  • 5 Andrea Hubbard 9th Mar 2025

    Shayne Stork Funeral Services recently arranged my husband's funeral & we can highly recommend them. From the start nothing was too much trouble.  Their care, compassion & professionalism made an incredibly day much easier to get through.

    Denise was so lovely & friendly which put us at ease, so that we could make the necessary decisions. She guided us through the process, making sure at all times our wishes were met. She made all of the arrangements for us. Her attention to detail could not be faulted.  At no time was there any pressure put on us to sort things out quickly. 

    On the day of the funeral apart for the very wet weather, which Shayne & his team coped with admirably, we were more than happy how smoothly things went. Thank you Shayne for making a sad day as stress free as possible.

    We are very grateful to you all for caring for me, my family & my late husband.  We could not have chosen anyone better & wish to thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

  • 5 John Andrew Russell 28th Jan 2025

    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 replied
    Dear John, Thank you for a lovely review you also worked hard to get your son back home and it was a nice service with so many of his friends attending.
