    A highly professional and caring funeral director with a personal touch. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much assuring that Gwen's

  • 5 Doug Honey 14th Jul 2026

    G F Gubbin Funeral Directors were fantastic from start to finish. Everything was made so easy for us considering the challenge of loved one passing away in a foreign country. Harry was so easy to deal with and professional at all times. On one of the hottest days of the years, he actually asked if it was ok to take his thick black coat off! It was about 35 degrees at the time and he was wearing his waistcoat underneath! Jo in the office was always on hand and responded so quickly. There are so many little things that just don't think of in these situations as you're trying to deal with so much all at once. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
