Choosing a memorial
Headstones, plaques, benches and books of remembrance all serve the same purpose in different ways. There is no hurry to decide, and we can talk you through what is possible at the cemeteries and crematoria near Marylebone.

An item to treasure, a place to reflect, or a vessel to hold their ashes – honour their life in a way that feels right.

I engaged Marian's services at RP Sherry's for one of my clients as I was appointed the executor of their estate. Given it being my first time ever dealing with cremation, burial etc. Marian was absolutely fantastic. She guided me through the whole process, held my hand, gave me all the time I needed and no question seemed like a stupid question. She really made the whole process as easy as possible. She also held onto my clients ashes for an extended period of time and never made me feel like I was in a rush to sort out any issues. I would not hesitate to refer Marian's services in the future; she's an absolute Gem.

At a time when we were dealing with the immeasurable loss of our mother, we had to be practical and get in touch with a funeral director - our mother would've wanted a local business and we were very glad to have found Ronald P Sherry & Son, and met with Marian who helped guide us with the many aspects and details of the funeral, and the stages before and after.
Our family thanks you for the empathy and handling of such a sad process; we could not have asked for better care!
Thank you once again.
