Rebecca Byram 7th Aug 2025

Words can not describe the service we have received from amelia so caring. Compassionate and so very helpful. Loosing our close friend has been very heartbreaking and without amelia's help through it all I don't think we could of give Graham the send off he wanted. Thankyou so much for everything Mr + Mrs Byram

    I cannot recommend G. Robert’s Funeral Director highly enough. George and the Team were caring, very professional and the attention to detail was second to none. Our funeral was very small but we were treated just the same as one where a large attendance is expected. We are so grateful for the way they guided us and helped us through this very sad, hard time. Thank you.

    No one ever wants to be in the situation to plan a funeral for their child, but George and the team made sure to support us with every decision we needed to make. No ask was ever too much, and they made sure that our little Nolan had the best service he possibly could. We are so grateful as a family, as they were also very accommodating with appointments whilst we are in the Nicu with our other son! Fabulous team!

    On behalf of the family thank you for delivering such a lovely service for mum. Very emotional day (as expected), but we were looked after every step of the way.

    The visual tributes were perfect, the whole day flowed smoothly and it really felt like we gave her a service she would be proud of. Beautiful flowers.

    Special thanks to George, Amelia and all the staff.

  • 5 Joanne Savill 15th Jan 2025

    From the first contact the service was excellent. Everything is clearly explained and you are given time to ask anything you want. I received care and attention throughout. I was surprised that I could opt for a direct cremation, with no service.
    Amelia was so lovely and supportive and kept me informed throughout.
    I would highly recommend G Robert’s. You can tell they are a family business.
    Thank you.

  • 5 Jane Robinson 6th Jan 2025
