Response on behalf of R Davies & Son Funeral Directors2 September 2019We are grateful of receiving your online review. I am glad we were able to provide you with the support and guidance needed and that you and the family were well cared for. - Rating 5.030 August 2019We were very happy with our experience with R Davies & Son. From the night they came to our relative's home after she died they could not have been more helpful. Everybody was very kind, efficient and professional.
When making the funeral arrangements everything was carefully explained. They arranged the notice in the local press and also the printing of the Order of Service. We were especially pleased with the way in which the photograph of our deceased relative was presented on the cover.
On the day everything went very smoothly and we were grateful not to have to worry about dealing with the collection for the Hospice after the service.
None of the family live within 120 miles of Bristol. This could have proved difficult but the excellent communication we enjoyed ensured this never caused any problems.
We can unreservedly recommend R Davies and Son.Response on behalf of R Davies & Son Funeral Directors2 September 2019Thank you for an exceptional review.

- Rating 5.019 April 2019I was treated with the upmost respect and dignity throughout my contact.
Everything was explained to me clearly and concisely in a time of high emotions from the moment I made the initial call to advise that my brother had passed away.
Nothing was too much trouble, a telephone call, an email all responded too professionally and promptly.
I felt that my brother was safe, after caring for him for the last 18years this was quite a challenge for me but I was reassured with words such as “we will take great care of him”.
I can’t thank the team enough for their support in preparing for his funeral, for my time with him and for being so caring.
I extend my gratitude to Jacuie and Shaun.
The funeral plan was purchased in 2005 and I was not disappointed with the plan and had no extra monies too pay.Response on behalf of R Davies & Son Funeral Directors23 April 2019Thank you for sharing your experience with us on your online review.

If I was worried about something or had a question I would phone or ‘ pop’ in and without exception someone would see me and help in a sympathetic manner. This was so important at such an emotional time .
The privacy of the Chapel of Rest was lovely and peaceful , being able to see mum like this was extremely helpful , the staff being calm and comforting.
I would highly recommend R Davies and Son , on the funeral day they guided myself and the family through the day without any problems , the staff were respectful , reliable and efficient , they made an emotional day stress free and for this we will be forever thankful .Response on behalf of R Davies & Son Funeral Directors18 April 2019Thank you for sharing your experience with us on your online review.
