Dignified and compassionate throughout
Response from G. & L. Evans Funeral Directors
I am pleased that you were well looked after by our team.

The funeral director that we used was amazing. He was very attentive knew exactly what we wanted and was full of empathy. He arranged my dad's funeral with him 7 yrs ago. We added the final details of dads funeral but he remembered us from when he carried out my mums funeral. My dad would have loved everything about his funeral and all the details, we could not have done this without this gentleman's personal touch. We cannot thank him enough.

We used the Highworth branch of G&L Evans and cannot put into words how much we truly appreciated the care and service we were given, at a time when life was feeling overwhelming and impossible.
From the first meeting we were instantly comfortable and we knew we were being consulted with on who my Dad was, what was the best way to remember and celebrate him and the suggestions and input given to help support us in our decisions were spot on. All avenues were fully covered and so appropriate to the planning for the day, the special time we could have as a family in the chapel of rest and the amazing tribute on the day for my Dad.
There was nothing else we could have wished for to be done and the whole end to end process was carried out in a way that was respectful of a much loved husband, Dad, and Grandad and caring and supportive for all of our family. It felt like you really knew and represented who he was and we will be forever thankful to you. Much love from the Heap family.

The staff at G&L Evans made me and my family feel so cared for by them - they thought of everything and their service was so personal. Our funeral director was always available to answer any question we had, she never once made us feel under any pressure, and approached every aspect of the arrangements with great sensitivity. On the day of my fathers funeral the respect shown by Sarah and her team and their dedication to making sure it ran smoothly was appreciated so much by myself and my family.
