I would like to thank and fully recommend the service provided by the team at R Davies and Son, Gloucester Road for the funeral or our beloved Mum. And indeed, the service provided for our beloved Dad’s funeral 11 months earlier during pandemic restrictions.
Catherine and team managed all the arrangements leading up to and the day of the funeral in a sympathetic, professional manner, keeping us updated ensuring all our requests including a few last-minute changes were all taken care off without any fuss.
A safe, trusted pair of hands is required at a time like this, thank you Catherine, Oliver and team.

Thank you to Oliver, Russell and all the team on the day of my wife's funeral. I was very professionally and sensitively guided through all the arrangements necessary at this difficult time and with the additional social distancing requirements. We had used R Davies & Son previously for our eldest son's funeral so had no hesitation using again.

Excellent service, initial consultation sensitively handled despite social distancing and mask wearing. Whole process was made easy, minister selected was ideal for my mum's individual circumstances and all requests were carried out exactly as stipulated. Mum's service felt appropriate and had a lovely family feel to it.

From start to finish the service was impeccable. We were put at ease the minute we walked through the door. Pete was very professional, informative and helpful, and made the whole process a lot easier for my step daughters, who were dreading it. They left the branch with the feeling that their Dad was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend them.
