Chloe, Alison and the team at Ginns & Gutteridge were the Funeral Directors at my mum's funeral held yesterday. We cannot thank them enough for what they did for us and their support, guidance and sensitivity in the lead up and on the day.
The service was perfect, and captured mum's life and spirit in the celebration we wanted it to be.
We would recommend Ginns & Gutteridge to anyone looking for funeral services.
