"Such perfect personal touches as wearing purple accents as a tribute for my Dad whose favourite colour was purple. Sarah helped make the traumatic experience of arranging a funeral so much easier to bear. My Mum was so impressed she has insisted we use your services for her funeral in the future."
— Chezzie Johns (about Sarah Kester)
"Sarah showed excellent flexibility and worked hard to keep me informed while I was out of the UK. She provided kind, compassionate and considerate support to my step father which was so reassuring. Sarah seemed to go above and beyond in all of her dealings — we are forever grateful."
— Jess DAVEY-PEEL (about Sarah Kester)
"Me and my family turned up in a bit of an emotional mess when we had been let down badly by another funeral directors. Bob answered the door, invited us in and very quickly helped us feel at ease. By the end of a meeting he wasn't expecting to have, he had very promptly and professionally arranged everything for us."
— Nikki Adams (about Bob)
"My family and myself experienced absolute professionalism and greatest empathy from Sarah Kester in our darkest times of the very sudden passing of our beloved Mum. We cannot express how deeply grateful we feel."
— Rachael Hudson (about Sarah Kester)
"The professionalism demonstrated would have meant nothing without the compassion that went with it. In moments where emotions were high and decisions seemed daunting, Sarah & Neil remained a steady and reassuring presence. They have a rare gift of turning a time of sorrow into a heartfelt celebration of life. Our family is forever grateful."
— Andrew Webber (about Sarah Kester)
"Even after the funeral, Sarah has kept contact and is helping with burial of ashes when it comes to my mums year anniversary. In moments where emotions were high and decisions seemed overwhelming, Sarah remained calm, respectful and really was there to help. I can't thank AH Roger's & Sons enough. Especially Sarah."
— Nickole Whitehead (about Sarah Kester)

I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for everything you did for our family during such a difficult time. Your kindness, compassion, and professionalism did not go unnoticed. From the very beginning, you treated us with such care and respect, which brought a great deal of comfort when we needed it most. Every detail was handled so thoughtfully, and it truly meant so much to us to know our dad was in such safe and capable hands. You helped make an incredibly emotional time feel more manageable, and we are so grateful for the dignity and warmth you showed throughout. It will always be remembered and deeply appreciated by us all.

The service my family received from A H Rogers and Sons, Shirley Branch, was excellent, without exception, all staff were wonderful. The main contact for our family was Sarah, she was compassionate and professional, and guided us through the very difficult task of arranging the funeral. On the day of the funeral, Helen led the funeral team, and took very good care of our family. She was so kind and caring, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to her and the team for all they did.

I haven’t experienced the service itself but I felt compelled to write this review (bear with me!). For about three years now, my now five year old daughter and I pass this shop on our walk home. There is the same lady in there, and my daughter loves waving to her as we pass. I think the customer service in there must be amazing for this lady has always, over three years, smiled and waved back at my daughter! This has sometimes bypassed a 2/3 yr old meltdown when not wanting to go home because I could persuade her by saying she could “wave to the nice lady in the window” as we walk home. So perhaps not your traditional review, but I wanted to say thanks for making mine and my little girl’s day brighter. I would feel in safe hands if I had need of such a service, and you as a company should be proud of your staff.

AH Roger’s & Sons Shirley deserve more than just this review. From the moment myself & family walked into the first meet after devastating loss of our mum we was greeted with compassion, care and empathy. Sarah Kester is a lovely lady, she took time to explain every step of the way, stuff we had no clue about as never had to plan for a such an awful tragic time. She really did go above & beyond for us, nothing was left undone. My mums funeral was beautiful. In moments where emotions were high and decisions seemed overwhelming, Sarah remained calm, respectful and really was there to help. Even after the funeral, Sarah has kept contact and is helping with burial of ashes when it comes to my mums year anniversary. I can’t thank AH Roger’s & Sons enough. Especially Sarah.
