Rated 5/5

I cannot praise J. Garside staff enough. My daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer over 3 years ago and arranged the funeral she wanted.

We had a beautiful celebration of her life and Garside made it all possible.

They treated my daughter with kindness and respect throughout the time they had her in their care.

I would recommend them to everyone. In fact both my husband and I will be planning our funeral with them shortly.

Sam and Rachael were the people we dealt with the most and I’m very grateful to them both, but there are lots of staff we didn’t see and I’d like to thank them too.

Wendy and the team have been a constant solace our family towards the final months of last year when we lost both our parents within weeks of each other. We can not thank you for the care, support and outstanding service you provided to us whilst arranging their funerals.
