    We left the organisation of Mum's funeral in Shayne's capable hands. From our first meeting with him we knew that we had made the right choice. We found him to be sympathetic and caring but also accommodating and flexible. He made a sad and stressful time much simpler and the funeral went very well. Mum would've been chuffed.

    There are so many amazing things I could say about how incredible Shayne is, he made sure mums final goodbye went without a glitch, nothing we asked of him was ever too much trouble, from the day he collected her from home to the day she was laid to rest he went above and beyond the call of duty always ensuring she was treated with dignity and care, I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better person to take care of mum from start to finish and our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts 

    Kindest regards Nikki and family

  • 5 Christina Brown 20th May 2020

    Shayne allowed us to have a face-to-face meeting despite having to work within the enforced lockdown restrictions. This was very helpful for us as we had never organised a cremation before. He ensured that all of our questions were answered. The team supporting Shane was also very professional and everything was done to a very high standard.

    The cremation was conducted with compassion and integrity.

    Thank you on behalf of all of the family and friends.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Christina, Thank you for you comments we are trying our very best during the lockdown restrictions to keep things as normal but as safe as we can. I am so pleased me and my team could help you at this time.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Sally, Thank you so much for your kind words glad I was able to help you and that you felt in capable hands. All the very best Shayne
  • 5 Frances Kett 15th May 2020

    Shayne and his team were very professional, non pushy unlike other corporate funeral directors which we called. He was very down to earth, nothing was an inconvenience for him.
    Based upon the funeral was over the lock down period he did his best for us and our family which other funeral directors flatly refused. From potentially waiting 6 weeks for lockdown to ease, allowing family to view through to cars.
    Nobody ever wants to use funeral directors, however we were delighted that we did choose your services. Everyone commented how good you and your team where on the day too.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Frances many thanks for your lovely kind words. The team and myself are always pleased to get such reviews. The time we are in at the moment has been difficult for all and we do our best to help our families give their loved ones the send off they deserve. Many Thanks Shayne and team.
