"Their calm manner instills confidence and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was clearly explained and their attention to detail is excellent. Maggie had contacted us prior to the funeral to discuss procedures and answer any questions. Their friendly and professional approach certainly made a sad occasion that bit easier."
— Catharine Leatherland (about Maggie)
"Thank you Sally, for your caring approach and your sensitive manner when discussing difficult topics. The Funeral Director and his team were respectful on the day of the funeral and ensured that everything was ok before and after the service."
— Joanne Kirtley (about Sally)
"From informing them of dads passing, right the way through to being dropped off at our venue after the funeral/burial, the service we received was impeccable. They know their job inside out and made sure we were fully informed and understood everything that was going to happen."
— Helen McIntosh
"They ensured that my Nan had a beautiful service and all of our requests were fulfilled perfectly making a very difficult time that little easier."
— Ellie
"The whole experience was so emotionally overwhelming and so hard to process. The directors at Ginns & Gutteridge were amazing so respectful and supportive make sure my mum had a wonderful service."
— Lindsey Coles
"With the new Medical Examiner process, things do seem to take longer but this was handled really well and the experience of the team was invaluable. Like most people, I'm not used to making funeral arrangements and don't really know much about what's required so it was very helpful to have a team that have worked in this business for many years. It seemed as though anything we needed could be sorted and everybody treated us with the greatest kindness."
— Sarah Oliver (about Bev)
