Ben white and team at Andrew Grays are exceptionally in their care compassion and empathy from first contact couldn't praise them enough

Paula Jobling 17th May 2026

I cannot speak highly enough of Ben and the team at Andrew Greys . Ben was exceptional during such a difficult time. From our very first interaction, Ben demonstrated genuine compassion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring every detail was handled with dignity and respect. He guided us through the entire process with clarity and patience, always taking the time to explain options and listen to our wishes. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal—Ben made sure that every aspect of the service truly reflected our loved one’s life and personality. What stood out most was his calm and reassuring presence. During moments that felt overwhelming, he brought a sense of order and peace that made a tremendous difference to our family. The service itself was beautifully arranged and executed flawlessly. Many attendees commented on how thoughtful and well-organised everything was, which is a testament to Ben’s dedication and attention to detail. I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Grey to anyone in need of a funeral director. Bens kindness, integrity, and professionalism was truly outstanding, and we are deeply grateful for the support he and the team have gave us Margaret & Family

  • 5 Dawn Lockey 17th Mar 2026

    We felt that we were very well looked after from the start of the process of organising the funeral to the end of the funeral itself.

    Ben kept us informed at every stage, he contacted me regularly to let me know what was happening and nothing we asked for was a bother, every single detail was taken care of. The flowers were beautiful and very fresh, the coffin itself was immaculate and our Dad was treated with respect and dignity.

    On the day of the funeral Andrew and his team were wonderful. It was an emotional day, but Andrew made sure we were taken care of, he and the team were a real comfort to us throughout. It was a positive day, full of love, dignity and respect. This is all thanks to Andrew and his team. Many thanks to you all.
