Annie Southgate 4th Feb 2020

Shayne was so great with mum after we lost Dad, that she wanted Shayne to deal with her own funeral.  She would not have been disappointed.  Excellent service.  Shayne is so perfect at his job.

  • 5 Owen Gibbs 28th Jan 2020

    We would highly recommend Shayne Stork to anyone looking for a kind thoughtful and extremely helpful Funeral service, an Independant whom was more concerned with helping us plan the funeral with various ideas and tips, than the larger corporate entities we visited whom all wanted to upscale the service at a higher cost.
    So we would say go direct to Shane and receive the consideration your loved ones deserve.
    We cannot thank Shayne and his staff enough. With special thanks to Bob Hannam the celebrant whom was absolutely brilliant and who made the service so special and thoughtful.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Owen, words cannot express how grateful I am for your kind review of our services, it means so much to hear these kind words. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the services for your dad. 
    All the best Shayne.

  • 5 John Bridges 18th Jan 2020

    We as a family could not of wished for a more fitting and respectful send off for our dad Geoffrey but this was only possible with the exceptional help and kindness shown by Shayne and his team of whom are all part of a wonderful funeral service. we as a family  would like to say thank you and know if your services are ever needed we will be on the phone to you
    regards the Bridges family 

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you John for really lovely comments, it was a pleasure to look after you and your family again. 
  • 5 Richard Ogilvie 6th Jan 2020

    Shayne recently organised the funeral arrangements for my dad and we couldn't recommend him more highly. He runs a 24 hour family business so that at any time of day you can get in touch with him, Emma, Harry or his office staff.
    Shayne is efficient and organised, but also so sensitive and caring that he made a very difficult experience as agreeable as it could possibly be. He also enabled all the payments (flowers, wake, charity contributions, etc.) to be on one invoice which was, for us, a weight taken off our shoulders just when we needed it. When the hospital were taking a long time to produce the death certificate he contacted their bereavement office on our behalf and the result was immediate.
    So we recommend Shayne and his team as highly as possible and without any reservation whatsoever. Many, many thanks, Shayne.
    Richard, Dulcie, Patrick and Georgina Ogilvie.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Richard and family, I am absolutely humbled at the kind words and review of our services, it means so much to us to be able to give you the best service we  possibly can. On behalf of myself, my family and colleagues, thank you.

  • 5 Brian Moore 26th Sep 2019

    Never a good time to make an appointment with a funeral director, but Shayne put us at ease immediately and gave us great confidence that everything would be fine on the day. This was justified to such an extent that I will be taking out a plan myself. A faultless experience!

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Thank you Brian,
    glad we could help you at this time a funeral plan is a good thing to have to take away a lot of stress from your family at a very difficult time of their lives, you are always welcome to call in to talk to me about one. shayne

    I would thoroughly recommend Shayne and his family business to anyone. The service we received at what is always a difficult time was exemplary. Shayne is very supportive, helpful in his guidance and has a wealth of experience which he draws on. He made a difficult time significantly easier.

  • 5 Rachel Brabazon-Dremming 12th Aug 2019

    Couldn't be more pleased with the service we received from Shayne and his team. At a time when the worst has happened, they made us feel so at ease. With no pressure about anything. He was so approachable and easy to talk to and on the day was so professional, respectful and reassuring about everything going on. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Would highly recommend and we will most certainly be using Shayne in the future. ( hopefully not for a long time yet!!)

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Rachel and family,

    Thank you so much for this we always try to make people feel at ease and never pressure anyone and we pride ourselves on this. Hopefully will not be seeing you for a long time professionally anyway.

  • 5 Caroline Robinson 17th Jul 2019

     I think they looked after my girl really well time at such a young age of 19 they were really respectful  , explain things to me really well   I’m so chuffed that I went there very family oriented not just about money that’s the bit I loved about it the most that I knew that my girl would get a really good sendoff if that’s the way you can explain it , they explain things  really well to me   And really understanding of things in where I was at  

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Caroline, thank you for your kind words so pleased you asked me to look after your Daughter for you but please remember that I am always here if you need any thing.
