What families say

"David sourced a videographer which accommodated family members in other countries, dealt with a third party on my behalf, and very subtly gave me my cues on when to act during the service and at the graveside. I felt very supported during my time with John Gray & Co."

— S M (about David)

"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)

"The way Anne Marie 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 went above and beyond to ensure we were able to say goodbye to Dad in the way we wanted to. 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. We are profoundly grateful."

— Emilie Halligan (about Mike)

"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. His dignified approach made us feel so confident that everything would be ok on the day….and it was. 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 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.

We can’t thank Anne Marie, Liam and the whole team enough for their care and support around my dad’s funeral. From the very beginning, Anne Marie was kind, patient and incredibly organised, and the way she gently guided my mum through each step made a really difficult time much easier to bear. On the day of the funeral, Liam and his team were calm, respectful and highly professional. 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. We are deeply grateful for their compassion and the exceptional service they provided, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Everything was fantastic, detailed and nothing too difficult. With a large family and lots of visitors in and out, the team were amazing and always welcome. Thank you particularly to Anne-Marie who had the upmost patience, kindness and provided us with undivided attention.

Ann-Marie was great in dealing with what is our first direct death in the family giving compassionate support and valuable advice. Paul was very professional and extremely helpful in making sure the funnel went according to plan. Both are to be highly praised on their empathy and valuable advice, making a difficult experience more bearable. Our thanks to both and indeed the rest of the team who were also consummate professionals.
