The service provided by Shaw's was nothing short of excellent, during this difficult time the team were thoughtful, caring, professional, sensitive and extremely helpful. I'd also like to thank Victoria and Ava for making our experience as painless as possible. I would highly recommend Shaw's.

  • 5 Jacqueline Casey 20th Apr 2022

    Very sympathetic and professional, helped us through  the very sad process of arranging our mums funeral.  Can not recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Philip Wood 14th Apr 2022

    Outstandingly good service from everyone I met. The fact that the priest who was to carry out the service contracted COVID in the early hours of the morning of the service was handled with supreme aplomb by Victoria. In turn this was testament to the professionalism of the entire organisation. 
    I felt that delivering my wife’s eulogy was taxing enough for me. But carrying out this potentially nerve shattering task has to be applauded.

  • 5 Stefanie Ireland 12th Apr 2022

    excellent and compassionate service

  • 5 Michael Atkinson 5th Apr 2022

    Thank you for making a difficult time much easier. Very professional full funeral service and kept the necessary business aspect to a minimum, concentrating on caring and looking after myself and sisters concerns and needs after our mums passing.

    Lovely staff, kept us informed at all times provided care for our mum and service exactly as per our wishes. A sincere thank you from all of Marians family and friends.



  • 5 Sue Pilling 4th Apr 2022

    Approachable staff,very empathetic.
    No detail too small to get things just right.
    Good direction on the day of the funeral.

  • 5 Anne Eckersley 31st Mar 2022

    Very pleased with the way you arranged everything for us in a caring and supportive manner. Just what we needed at a difficult time. Thank you.

  • 5 Maxine Broughton 30th Mar 2022

    Brilliant experience with your Company from walking through the door after our Mum's death until dropping us off after the funeral.
    Leanne Davenport at Shaws, Chorley New Road Bolton was outstanding and guided us every step of the way. The recommendation of Janet Massey(celebrant) was inspiring. She took on board everything regarding our Mum and we had nothing to worry about on the day of the funeral, has everything went perfectly. Once again I congratulate your Company and I would recommend you again to my family and friends.....

  • 5 Joanne Davies 28th Mar 2022

    At this devastating time , we were treated with great respect & felt very well cared for . All members of staff we came across were friendly & helpful at all times . The celebrant selected by Shaws, Ruth McLoughlin did a fantastic job on the day . We couldn’t have asked for more .

  • 4 Stephen Neil 28th Mar 2022

    We only required a direct cremation for an estranged family member with no funeral plan and so cost was the primary variable in our decision to use Shaws. Whilst being competitive on this, they were also reasonably efficient and professional with only a few signed pages needing to be emailed over.

  • 4 Lynn Stonehewer 28th Mar 2022

    Your calm and patient help at a very stressful time was invaluable. Thankyou for enabling me to arrange the funeral service that I wanted. Also for sorting the words to the hymn. The service was excellent and went without a hitch.
    However, having waited a week for the coroner's report, I found it very stressful waiting in limbo after being told not to rush. So overall, the service you provided was almost excellent.

  • 5 Robert Findlay 28th Mar 2022

    Very impressed with the service from the outset until after the funeral was held

  • 5 Tony Seals 16th Mar 2022

    From the first meeting of Diane and her team everything was done with compassion and care for us as a family nothing was to much trouble and the full funeral was beautifully done .Thanks Tony and Lyn.
