    We cannot thank Shayne and his staff enough for the beautiful send off he arranged for our Mum. Shayne showed such compassion, empathy and kindness throughout. He explained everything to us and didn't hurry us to make decisions. From the moment Mum was taken into his care we found such comfort in how she was treated. We also found Sue's help, advice and support amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

  • 5 Sue Jenkins 7th Oct 2025

    I have to say that when you lose someone precious it is a very daunting task to have to think about funeral arrangements. 
    We, the family choose Shayne Stork Funeral Services because we had heard from recommendations they were a family business.
    Well, from the first phone call to meeting Shayne we felt that we were in safe and compassionate hands. His gentle chatting and arranging of all our needs was exceptional. 
    Our family on the day was allowed to be pole bearers which meant so much to the menfolk and the black football ties for my Norwich City supporting husband was very much appreciated.
    The celebrant Jill Churchill directed the service and was well chosen by Shayne.
    All in all I have to say that we chose well and we cannot thank Shayne enough.

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Sue thank you so much for such kind words it was our pleasure to take care of John and give you the funeral you wanted for him

  • 5 Sarah Parfitt 3rd Sep 2025

    From the first call to Denise we have found Shayne and his team to be so respectful & considerate with taking care of our wife/mum. Denise made it easy for us to arrange things for the funeral and was always ready to answer any queries we had and arranged everything for us. On the day Shayne talked us through everything and made us all at ease and gave our mum a lovely send off. We as a family can’t recommend Shayne and his team enough. The care and compassion is second to none.
    Forever grateful, David, Sara, Rachel, Matthew & Jimmy 

    SHAYNE STORK replied
    Dear Sarah, Thank you for your kind words it was our honour to look after your beautiful Mum.
