I found Amanda and Stephen extremely helpful and professional. We arranged everything by telephone due to current restrictions. Amanda offered suggestions which we took and we were very pleased with proceedings. We were kept up to date with what was happening at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Right from the outset through every moment of this difficult time for our family, we all found everyone at Gordon Barber to be respectful, supportive and kind, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and human approach to have been taken with us. From the kind supportive informing phone calls regarding the entire process from Aneliese through to some comforting and supportive chat from the head coffin carrier (sorry I have forgotten his name) at the graveside.
We all thank you, from all our family

The service received from the staff at Lowestoft was professional to the highest standards. The care and attention to detail was explained very clearly under very difficult circumstances for all involved. I would have no problem in recommending Gordon and Barber to anyone for these reasons.

From the moment mum was collected by Gordon Barbers, to the last contact just to check we are ok. Amanda, Annalise and the team in lowestoft have been truley fantastic. I cannot put into words how comforting it was to have such an amazingly caring team of people look after mum and our family. I would very highly recomend them To anyone. Everything seemed to go seamlessly and that took a lot of the stress and pressure from us.
