John Grainger 14th Nov 2024

A huge thank you to George and the family for putting an arm around my broken family and looking after us from the awful day that my wife Sue passed.  A total in house service, provided by lovely caring people saved us time, stress and upset. Advice over every big or minor detail was never any bother to them and the floral tributes were incredible (thank you (Amelia). I am sure all the funeral companies in Scarborough are excellent but I could recommend the Robert’s family with the highest regard. John G

  • 5 Lisa Birley 23rd Oct 2024

    Having had several funerals in the family organised by G. Roberts over the last few years I had no doubt in my mind about who was going to take care of my husband. From the moment that they were informed about our wishes for the funeral, great care and communication was given by each and every staff member. I had a very late request and this was dealt with in a very calm, kind and professional manner and was exactly as requested. Nothing was too much, they made a very difficult time for us, easier to cope with and then to celebrate the life of our loved one. Thank you.
