What families say

"My family cried, smiled and laughed together with Mike. On the day, we really were able to celebrate our Mum's life as we made our final farewells. Mike was professional and efficient while also showing empathy, dignity, respect and warmth."

— Diane Carson (about Mike)

"They guided us when we weren't really sure what to do. The care they took looking after my mother in 2024 and then my father recently - we felt truly supported and they worked with us to make sure both my mother and father's wishes were met. The respect they give you is above and beyond."

— Alex Clifford (about Anne Marie)

"At each and every stage of a daunting process we felt entirely informed, supported, and confident that Dad and we were in good, professional hands. Mike went above and beyond to ensure we were able to say goodbye to Dad in the way we wanted to."

— Emilie Halligan (about Mike)

"The way she gently guided my mum through each step made a really difficult time much easier to bear. Everything was carried out with such dignity and thoughtfulness that we never had to worry about a thing - we were simply able to focus on saying goodbye."

— Phil McClure (about Anne Marie)

"Mike Smith provided such an exceptional service that I feel he requires a special mention. Quietly steering us through an unfamiliar journey, and all the time keeping in contact in case we had any concerns or worries. Mum would have been proud."

— Richard Lawson (about Mike Smith)

"Anne-Marie took a huge amount of time, even after normal working hours, to advise me on the logistics of Dad's funeral service. All my, many, questions were always answered accurately and quickly. Their professionalism, kindness and understanding absolutely helped me through the most difficult time of my life and I am profoundly grateful to them."

I arrived unannounced and without an appointment but although the parlour was short-staffed due to holidays, time was found to discuss what I wished for, quietly and efficiently and when the time came for the memorial service itself, everything had been set up perfectly.

All staff members were polite and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble, in the days from booking the funeral, to the day of the service itself.

We are very grateful to Grays for providing excellent service and support through our recent bereavement. All members of staff were extremely professional yet caring throughout the process. I am unable to name everyone but Anne Marie was our lead contact and she kept us informed and consulted as required. Thank you

I genuinely cannot express how much I appreciated the support and professionalism from John Gray and Co when my beloved late-father recently passed. From the initial phone call to the days after Dad was laid to rest I am so profoundly grateful for the help and advice- particularly from Anne-Marie and Paul who I dealt with most. Dad was of a slightly different Faith to me, and it struck me as so kind that Anne-Marie took a huge amount of time, even after normal working hours, to advise me on the logistics of Dad's funeral service as it would of course be slightly different to what I would have known. All my, many, questions were always answered accurately and quickly; and I was kept fully aware at all times of updates right from Dad being received by John Gray staff to being laid to rest. It is a very tight line to walk between professionalism and over-familiarity, but John Gray walked it perfectly. Of course a phone call to any funeral director is a call no-one wants to make, but I would have absolutely zero reservations in recommending John Gray and Co to anyone when the sad time comes. Their professionalism, kindness and understanding absolutely helped me through the most difficult time of my life and I am profoundly grateful to them

I would like to thank Anne Marie and team for looking after myself and my brother while dealing with the recent loss of our father. Their thoughtfulness and support was amazing. The care they took looking after my mother in 2024 and then my father recently. We felt truly supported and they worked with us to make sure both my mother and fathers wishes were met. They guided us when we weren't really sure what do. They are an amazing team. The respect they give you is above and beyond.
