Gemma and Will were absolutely superb looking after us all for the funeral of my Father. Everyone associated with Gilbert’s were excellent. The bearers looked after the family bearers superbly well too as they carried the coffin in. I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma and her team. Very compassionate and very professional in their dealings with us. Thank you to everyone at Gilbert’s
