  • 5 Debbie Wilson 9th Mar 2019

    All I can say is that the care we were given by your staff, especially Kay was perfect.  We we dealt with promptly and with such care and respect.  Kay was especially supportive with Johns 12 year old grandson who found it very overwhelming.  The funeral service was a wonderful thanksgiving as well as a touching farewell to an amazing man.  Thanks just isn’t enough. 

  • 5 Heather Scott 3rd Dec 2018

    I want to express our heartfelt thanks to Andrew Grey and his staff for all they did for my Mam and the family. They are so thoughtful and caring and at the same time most professional. I would have no hesitation in speaking highly of Andrew and recommend his services. At this time of bereavement it is comforting to know you have someone who looks after your loved one and also those left behind.

  • 5 Billy Renshaw 11th Aug 2018

    Andrew and his team, Kay, Susan and young Liam being the part of the team which we have dealt with personally looking after my Dad’s funeral have gone above and beyond in every aspect of care, consideration and quality of service. Losing a parent is one of the most difficult things to cope with in life and this very caring team have made this difficult time more manageable. Exceptionally personal service making everyone in the family feel at ease, constant communication regarding important details and last but certainly not least, asking how the whole family are doing and if anymore help is needed. A genuinely compassionate service from start to finish, thank you all so much from the Renshaw family x

  • 5 Michael Cleary 3rd Aug 2018

    Andrew and his team have been incredible. From the 1st call they’ve taken care of everything and have kept it touch, checking if we’re ok and keeping us posted every step of the way. They are still in touch with us now even though everything is finished to see if we’re ok. Absolutely brilliant service at such a difficult time. Faultless. Thank you.

  • 5 Dean Maddison 9th Jan 2018

    I cannot put in words how amazing Andrew Grey and his team were looking after us for our mothers funeral. The care and attention was sublime and personal and certainly not a corporate affair. Andrew is a true gent who makes you feel that your loved ones are truest cared for. He speaks from the heart and made sure everything was looked after with regular updates running up to the service. The ceremony for my mother was outstanding and very professional. I would like to personally thank Andrew and his team for looking after us so well and that if there was anything that we needed he was always at the other end of the phone. I would certainly recommend Andrew Grey
