I would just like to say a big thank you to Rachel and all the staff at Robert Nuttall funeral service ( Rochdale) . You have all been really amazing and caring for my brother Nicholas and everything to do with organising his funeral and just being there for me and I'm so grateful to you all for everything. He had a beautiful send off. Nothing was ever to much trouble for me whether it was a phone call or text message to ask a question or what I needed to do regarding organising my brothers funeral. Rachel is lovely and so helpful she's always there on the end of phone for you. Thank you Rachel and thank you to everyone at Robert Nuttall funeral service. Casey

Organising Dad’s funeral is one of the most important things we will ever do. We wanted everything to be perfect, so that we properly honoured him and brought ourselves comfort from knowing that we did right by him. Michelle (Rochdale branch) helped us honour our Dad in the exact way we hoped for. We thank her for her professionalism, compassion, expertise, and patience. We could not have asked for a better guide as we celebrated Dad’s life and laid him to rest. We highly recommend Michelle as one of the most capable and genuine people you could hope to meet.
