The service provided by the company was excellent. The discussions which took place when planning the funeral were very useful. The order of service leaflets produced were excellent and the music and slide show were just as required and were well received. The celebrate recommended by the company was really excellent and all the mourners were appreciative of the way he conducted the service. On the day the the funeral director and his staff were very pleasant and helpful and everything went to plan. I can recommend this company.

    What a refreshing attitude to the whole business of organising a funeral. It has always been an occasion where everyone treads softly. But I found Stephen P Gay’s to be practicable and sensible and also light hearted. 

    Also we had a great service for a price that you don’t see on the tele. ( it was a lot less)

    Everyone I spoke to at Stephen P Gray were very friendly and helpful. I didn't know what the process was but they steered me through it and made suggestions when asked. The funeral itself went seamlessly, the pallbearers quietly and respectfully did their job but let me know what was to happen. I would definitely recommend them.

    Firstly my deepest thanks for the excellent handling of everything involved in making my dear partners funeral perfect.
    The staff in the branch were so accommodating and didn’t mind me changing things around. They listened and guided, offered tissues, kind words and advice. I felt completely as ease and confident in the planning. Then the very professional services on the day from Stephen and his team again made everything run to plan. We were guided step by step with precision. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Stephen P Gay to anyone who needs this for their loved ones.
