I was shocked at the funeral I attended today at how unprofessional the funeral bearers were! It almost felt disrespectful talking to each other during the service in the doorway of the church. Shouting round the car at each other about getting the stands out the car for the coffin. The all standing around chatting at the grave side ! Not the send off Mears have given our family members before shame really for the family members who had trusted them with our loved ones send off.

During this difficult Jackie Stacey at the Lewisham branch was very supportive to my family. She was professional, experienced and explained everything in detail. Jackie made the process so much easier for us to deal with. She was warm compassionate kind and caring. I would highly recommend Steven Mears. Thank you Jackie.We would also like to thank Bobby for his support during the funeral.

When I contacted Steven Mears in December I had never organised a funeral. I was terrified, but I soon found out I didn’t need to be. Jackie (at the Lewisham branch) was incredible from start to finish. She made me feel so supported and helped me to make decisions. She made something that should have been awful and stressful much easier. I cannot thank the team enough for helping me to organise a beautiful service for my Auntie.
