My family recently used the services of Nuttalls in Shaw following the death of our Mum .They had taken very good care of our Dad 10 years earlier and I didn't think that could be surpassed. I can honestly say that Zara was from our first call absolutely outstanding .Her care and attention to detail were exemplary.Nothing was left to chance and her professionalism shone through .Zara helped us make decisions that were right for our family and on the day of the funeral the whole team delivered a first class service Thank you .

Zara has been absolutely fantastic throughout planning my nannas funeral, couldnt recommend her enough. From the moment we called she showed compassion and was quickly able to arrange an appointment. Having never had to arrange a funeral before she explained everything thoroughly, she kept us informed about any updates, as their had been issues within the family she even ensured only those with a password we set could contact and discuss the funeral arrangements/chapel of rest. She also recommened Rev. Jean Clements who delivered the service beautifully. So many people have reached out to say how well the day went and we have Robert Nuttall Funeral Services Shaw to thank for that!

I would highly recommend Robert Nuttall Funeral Service. Zara was wonderful from the moment we called them the night my dad passed away. She showed great empathy to all my family. Highly professional on the day. Arranged a wonderful celebrant called Brian Bull. Everything was perfect. Thank you Zara.

Zara was great from the beginning, she was kind, helpful and thoughtful. She also kept me updated on every step of the process. This was a great help for me and my family to get through the days up until my father was finally laid to rest. Thank you so much xx Regards Linda

From start to finish of Robert Nuttalls funeral service in Shaw dealing with our grans funeral we were made to feel that she was being loved & cared for as if she was part of their own family. Zara did an amazing job of looking after our gran & all of us on our grans day. Zara made sure that as a family we all knew where to be & What to expect from the service, our gran was buried at failsworth cementry at the age of 100years old but as we were the younger end of grans family to still be alive Zara helped us all get through the day. We could not of wished for a nicer send of for Dorothy wood & would just like to say a thank you to Zara & The team for helping us all have our last memories made special. Love Angela & Alan Hughes & all the family x
