We could not have chosen a better company to arrange my wife's funeral. Everything was dealt with very efficiently and everyone from Celia, the Funeral Service Arranger, to those who were involved on the day of her cremation were very courteous and very professional.

Celia was my main point of contact with Gordon Barber, and from the start she made the experience as easy and problem-free as possible. No question she could not answer, nor task she could not carry out and all with a helpful and friendly manner.

I never felt any pressure to do [or spend] more, and on the day of the funeral was impressed by the respect and consideration shown by all your staff. The kindness behind the surprise gift of an enlarged print of a favourite photograph brought me great comfort - further evidence of an excellent service. Thank you.

From the moment of booking an appointment to the culmination of the sad ceremony and beyond, I felt looked after, cared for, and helped through the very worst day of my life. It was special; it felt personal. I have nothing but praise for all involved in bringing this time of loss to a gentle conclusion, and the aftercare also means a lot, as the care feels with me still.
Thankyou Gordon Barber, most sincerely.

Really professional care from start to finish - dealing with a family still coming to terms with the loss of a loved one, but in such a professional caring way.

The suggestions they provided, which fitted in with our thoughts were really helpful, given no detail had been worked out previously.

Our family were delighted with the compassion, care and thoughtfulness that was shown to us at every stage of our contact with Gordon Barber. From my initial Meeting with Celia to begin discussing the arrangements right through to the Funeral and support in the subsequent days, I was treated with utmost respect and great patients was shown with my many queries. The Team were very supportive and accommodating as we discussed our plans and their advice was greatly appreciated. We too were cared for compassionately on the day of the funeral and were given time at every stage. Malcolm, who was exceptional, and his colleagues were compassionate and unobtrusive.

Overall We were extremely pleased with the service we were offered.
