I've attended too many funerals and been involved in arranging quite a few, so can recommend G Roberts of Scarborough in the very highest terms for the excellent job they did for my mother's funeral. Everything was done kindly, courteously, respectfully, professionally and promptly. It was a huge comfort. This family firm provide a really good funeral service.

    I have very high confidence in George Roberts Funeral Directors, (and I'm a bit of a stickler for detail and accuracy so my praise is not lightly given).

    Following the sad loss of our dear mother we once again required the support of undertakers and without any hesitation we contacted the Family Funeral Director George Roberts. This was an easy decision as they have attended dad to our family over a number of decades and the service they have always provided is exemplary and done with such dignity and respect for the family that are grieving but for the deceased also. My mother would have been honoured an d proud of the service that was afforded to all of us during this time of loss. Thank You
