Gillian Roberts 3rd Mar 2023

We were very pleased with the warm, professional, personal service provided by the G. Roberts team. They were all outstanding and made a difficult day manageable. The coffin was beautiful and the flowers were amazing. The horse and carriage were just as we'd imagined, and I truly couldn't imagine a better send off for my mum.
