Steve Clark 28th Mar 2026

From start to finish, G Robert’s were unbelievable. It felt like nothing was too much for them and they understood everything we as a family were going through, it felt personal. At such a difficult and challenging time, having G Robert’s support made it that bit easier and relieved the burden they could. Contactable when needed, check ins and a beautiful service on the day, we as a family will forever be thankful and grateful - thank you.

Josephine Harper 26th Mar 2026

Dad had a direct cremation already paid for and arranged prior to his death.  However, the detail and keeping family informed was excellent.

Duncan Graham 23rd Mar 2026

Thank you all at G Roberts for the way you looked after my mums funeral. Duncan Graham

    My mother passed away in the early hours of the morning at home. After contacting Roberts they came straight away to take her away, while all the time being respectful to her and ourselves. They also took care of the funeral.
    They made sure no stone was left unturned and advised us all the way through. This is the second time I have used them and cannot find any faults with there professionalism.
    I thank them all at a very emotional time. Nigel Richardson

All the staff were incredibly helpful l, polite and friendly and I cannot express my gratitude enough. The service was faultless and my family are extremely grateful for all their help 

  • 5 Marion Judson 1st Mar 2026

    George and his staff were so kind to me and Alex at this difficult time. George guided us through each step with respect and kindness. From the first when he took Brian to the chapel of rest, to helping us organise the funeral and he recommended Anna, our celebrant. The service was perfect and the flowers were beautiful. The venue at the North Cliff golf club for the wake was lovely and everyone enjoyed the food and drink. We were able to celebrate Brian's life with our guests and give him the send off he deserved. Thank you to everyone at George Roberts for making this possible. Marion Judson

    Excellent service. Despite living in Devon and the funeral in Scarborough, George and team took care of everything via phone and email to allow us time to travel etc. Lovely service on the day and made it possible to scatter the ashes the following day, so our return trip to Devon was not delayed. Thanks to all involved.
