I cannot tell you how much support and care we had when our dad died. Every step was explained and the whole team were so respectful. Alicia was perfect. She understood. She gave advice but wasn’t bossy, she allowed us time and gave guidance when we felt overwhelmed.
Thank you so much.

The funeral was conducted with exceptional professionalism, dignity, and genuine kindness.
Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish, allowing the family to focus entirely on saying goodbye and honouring Jack’s life. The team struck exactly the right balance — present when needed, discreet when not — and handled every moment with care and respect.

W G Rathbone in Stratford Upon Avon were excellent in arranging my brother's funeral. Leanne and Laura in the office were helpful, kind and struck exactly the right tone during the planning. On the day, Martin lead the team and again we cannot speak highly enough of the way they carried out their duties. I must also commend the 2 guys who came to collect my brother on the day he passed. Again they were considerate and helped us through a difficult time.
I can thoroughly recommend the whole team.
Many thanks.
