We as a family would recommend G Gilbert 100%. We had chosen them firstly for our Dad 10 years ago and for our mum who passed away last month. Gemma,Will and the team are so professional, compassionate, respectful and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thankyou to each and everyone at G Gilbert for making a very difficult time a little bit easier

Unparalleled compassion and utmost attention to detail from the outset. Will ushered me through a harrowing period with rare dignity, insight and empathy. Although my requirements were not as exhaustive as some, G. Gilbert treated me with great respect, allowing limitless time to ensuring my wishes were enacted exactly, including complete compliance with how the ceremony should unfold on the day. A universally uplifting and fortifying experience in time of greatest need. Thank - you to Gemma also as contacts with her were so polite and understanding. Would completely recommend.
