Ian and the rest of his team took care of my mother's funeral with grace and respect to all her wishes. The funeral was beautiful. Thank you Ian for the support and professionalism of all those involved. My mother would have been so happy. I can't thank you and your team enough. From our first meeting we were kept informed of all that was going on, and for that we are truly grateful. I would say if you want the special touch and care, as well as respect for your loved one and you as a family, look no further than Greaves funeral services.

I found Greaves Funeral Services very accommodating this was my first time arranging a funeral and they went above and beyond and took time out to explain everything in detail I found the office staff very helpful, and they have a lot of patience no matter how many times I called them the day went well they done everything that was expected of them first class service....
