  • 5 Michael Muscroft 26th Feb 2019

    Without a doubt, Shayne and his team have provided the best possible service. He also conducted the arrangements for my fathers funeral several years ago, with the same empathy, sympathy, courteousness and complete satisfaction.

    Shayne provides such a good service that our family has adopted his company as our family funeral provider and I personally would not want anyone else to conduct my funeral arrangements.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Michael, Thank you for letting me look after your family members and for adopting me as your family funeral Director.

  • 5 Jean Gower 20th Feb 2019

    Could not praise Shayne enough for his help and guidance with my dad’s funeral. He was very understanding and nothing was too much trouble, what ever time of day. My two daughters got to see their grandad in the chapel of rest and say their goodbyes. Commenting he looked like he would just sit up, Shayne felt this was a complement to his work. I would certainly recommend him as he was recommended to us. It is a very upsetting and difficult time and you want to get things right, this was made possible by his understanding and compassion as well as professionalism. Thanks from Colin’s family.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Jean and all Colin's Family, Thank you for this lovely review I am so happy I could help you at this time and thank you for letting me look after Colin for you.

  • 5 Allison Lethbridge 7th Jan 2019

    I would like to thank Shayne Stork and his staff for all their hard work and help during this heart breaking time with the loss of our mother.
    Shayne gave us invaluable advice and made it possible to visit mum in the chapel of rest several times which helped us a great deal.
    I would personally like to thank Helena for the care she took of our mother washing, dressing doing her hair and make up (without even a photo) even painting her nails. You got everything perfect, mum look as though she was sleeping You helped so much during this awful time and saying thank you doesn't seem enough.
    You treated her like family.
    So thank you from myself and siblings. Can I just say to anyone considering using your services please do so, it will be a decision you'll be glad you made.
    Nothing eases the pain but Shayne and his team take away a lot of pressure.
    Thank you once again from all the Lethbridge family.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Allison and family, Thank you for your very kind words about us here, it was an honor and a privilege to look after your mum, we are glad you found comfort being here with us, pop in for a cup of tea if you are ever near Kind Regards Shayne and Helena
