Have used Summers for both of my parents. There is no other Funeral care to compare against. From day 1 they are totally professional, sympathetic to families and deceased needs. My father would have been so proud of his day. Thank you so much to everyone at Summers.

    We received an excellent service from James Summers in Roath, Cardiff.

    We highly recommend James Summers for their personal approach, attention to detail and excellent service. 

  • 5 Marcel Herbert 29th Dec 2021

    Thank you James summers although a sad day it all went well as of expected thank you for all your help and guidance throughout the process.

  • 5 Julie Turner 29th Dec 2021

    Excellent care from beginning to end. The only disappointment felt throughout the whole process was when dealing with Karen on reception at Roath Court. On each occasion of speaking with or meeting Karen I didn’t feel the same care & compassion from her as I had with EVERY other team member. On collection of mums ashes on Christmas Eve I was shocked and saddened when Karen presented these from underneath her desk like it was some shopping I had come back to collect. I was devastated that such a poignant moment was dealt with in such a heartless manner. Whilst I appreciate that this is an everyday occurrence as part of Karen’s role, for the families you are supporting this is of course a deeply emotional time & I felt my mum didn’t receive the respect she deserved at this point which saddened me greatly. 
    I would however like to end on a positive with a special mention to Beth, Karen Jones (celebrant) and Neil who were all patient, personal, caring, empathetic & respectful. Thank you so much for your kindness at our very sad time.

  • 5 Robert John Spry 24th Nov 2021

    James Summers were excellent throughout the entire process - compassionate and caring, they led us through every step of the process and took the tension & pressure off us and allowed us to concentrate on grieving without worrying about the funeral process itself. The funeral day was organised seamlessly & the service was excellent.

    On behalf of our whole family we would like to thank James Summers & staff Stephen Reeves, Charlotte & Vicar the Reverend James Henley.

    Regards,
    Rob Spry
