I cannot fault RP Sherry in the handling of the sudden passing of my father; taking care of not just him but also the entire funeral process. They were kind, consideration and wise with their support and advice. No one wants to have have to go through this but with this team at your side you are in a safe place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Marian has been beyond incredible in a difficult time. From the start of the very first planning meeting - she was compassionate, understanding, kind and incredibly patient. She took me through everything step by step step and outlined all the possible options. It provided me with a sense of relief in a time of immense grief. She understood family dynamics and navigated them diplomatically and again with incredible kindness, patience and understanding. She organised everything with efficiency - from the dedicated church to the crematorium. My mother would have felt very special and loved. Marian was always on the end of the phone or email whenever I had a question or ask - she responded immediately and I felt really taken care of. She was incredibly helpful every step of the way. I'm so grateful she was even able to attend and give support on the day. Marian - I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done, truly amazing and I am so grateful for your support, kindness and compassion. You are amazing at your job!

Marian Davies is one of life’s treasures. Marian made a really sad situation run seamlessly and with heart. Her staff at the crematorium were fastidious, whilst being ever so gentle and respectful. I most definitely recommend this company as the best there is.
Thank you.
