Having never had to go through the process of organising a funeral before I was very unsure of what was involved. However, Kayley at Gordon Rooney made the process easy. Kayley was so kind and compassionate. She kept me informed and organised everything. Amazing customer service. Roger the funeral director was so respectful and helped and supported me during the funeral proceedings, ensuring myself and other close family were OK. He did a follow up call the day after to ensure we were happy with how funeral went. I cannot thank the team at Gordon Rooney enough. They have been wonderful. Would highly recommend Gordon Rooney and will be using them for my own funeral plan. Thank you GR.

  • 5 Aaron Fake 11th Dec 2023

    Our loved one passed away at home on the Saturday and by Monday we had the funeral director with us planning his funeral. 

    Contact from the funeral director (Roger) throughout whole process was excellent. 

    My family were very happy with the care our loved one received and after being embalmed they told me he looked 20 years younger. 

    Lots of personal touches included such as ensuring the Order of Service reflected our loved one’s passion for Elvis. We also got locks of hair, hand and thumb prints.

    The service was beautiful especially the reflection with music of our choice and photos. 

    Thank you very much Gordon Rooney.

    Louise at Gordon Rooney Funeral Care was extremely kind and caring, whilst maintaining the professional dignity, courtesy and efficiency that we needed whilst arranging my late aunt’s funeral. From my first tentative telephone enquiry, to Louise’s courtesy call after the funeral, we couldn’t have asked for a better service. Thank you Louise, James and the team at Earlham Funeralcare.

  • 3 Dorothy Robinson 1st Jul 2023

    Think Louise was very nice but a little bit patronising. She came across as super organised but several little things showed she wasn’t that efficient, although nothing that cause any major issues overall a good service
