At our most traumatic and emotional time when we lost our dearest mum it was so reassuring to have Shirley to turn too. All our questions, needs and requests were taken care of in the most sympathetic and caring manner with no detail forgotten or overlooked. Shirley is a credit to her profession and the business and we shall be eternally grateful to her. The words within this review come nowhere close in explaining our heartfelt thanks to both Shirley and her team.

R Butler’s handling of the arrangements for both by parents this year was first class. Faultless. Shirley in the Hailsham office was responsive, sensitive and professional Her team of Ushers were the same. I cannot speak more highly of R Butler. They made a difficult time significantly less stressful and distressing.
