My dad was looked after by Gresty Funeral Homes a few years ago, so when my wife sadly died I had no hesitation on ringing them.They are kind, thoughtful and will do anything you ask, well within reason.They are very professional, you can tell straight away they know what they are doing.When I pass I will definitely use them, even my family, but hopefully way into the future.Thank you "Arthur Gresty's" you should be proud of the work you do.I would just like to say a special thank you to Paul who did my dad's and wife's service, plus the two ladies, who work at the Timperley Branch, they were so caring.

When my mum died some distance from her home, I contacted Arthur Gresty as they were her local Funeral Directors. From the moment I spoke to Jill I felt my mum and my family were in safe hands. Jill was warm, helpful and extremely efficient. It was no problem for my mum to be taken closer to home for her funeral and Jill was very proactive in making the funeral arrangements according to our wishes. We met with Anthony to discuss funeral arrangements and he too was warm, professional and helpful; he was discerning and knew how to engage with us. My mum's funeral was lovely, everything ran smoothly and Susan Blackshaw, the Celebrant was absolutely wonderful.I would absolutely recommend Arthur Gresty Funeral Home without hesitation. Everyone met us with warmth, professionalism and kindness during our sadness. Thank you.

Anthony was extremely professional, caring and compassionate when arranging my father's funeral arrangements. I would highly recommend Anthony and Arthur Gresty. I had no experience of dealing with these matters and they made it much easier to navigate and arrange, with kindness. Thank you. x

Anthony was amazing to deal with after Mum passed away.We had previously been so impressed with his knowledge and gentle manner, when Dad died in 2000, he was our obvious choice.He was so kind, compassionate and professional and he gently guided and assisted us every step of the way.Every question was dealt with quickly and efficiently and nothing was too much trouble even when we made last minute changes.Anthony officiated at the service. He made sure that it had a personal touch and it reflected mumβs life beautifully.It ran so smoothly and was the best send off for Mum.She would have loved it.Anthony also organised the catering after the service and we were delighted with the food and choices.Thank you so much Anthony for helping us get through this difficult time.We would definitely recommend Arthur Gresty.

Arthur Gresty funeral home and especially Mike helped guide our family through the process when our lovely dad/husband to mum died.Mike was very caring prior to dad's funeral service and very supportive on the day.The whole team was very professional on the day.Mike even pointed out a rainbow after the service and stopped the limousine for us all to look at and take a photo. We spoke about rainbows during the service and he knew it was meaningful to the family πThank you very much Mike and all of the team at Grestys.The family appreciate your care and professionalism
