From the first phone conversation to delivery of my Mother's ashes(by the same person) The entire experience was carried out with highest respect for my Mother and compassion to the family. I cannot praise and thank the whole team in Portchester enough!!
Response from A G Stapleford & Sons Funeral Directors
It has been a privilege to support your family and care for your Mother. We are proud of the whole team. It is comforting to know that the team were there to support you through this time and relieve some of the pressure through guidance and support.
Rating 4.0
I was so impressed with Angela, her professionalism was second none, she has a charming way with her and I felt very comfortable with her through this very emotional time. Nothing was too much trouble, you must be happy to have her in your team.
The only hiccup I experienced was the hearse contained not only the flowers for my mother but also flowers for another funeral. Although upsetting at the time, Ryan dealt with this very well, he was apologetic .
The issue with the flowers has been reflected in my scoring.
Many thanks for the bouquet of flowers from your Company, a lovely gesture which won’t be forgotten.
Thank you.

If I could I would give 6 stars. The service given by Angela was above and beyond what was expected. She smoothed out the whole process and got things done. It destressed the whole process and gave a friendly contact to use.
This continued with Rebecca who ensured the funeral went seamlessly as planned.
These two ladies are exceptional and when put together an unbeatable team.
My heart felt thanks for the help given.
Response from A G Stapleford & Sons Funeral Directors
It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference. Your family continues to be in our thoughts and we are honoured to have been able to give you the service you needed.

From the moment we contacted Angela at Staplefords in Portchester the service and care we received was second to none from beginning to end. We could not fault any aspect at all and should the need arise again in the future we will not hesitate to return to Staplefords.

From start to finish the wonderful team at A G Stapleford & Sons provided an amazing experience in what is a difficult and challenging time for my family. They worked with compassion and care and always went above and beyond in their effort to take the pressure off and manage everything for you. Special mention must go to Katie at the Porchester office. She made my life so much easier and I would recommend her and the company to be trusted with any arrangements and will certainly be my first call next time.
