Ginns and Gutteridge have recently helped us through a very difficult time that as a family we have not had to face before. We were treated with such kindness and sensitivity together with a professionalism that made us feel in very safe hands throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. When on the day we saw the reassuring face of Scott it was like seeing a member of the family. The day should not have felt a happy one as indeed we would all rather not have had to organise it at all, but it was so beautifully tailer made for our precious Father that between us and Ginns and Gutteridge we truly felt that we had done our very best for him. The whole team have a gift of knowing how to look after you in such fragile times. Our dearest Dad was such a polite and dignified man that this celebration of his life reflected that in every way and we are so very grateful to this wonderful company for all that they did for us.

Very professional team at Loughborough Branch. Scott was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. He made a traumatic situation much, much easier to cope with. Everything that was needed was dealt with and more besides. The branch, that I had contracted were very sympathetic and I could not have wished for a better organisation and I recommend their services to whoever needs funeral directors.

I dealt entirley with the same person throughout the process and this was important to me. From my very first conversation with Scott I felt listened to and respected. Things were complicated by the distance between the funeral directors and my location (the location of my mums passing) Everything explained thoroughly and even trivial questions that I am sure I asked dealt with as if they were the most important questions ever. On the day of the funeral, although it was obviously very emotional, Scott and the team were amazing. Everything happened at our pace and with the greatest of care and respect. Everything was delivered as we had asked and I was pleased that mum got the funeral that she deserved and I was able to respect her wishes.
