 14th Sep 2022

    Basically, excellent. I was impressed that the Funeral Director called to see me the day before the funeral to return mum's rings and talk through the process of the funeral. A big thank you.
    The only negative was that Funeral Director no longer arrange buffet / sandwiches post funeral as a part of the care package. Not knowing suitable venues in the area, I did find it hard to fix up - in the end the chosen venue was good. (The Cheshire Sports and Social Club) Might be worth having a list of suitable venues to hand out for the bereaved to review and choose.

  • 5 Rosemary Anne Evans 5th Sep 2022

    George Pettit funeralcare did a fantastic job for us throughout the entire arrangement and actual burial process They were in constant contact with the family making sure what they were arranging was what we wanted.

  • 5 Janet Starmer 24th May 2022

    I strongly recommend George Petit. They are warm, friendly, supportive throughout . My husband passed away suddenly last month and with their help and guidance both before and on the day of the funeral I felt 'looked after' and that they genuinely cared. Very efficient and professional. Janet Starmer, Chester

  • 5 Lynne Mills 14th Mar 2022

    The Team at Pettits were wonderful from start to finish. Rebecca looked after everything for us from an administration point of view and took care of all the arrangements, keeping us up to date at every stage of the process. Kelly the Funeral Director was quite simply the best person you could ever wish for to lead all the formal proceedings with a cheery smile and exactly the right friendly approach to make it all go smoothly. Despite her and the Team doing this several times a day Kelly really did make it all very special and relaxed which made things easier for us and I cannot praise them high enough for all they have done for my Mum.

  • 5 Helen Makin 14th Mar 2022
