Very respectful and dignified service, right from the first contact (on a Sunday night) through to the end. On particularly touching moment was when the collected my Mother and bowed to the car before they left.

R. Davies in Gloucester Road handled my brother's recent funeral, including the church service and afterward, the crematorium service. The team are extremely friendly, professional and quick to respond with help and advice leading up to the day. On the day itself, Catherine and the pallbearers acted with utmost care and dignity for which I give my heartfelt thanks. I would not hesitate to recommend R Davies. Thank you!
