"From the first phone contact with Karen to the last check in I felt looked after, supported, listened to. She helped me make decisions and was only too happy to carry out little tasks. Nothing was too much trouble."

"They treated us—and most importantly, my dad—with the utmost respect, giving us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Their calm, caring presence made an emotional time feel much more manageable, and no question was ever too small or silly. They consistently went above and beyond to put me at ease, making what could have been a difficult day feel beautifully peaceful and well held."

The funeral directors were truly incredible throughout the entire process. From start to finish, we were kept informed and supported, with every detail communicated clearly and sensitively. They treated us—and most importantly, my dad—with the utmost respect, giving us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Their calm, caring presence made an emotional time feel much more manageable, and no question was ever too small or silly. They consistently went above and beyond to put me at ease, making what could have been a difficult day feel beautifully peaceful and well held. I’m so grateful—thank you.

Nothing but praise for Ginders. From the first phone contact with Karen to the last check in I felt looked after, supported, listened to. She helped me make decisions and was only too happy to carry out little tasks. Nothing was too much trouble. She thought about which celebrant was be best suited and he was an excellent choice. John must do hundreds of funerals and yet he made ours feel personal. He’d clearly taken the time with his notes, connecting with me and others present through the service.
