ACCREDITED BY LEADING FUNERAL ASSOCIATIONS

NATIONWIDE COLLECTION FROM HOSPITALS OR HOSPICES

Thank you to Pete and Tricia for the outstanding care, kindness and professionalism they gave to us in organising my Dad's funeral. They made us feel that Dad was only person in their care. My father's funeral was a dignified affair and they supported with all the arrangements and accommodated everything that was requested. Harry, who drove my Dad's hearse, was also amazing, as were all the staff who supported us on the day. The aftercare from J B Shakespeare has been outstanding.

Shakespeare's are really to be recommended for their sensitive approach to grieving families. They listen carefully, respond quickly and give you the assurance you need that all will go as smoothly as possible. I was particularly impressed by Trish who has excellent attention to detail and a calm and considered approach which is just what you need when you feel rather overwhelmed by a difficult chapter.
