The funeral of our Mother was carried out to our wishes and was exactly what we hoped for. The celebrant was helpful and pleasant and we were pleased with the service. We also had the webcam for our family who couldn’t be with us , to watch the funeral live in Canada and Australia. The only issue was that we couldn’t bring our Mother from the hospital to the funeral home for 2 weeks, which was upsetting but the funeral directors were very busy.They were very respectful and sensitive to our loss .

What a great service Stanway and Garnett provide, they couldn't have been more helpful. From the first initial contact to the day of the funeral Lisa & Angela and their team were fantastic. I would recommend their services to all.
Many thanks

All the staff from first contact to assistance after the event were respectful and helpful. The advice and guidance prior to the funeral by the director and celebrant was professionally delivered, sensitive and appropriate in all respects and this significantly contributed to the organisation of the day and its success. Long experience of the particular factors in the local area were especially appreciated given the long distance organisation. These were delivered in a clear and factual way with explanations for the reasoning that aided decision making.
The day itself went smoothly with any adaptations to the program dealt with with the minimal of fuss. All of the advice proved to be pertinent and contributed to a successful outcome for all those involved. This was particularly important not only for the immediate family but for many of my Mum's youngest relatives, her grandchildren and great grandchildren , and those who travelled long distances to be there and her old friends. Many commented on what a good send off she had received.
I hope the final stages with the cremation internment go equally well as it will finalise the closure on this chapter of our lives and leave us with happy memories.
Thank you to all involved for what you have done to support the family in this way.

We were kept informed of the process all the way through with the Director going above and beyond to add the special request from the deceased. I could not have asked for a better and intimate send off for my Mother.

This is a caring company that provided exactly the type of cremation that I wanted for my husband. They were in contact on many occasions to check on my wellbeing and took care of everything in a dignified way. This is a difficult time for anyone but knowing I could leave things in their hands was one less thing I had to worry about. Thank you.

Unfortunately I have had cause to use their services on more than one occasion lately. They have always been friendly very helpful and respectful of myself, my family and the deceased. Nothing is too much trouble and they will always try to accommodate your wishes. I will never use anyone else.

From the moment we rang Stanway and Garnett, nothing was too much of a problem. The undertakers who came to take my Mam away were absolutely lovely, they even made the bed and left a moving card of memory on her pillow.
Our funeral director was attentive and very caring. He knew exactly what was needed and put our minds at rest that everything would go as we would like. He kept in regular contact to make sure that we were all ok.
Every time we went to the office we were offered cups of teas and hugs. We even had the option to have a cup of tea in the chapel of rest with Mam.
They made her look beautiful and peacefully at rest.
We can't thank them enough for their help.

At such a difficult and emotional time I was guided and supported through the process of arranging the funeral of my father. Refreshingly I received practical advice and reassurance every step of the way to a beautiful and fitting funeral. I will never forget the excellent service and can’t recommend them more highly.

This was our first experience of having to make decisions and arrangements for a funeral, so didn’t know what to expect. The whole process was a lot easier with the guidance of all of the staff from Stanway and Garnett. They recommended and advised us on things we hadn’t thought about and having that helped us all through a difficult time. Amazing personal service and would highly recommend.

Joseph and all the staff at Redcar and Middlesbrough where amazing in supporting me with my mums death they were kind compassionate in everything they did. It was an extremely difficult time when my mum passed away as we were transporting her back home (overseas) to have the burial there Joseph and his team did an amazing job and my mum was really well looked after. I love the idea that the team only use female staff to deal with the female clients very thoughtful and respectful. I was kept informed with everything and my mum looked so peaceful I really really can’t thank you all enough and would highly recommend Stanway and Garnett to anyone
