On behalf of the Sharkie family we would like to say a huge Thank You to Luke and Angela and the team for being so kind and thoughtful to us all during a very sad time. The attention to detail and kindness received helped to ease a little of the pain we felt x

Lesley Joosub 15th Jun 2021

When our brother passed away up in Lincolnshire, we knew the first thing we needed to do was get him back to his home town in Leysdown. We contacted Luke Allum explaining the situation and straight away he started discussing when he could drive up to collect him and take him into his care. Since that first contact Luke has been nothing short of amazing. Everything we asked for he did, even finding a silver Mercedes for the hearse instead of traditional black. Our brother was far from traditional. Luke kept the office open when we drove down to discuss the arrangements and even met us away from the office on a weekend, nothing is ever too much trouble. He goes out of his way to take any problem away that you may have. Not only is he fantastic at what he does, he's also a really nice guy too and totally respectful of every situation. The ladies in the office are equally as lovely, and everyone works brilliantly as a team. Through Luke Allum we were able to make all of our brother’s wishes for his last journey happen, resulting in a most beautiful and uniquely personal goodbye.

Luke Allum has arranged my Dad's and 14 months later my Mum's funeral, they made both a lot more bearable with their friendly professional service and added personal bits to make the day as best as it can. Thank you Luke Allum & Company x

    Luke, Sue and the rest of the team were absolutely wonderful during this difficult time. Always available by phone or email and even helped us with a weekend visit to the chapel to see mum.

    I could not fault Luke Allum and his team they were respectful and supportive and helpful from the moment I entered to start making arrangements for the funeral.., right through to two days after the funeral when Angela phoned to make sure I was alright. I would recommend these funeral directors to any one.

    Luke is as genuine as any you are likely to meet. He and his team are superb. I can't put into words how much they make a very hard time just a little easier. I have had the sad pleasure for want of a better way to put it to to deal with him twice, but I would go nowhere else.

  • 5 Valerie Avey 12th Feb 2019

    I don’t think I can put into words how much we appreciate all the help and support that we received. Really professional but caring and helpful. We had some issues getting a death certificate and they were really helpful and understanding. We felt like there wasn’t any question we couldn’t ask and they really went out of there way to help us resolve issues which were not even part of their job. 
    Really open to doing what you wish for your loved one not just what is traditional. 
    Can’t thank them enough
