Gerald Muldoon 7th Oct 2022

There are times in everyone’s lives when you need to leave it to the experts especially at times of physical and emotional stress. Having to arrange a funeral be it a first time experience or a repeated experience is not something that anyone   wants to do or may not have a choice to do. This is where following the death of my wife I found that G Robert’s were able to sympathetically take me through the whole process explaining each step at a time. My wife passed away in a hospital that was not in North Yorkshire and it was no trouble for Mr Robert to bring her back to Scarborough. They were also happy to comply with my requests from the family with the preparation details of her interment in addition to the service preparation, flowers etc, right through to her headstone recommendations. I am more than happy to recommend G Roberts to provide a full and comprehensive funeral service which will be conducted in a very sympathetic and professional manner.

Can't fault them. Excellent in every way. Their support for us at such a time was exceptional. It is so nice to deal with a local independent company that actually cares.

Louisa Oakley 20th Sep 2022

George and the team could not have been any more helpful, diligent and caring. They have supported us through such a difficult time with knowledge and great attention to detail. Their traditional approach is something to behold and remember. Thank you.
