Have known shayne many years now, which is why I choose to use his services. Right from the start Denise made the first initial phone call caring and understanding, and from then onwards was supportive to all the family. Shayne was was amazing and managed to source two flags for my dads coffin within hours and looked after my dad so gently and caring right down to the day of the funeral he was there paging my dads hearse and offering his support. I totally recommend Shayne stork funeral services . For there commpasiom kindness. Thank you to everyone that helped the passing of my dad and the hard times after go a little easier for me.

Shayne Stork conducted the funeral of my Son Steven, who died in Thailand. It was not just the funeral that Shayne and his team had to conduct, it was receiving the coffin from Heathrow Airport, that arrived from Bangkok, waiting at the Customs Office at Heathrow and bringing Steven home to Norwich. The whole operation, had to be handled with special care and professionalism. When something tragic happened like this, we appreciated the service the Shayne Stork company provided. Our son had so many friends throughout the world and Shayne arranged an online live video, to be viewed by those who were unable to attend. At a time when a family is at a loss about what to do, it is reassuring to know that Shayne, Denise and Oliver are there for you. Pam & John Russell

    Shayne Stork Funeral Services recently handled my mum’s funeral, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very start, Shayne and his team were absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, and their care, compassion, and professionalism made an incredibly difficult time much easier to bear.

    It was clear that they genuinely cared about making the day as special as possible for us, and for that, I am deeply grateful. If you are looking for a funeral director who goes above and beyond, Shayne Stork Funeral Services is outstanding.
